![]() ![]() The Witch: Part 1 The Subversion brings together elements of young adult novels and stories of the last 20 years, along with the fast-paced action of large scale set pieces, like the ones seen in the James Bond franchise. Park’s film hedges on the vengeance of this girl, and her anger over her upbringing, one as a lab subject of sorts. None of that matters, though, as the entire first hour sets up the twists and turn of the back half of the film, in which the audience learns everything about Ja-yoon’s past, her present, and her plan for the future. Due to money problems, she decides to try out and advances in a national singing/talent competition. Kim Da-mi plays Ja-yoon, a girl who grew up with simple parents on a simple farm. The Subversion opens up with a young girl running for her life, only for it to immediately fast-forward 10 years into the future. Following a teenage girl’s interaction with a group of people from her past, Park’s film remains taut and tense during its 125-minute runtime. Korean writer-director Hoon-jung Park is counting on that fact with his 2018 film The Witch: Part 1 The Subversion, likely a more confusing title due to the translation into English. There’s nothing like a good revenge thriller. ![]() The Subversion uses incredible action sequences, gorgeous visuals, and enough twists to keep you entertained, despite the jam-packed plot.
