The beauty of The Witch is the dark and sublimely satisfying place Park takes us to, once we realize our hero's true motivation: survival.

The deadly charisma of the key performers, notably newcomer Kim Da-mi as the teenage Ja-yoon, should ensure plenty of interest in further chapters in this story.

An often mesmerizing, occasionally kooky but thoroughly entertaining thriller.

Director Park Hoon-jung and lead actress Kim Da-mi lay the groundwork for something imaginative, violent, and stuffed to the gills with palpable crunch.

A-

Plenty bloody and brutal and un-freaking-hinged, and full of twists and shifts, the work done earlier gives the rampaging chaos more a more emotional oomph than simply watching cannon fodder villains get dismantled in vicious, gory fashion.

If Eggers "the witch " was as good as the Witch -Subversion it probably would've made more money. So good- everything & everyone were on point! Watch it !

I rarely bother writing movie reviews, but this movie is simply outstanding! Very well written and directed, with excellent acting, the many plot twists took this movie junkie completely by surprise. The Witch Pt 1 The Subversion is to witchcraft what "Let me In" is to vampires, simply the best in their respective class of monster thrillers! I saw "The Subversion" once and immediately bought the two movie set online. I can't wait to see the second movie ("The Other One")!

If you don't mind subtitles, this is a must-watch 👀 Kim Da-mi is phenomenal 🤩👊 The only downside is that it's a trilogy, and only two parts are currently out 🧐✌️
