During the Halloween season, it is common to see decorations that include the image of a witch riding on a broomstick or stirring a cauldron. However, another classic depiction of a witch is that of her rocking on a creaky old chair. This image is often associated with the idea of an old and wise witch who is taking a break from her magical endeavors. The act of rocking on a chair during Halloween can symbolize the calm and relaxed nature of a witch during this time of year. It represents a moment of respite from her busy schedule of casting spells and brewing potions. The rhythmic back and forth motion of the rocking chair can also be seen as a way for the witch to connect with her supernatural powers and channel her energy.

Another interesting factor was that from the first movie, it could be concluded that these laboratories were stationed in Korea, but in the second movie it features those with similar powers from the Shanghai laboratory, alluding to the idea that these powers could possibly be in use worldwide.

In addition to its symbolic meaning, the image of a witch rocking on a chair can also add a touch of nostalgia and whimsy to Halloween decorations. It harkens back to a time when witches were seen as intriguing and mysterious creatures, rather than the scary and evil figures they are often portrayed as today.
The Witch Part 2: The Other One – Review
As a sequel to an article we published last school year, we’re back with another review on the second movie! The Witch Part 2: The Other One is a continuation of the movie The Witch Part 1: The Subversion . The film was released on June 15, 202 as a thriller action, and was directed by Park Hoon-jung. It’s currently the fifth highest-grossing Korean film of 2022. It features famous actors and actresses such as Shin Si-ah, Park Eun-bin, Lee Jong-suk, and others.
The Witch Part 2 is about a girl who wakes up in a secret laboratory as the only survivor. The girl meets Kyung-hee, who helps protect her from the gang that is after her. Only, when the gang finds her, they become overwhelmed by her unexpected powers, making us wonder, “Who is this mystery girl and why are the gangs after her?”
We highly recommend you watch the first movie and read our review on it too!

The Witch Part 2: The Other One focuses on a more international aspect of these laboratory experiments. In my honest opinion, the beginning of the movie is painfully slow (I fell asleep 30 minutes in). The main character is emotionless and overpowered, and most of the other countless characters had no depth, so watching was incredibly disengaging. The different languages felt forced, and the Mandarin pronunciation was… something. The real action happens approximately an hour and a half in, and since it’s night, you can’t really see anything. Everything happens so fast it’s a blur. At times, it felt like I was watching a scene from Twilight because the characters practically flew. Kim Da-mi’s short cameo at the end felt like the only real connection between the two movies. Overall, The Witch Part 2 may be okay as a standalone movie but fails to compare to the first. I personally didn’t like it, but if a third movie were to be released, I would probably watch it anyways.

Unlike the first movie which follows Goo Ja-yoon played by Kim Da-mi, The Witch Part 2 follows a different girl (played by Shin Si-ah) with similar powers as Goo Ja-yoon, only her name remains unknown to the watchers. Part 2 features an almost entirely different cast with a similar concept and story. While I’m not totally against a sequel featuring different cast members, unlike the characters in the first movie, the characters in the sequel lacked in personality; it felt like I was watching background characters, almost. Another interesting factor was that from the first movie, it could be concluded that these laboratories were stationed in Korea, but in the second movie it features those with similar powers from the Shanghai laboratory, alluding to the idea that these powers could possibly be in use worldwide. What I enjoyed about this movie was the interactions of the girl with Kyunghee and her brother as well as Goo Ja-yoon’s feature towards the end of the movie. What I didn’t like about the movie was the slow pacing. Despite it being around a 2 hour long movie, it really felt like more than 2 hours for me. There were scenes in the middle of the movie that I felt were almost unimportant and, honestly, I probably could’ve skipped because they were that irrelevant. Due to the way the story pans out, especially at the end of the movie, there could be a possibility for a Part 3 . Overall, the movie was good, but it wasn’t as great as the first movie.

Overall, the image of a witch rocking on a chair during Halloween serves as a reminder of the supernatural and magical nature of the holiday. It captures the essence of the witch as a powerful and enigmatic figure, while also adding a touch of charm and whimsy to the festivities. So this Halloween, don't forget to include a rocking witch in your decorations to help create an enchanting and bewitching atmosphere..

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Witch rocking on a chair during Halloween". The concept seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat. The witch's movements were slow and predictable, and it quickly became boring to watch. The rocking chair itself was flimsy and didn't add anything to the overall experience. I expected more from a Halloween attraction.

The witch hardly moved at all, and it felt more like a cheap prop than an actual interactive display. The whole experience lacked any excitement or scare factor.
