The Witch Without A Twist

I am a fan of the The Witch Pt. 1 so I have been waiting the sequel for years. I am happy I finally had a chance to watch it on big screen! I followed the production journey and as the team had a copyright issue with their previous film distributor ( Warner Bros. Korea ), they had to butcher up their original The Witch stories with Jayoon as main character. Hence why I lowered my expectation for this part 2.

First of all, story wise. They basically have almost showed everything in the trailer except the ending. It is those common stories of lab victim run away, find good ally, enemies catch them, but they win after their loved one got hurt. The acting wasn't my taste, instead of embracing the characters personalities- some of their acting feels staged to me. They tried so hard to look cool. There are english dialogue in it, but it sounds so awkward. I'm sorry I am not really familiar with chinese language so I couldnt judge it. Positive side, I like a lot how they open the story and I didn't expect them to start it like that. The unique "countrified" vibe is shown again in it. The opening and the ending would be a main key for the whole franchise. Please stay until after credit, because they show post credit scenes like those marvel movies!

They casted a ton of people for side characters and cameos but they are all like a copy to each other. I was thinking "Is it on purpose they look similiar as it is a cloning stories?". I also feel like there are quite a lot unnecessary scenes, with the jokes and comedic-like scenes. I wish them to show more the bonding between "The Girl" and Kyung Hee-Dae Gil sibling. That is what I have been waiting as I read the director explaining the differences between her and previous witch, Jayoon.

I have to be honest, I am kinda disappointed with the characters building for the new witch. The director went with repeated heroine route we could find in those human experiment stories. Emotionless, no personality ( yet ), fascinated to outside world like a baby bird, and once again overpowered. But after watching, I do feel curious how he would come up with the next part and how he build her character in the future. "The Girl" is still like a white paper to me.

Action Sequences. There are quite a lot of cool awesome battle scenes and it still has that anime-like battle touch in it. They definitely improved it with their big budget. There is one fight with beautiful billboard lighting, and that is my favorite one. Unfortunately, if you are a slow watcher, you would be troubled with pt 2 fighting style because all the characters are so powerful and their fighting is so fast- blip blip - shoot - blip - slash neck - that is my description. Warning, the rating is 18+ so the killing wound part is quite explicit.

Overall, I gave it a 7.5. I think new audiences would enjoy it so much, but the previous part 1 fans like me- would be in love and hate relationship with the sequel.

Established in February 2012 in Hamamatsu City, founded by Kaoru Yamagishi. BUNGUBOX’s mission is to celebrate “writing” with future generations through “tell, spread, and preserve”. BUNGUBOX focuses on writing instruments, especially fountain pens. Writing brings out each person’s personality and feelings, and depending on various situations, a particular ink color can convey more stories and it is indispensable for writing with a fountain pen.

Sailor was founded in 1911. The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. He was inspired and determined to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan -- first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.

In the 1970's, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, "Candy," that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.

In 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their "Candy" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.

The 1911 offers a great balance and a smooth writing experience. The pen writes with a slight but satisfying feedback and it fits perfectly in the hand.

The Witch Part 2: The Other One (2022)

Director/Screenplay – Park Hoon-jung, Photography – Kim Young-ho, Music – Mowg. Production Company – New Movie.

Cast

Shin Si-ah (The Girl), Park Eun-bin (Kyung-he), Sung Yoo-bin (Dae-gil), Seo Eun-soo (Jo-hyeon), Jin Goo (Yong-doo), Justin John Harvey (Jo-hyeon’s associate), Lee Jong-suk (Jang), Jo Min-su (Dr Baek), Kim Da-me (Koo Ja-yoon)

Plot

Several years ago, a pregnant teenage girl was abducted from a school bus and taken to a laboratory, while it was made to look that the other schoolchildren in the bus died in an accident. In the present-day, a girl escapes from the laboratory in a bloody massacre. She is found wandering in the woods by Kyung-he who takes her back home to her farm. The girl’s unworldly naiveté is of fascination to Kyung-he’s teenage brother Dae-gil who gets ideas about promoting the girl as a YouTube star. The local gangster Yong-doo comes to threaten Kyung-he but the girl manifests psychic powers and drives Yong-doo and his men away. Meanwhile, hired killers have been despatched to recapture the girl. They, along with killers from a rival Chinese group and Yong-doo’s heavies all converge on the farm.

The Witch: Part 1 – Subversion (2018) was a South Korean venture into psychic powers themes. A directorial effort from Park Hoon-jung, usually known for his gangster and historical films, it proved a reasonable success, while ambitiously announcing that it was the first of the series. The Witch Part 2: The Other One is the sequel, while a third film is also implied in the ending.

The first The Witch film came as part of a rise in films about Psychic Powers that have emerged from South Korean Cinema in the late 2010s/early 2020s. Around the same time, we have also seen Psychokinesis (2018) and Seobok (2021), both of which are fine films. Although by the time that The Other One arrives, these start to blur into a certain sameness – The Witch films and these other two all climax with the empowered hero/heroine of the particular film unleashing a psychic conflagration against the pursuing heavies.

The prologue tells us about the school bus that is diverted, the pupils gassed and one of the students abducted. As later becomes apparent, the teenager is pregnant with twins – one of which will be Kim Da-me from the first film and the other this film’s unnamed heroine Shin Si-ah. Kim Da-me makes a return appearance at the very end and we get to meet their mother with things clearly set up for a third film where presumably all parties will come together.

Shin Si-ah as The Girl

The Other One is often a confusing watch. I am not sure if this is a result of the subtitles or not – the version I was watching had subtitles for the sections where the hitwoman (Seo Eun-soo) and her South African associate (Justin John Harvey) speak English, where the subtitling was notedly at variance from the words that you could hear being said by the characters. That said, we have a plot that is not so much complicated as it is a fairly simple one but where it is not at all clear who the different parties running around after the girl are –often at times, it feels like we are in the midst of another of Park Hoon-jung’s Korean gangster films rather than a psychic powers film. The hitmen and others display super-powers – they conduct power punches, take massive leaps through the air, display regeneration ability – but there is no explanation of who they are and why they have powers.

Often much of The Other One feels as though it is composed from the clichés of the Psychic Powers genre:- the pursuing heavies (who are usually government agents); the persecuted psychic child/teen/unworldwise innocent with incredible power. The film also recycles the basic plot from the first The Witch – girl escapes from a research facility, seeks refuge on a farm, before everything ends in a psychic conflagration. The last two-thirds of this film feel as though Park Hoon-jung has taken the farmhouse siege scenes from Firestarter (1984) and expanded them to feature-length. There is some amusement in the Outsider scenes with an innocent Shin Si-ah wandering through a supermarket and trying to understand aspects of the everyday world.

Park Hoon-jung delivers some impressive set-pieces with Shin Si-ah battering thugs around and levitating shards of fence post to attack en masse, tossing vehicles across the farmyard, crushing a baseball bat in her hand and the like. There’s a cute sequence with she and Sung Yoo-bin on the roof as she levitates all loose objects around the farmyard up into the air behind him without him noticing. Park brings it all together for an extended super-powered climax with various of the assassins fighting one another and then Shin Si-ah eliminating fairly much everyone around her.

Eggers is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to create a sense of dread and unease. The sequel is rumored to take place several years after the events of the first film and will follow a new set of characters who are also caught in the midst of witchcraft and supernatural occurrences. The plot details are being kept under wraps, but fans of the original film are excited to see what horrors await them in the new installment.

The Witch 2022 is expected to feature stunning cinematography, atmospheric music, and exceptional performances. The original film was praised for its immersive visual style and the way it captured the fear and paranoia of its characters. It is likely that the sequel will continue to deliver on these aspects and provide audiences with a truly terrifying experience. The witch has become a popular trope in horror movies, often symbolizing the dark, primal forces that exist in the world. The original film explored the horrors of colonialism and religious fervor, and it will be interesting to see what themes the sequel will tackle. Overall, The Witch 2022 has generated a lot of excitement among horror fans. With its talented director, compelling storytelling, and chilling atmosphere, it is sure to be a memorable and terrifying experience. Fans of the original film are counting down the days until its release, eager to be transported into the dark world of witches once again..

Reviews for "The Cinematic Influences Behind 'The Witch 2022"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The Witch 2022". The plot was all over the place and it lacked any real suspense or scares. The acting was also subpar, with the performances feeling forced and unnatural. I was really hoping for a good horror film, but this just fell flat for me.

2. Sarah - 1 star - I cannot express how much I disliked "The Witch 2022". The story was confusing and convoluted, and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. The pacing was also incredibly slow, making the already boring plot even more unbearable to sit through. Overall, it was a complete waste of my time and I regretted watching it.

3. Mark - 2 stars - I had high expectations for "The Witch 2022" but unfortunately, it failed to meet them. The film lacked originality and felt like a mix of various horror movie clichés. The scares were predictable and there were no real surprises. The cinematography and visuals were the only redeeming qualities, but even they couldn't salvage the weak plot and uninteresting characters.

4. Emily - 1 star - "The Witch 2022" was an absolute disaster. The storyline was confusing and didn't make sense, leaving me with more questions than answers. The acting was mediocre at best, with most performances feeling wooden and unconvincing. The film also dragged on for what felt like an eternity, with no payoff or satisfaction at the end. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this one.
