The witch's spell was cast under the pale moonlight, as she chanted ancient incantations passed down through generations. Her eyes glowed with a mysterious power as she concocted a potent brew of herbs and potions. The flames danced in the cauldron, reflecting the shadows on the dark walls of her mystical cottage. The intentions of the witch were known only to her, as she weaved her magic in secrecy. Her spells had the power to heal, protect, or bring chaos, and she wielded this power with care. Her long years of studying the arts of witchcraft had made her a master in harnessing the forces of nature.
Intrigante ma prolisso connubio tra sci-fi, action e horror, girato in maniera professionale, discretamente congegnato e in grado di assestare un paio di colpi di scena inaspettati.
Il "Part 1" nel titolo lasciava supporre un prosieguo, ma ad oggi nessuna notizia a riguardo.
Dieci anni dopo, ormai studentessa all ultimo anno del liceo, acconsente malauguratamente a partecipare ad un talent show in città, ove mette in mostra non solo le sue qualità canore, ma anche qualche trucchetto di magia da quel momento, ahilei, si troverà ad avere a che fare con il suo passato. Una bimba, dopo una carneficina, fugge tra i boschi dalla prigione laboratorio nella quale era rinchiusa e viene accolta da una coppia di modesti allevatori, che la adottano amorevolmente.
Her long years of studying the arts of witchcraft had made her a master in harnessing the forces of nature. Each spell she cast required utmost concentration and precision. She invoked the spirits of the elements and called upon the unseen forces of the universe to assist her in her magic.
마녀 The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion
Una bimba, dopo una carneficina, fugge tra i boschi dalla prigione/laboratorio nella quale era rinchiusa e viene accolta da una coppia di modesti allevatori, che la adottano amorevolmente. Dieci anni dopo, ormai studentessa all'ultimo anno del liceo, acconsente malauguratamente a partecipare ad un talent show in città, ove mette in mostra non solo le sue qualità canore, ma anche qualche trucchetto di "magia": da quel momento, ahilei, si troverà ad avere a che fare con il suo passato.

Interesting (to a point) Korean thriller with sci-fi/horror overtones. Our story begins by showing some horrific death & destruction of children in some unknown facility. As people begin the gathering of the bodies, one foot twitches & someone is instructed to "shoot them in the head". Do we have zombies rising up? No, nothing like that. Worse, perhaps. It seems that one girl, possibly the one responsible for the destruction, has escaped, and it is thought she won't survive the night, but she collapses on a farmer's land & he takes her in, and he & his wife raise her like a daughter. Fast forward to age 19, and at the pressure of her friend Myung-Hee, Ja-Yoon auditions for a TV talent show & is chosen, sings, and also exhibits one of her other talents and exposes herself to those who have been seeking her for years, and then strange people start to show up around town & where she lives. And eventually, things get rather nasty as they close in on her.
This is an odd mix of kind of a coming of age film, science fiction, and (for all the gore) horror. Unfortunately, despite the great visuals & settings, it also manages to drag some & I found myself nodding a bit toward the end. It's not bad, it just didn't have enough substance to keep me riveted to the screen.

Her words resonated with power as she recited ancient languages long forgotten by others. With a final wave of her hand, the witch completed her spell. The energy in the room shifted, and a sense of enchantment filled the air. The outcome of her magic would soon be revealed, as it worked its way through the fabric of reality. Spells cast by witches like her were not to be taken lightly. They had the power to alter destinies, change lives, and shape the course of events. Some sought her out for her healing abilities, while others feared her dark arts. But the witch understood the delicate balance between light and dark and used her powers responsibly. As the witch's spell settled into the world, its effects began to manifest. Lives were changed, destinies were shifted, and the unimaginable became reality. The power of her magic was tangible, even to those who did not possess such abilities. The witch's spell served as a reminder of the mysteries that exist beyond our comprehension. It hinted at a world filled with ancient wisdom and extraordinary powers. And while she was often feared and misunderstood, the witch continued to cast her spells, embracing her role as a conduit between the realms of the natural and supernatural. In the end, the witch's spell left a mark on those it touched. Whether it brought blessings or curses, it reminded those who witnessed its effects of the immense power that lies within the realm of the unknown. The fragile balance between the seen and unseen, the light and dark, was delicately maintained by the witches who dared to cast their spells..

I was really disappointed with "The Witch Korean Cast". The storyline was confusing and hard to follow. It felt like the film was trying to be too many genres at once, from horror to romance to fantasy. The acting was also subpar, with lackluster performances that failed to engage me as a viewer. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone looking for a cohesive and well-executed story.

While "The Witch Korean Cast" had its flaws, I still found some aspects of the film enjoyable. The visuals and set designs were impressive, creating a visually stunning world.
