The Witch: Subversion [Blu-ray]

The best Chinese action film I ever saw.

Basically a superhero movie without costumes. Echoes of Superman's origin, as a rural family takes in a child (here, a girl) who appears out of nowhere. Eventually a bunch of villains find out where she is and come after her. (Why it took them so long to find her is a major story weakness.) Some of the villains are really vile, and you want them to get what's coming to them. But by the time they do, you may actually feel a bit sorry for them, because the last thirty minutes or so of the movie change a lot of the things that had earlier been "established." By the time the girl cuts loose, she's downright scary. There is a lot of violence, blood, and gore in the movie, so be aware. But if you're okay with that, it's quite a ride.

This is a Korean film, and the Korean word being translated as "witch" appears to have different connotations than the English word. There are no pacts with the devil or flying on broomsticks or muttering of spells here!No, here we have the story of an 8-year-old girl who escapes confinement and gets herself adopted by an older couple. Then, 10 years later, when an excessively bouncy friend convinces her to take part in a talent contest, elevates a microphone on national TV.This, of course, re-activates the recovery operation by the bad guys. Two different teams, working against each other and her. By the end of the film, she has shown that she truly is on a level above everyone else -- normal humans, first-gen mutants, even the other 2nd-gen mutants.Lots of action, in several different places with various opponents.

Arrived on time and in great condition. The movie is not dubbed so you will have to read subtitles if this is not thing the movie is easy to follow with a lot of action

A horror movie with superhero action, better than Doctor strange 2. Which tried to blend the two and underperformed. While in the witch it thrives, gory violence, eye popping special effects. That puts American movies to shame. The madness in this film lives up to the carnage.

I tripped across this in searching for other films. I am exceptionally pleased that I did. The only references I have that would apply are Blood+, Lucy, and Elfen Lied. I absolutely loved the twists in the storyline and the action sequences throughout. The blood and gore are well treated and not so much that it takes away from the seriousness of the scenes. Simply put, I love this film and it it going on my list of favorite action films.

Great movie love it. The actors were awesome

Great movie
