Speaking as a viewer who consumes way too much North American entertainment, The Witch Part 1 – The Subversion has similar tropes of a Hollywood superhero movie. The mass killing of the children at the top of the film reminds me of government targeting mutant children in the X-Men series. As the title suggests, this is only part one of the franchise, though I can’t imagine what more they can do with it, since everything seemed to wrap up in the end. Maybe if I had stayed in the theater long enough, I might have caught a post-credit scene that would clue me into the sequel. It’s highly unlikely though, Korean filmmakers are bit more original than that.
A special shout-out is also in order for Ko Min-shi as the loudmouth best friend Myung-hee , who had the audience in stitches with her quirky antics. A special shout-out is also in order for Ko Min-shi as the loudmouth best friend Myung-hee , who had the audience in stitches with her quirky antics.

One of the highlights of the lounge is the close-up magic, where the magicians perform right in front of the guests.
'The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion': Macao Review
When Ja-yoon (Kim Da-Mi) escaped from a top secret government facility as an eight-year-old, she left behind a trail of bodies, an ankle-deep river of blood and all of her memories of the life which came before. Ten years later, she’s living as a normal, if unusually gifted teenager in a rural backwater. But when she appears on a televised talent show, it’s not just her perfect pitch which attracts attention. And soon, Ja-yoon finds herself pursued by figures from a past she no longer recalls. This YA spin on a Korean revenge movie suffers from a few pacing issues, and leans a little too heavily on exposition, but the action sequences are as thrilling as they are face-crunchingly visceral. And 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.
The brutalist corridors and clinical minimalism provides an ideal backdrop for the exuberantly gymnastic violence
As the title suggests, this is the first instalment of a proposed trilogy, and it would seem that Warner Bros, Korea have a potentially lucrative property on their hands; certainly within the East Asian region. Whether it can cross over to Western audiences, however, remains to be seen. This picture shares some narrative beats with dystopian adolescent series like Maze Runner, but is frequently more interested in cleavering chunks out of its peripheral characters than it is in developing them into fully rounded support. That said the film, with its female protagonist who can combine acts of extreme violence with a demeanour of adorable cuteness, could connect with a modern arthouse audience.
The film is written and directed by Park Hoon-jung, who started out as the screenwriter of films such as Kim Jee-woon’s I Saw The Devil and Ryoo Seung-wan’s The Unjust and whose directorial outings include the Korean box office success New World and the award-winning The Tiger. Park’s gung-ho approach to action sequences is given plenty of scope in this film, which bears more than a passing resemblance to Joe Wright’s Hanna.
It’s a visually striking piece. The aesthetic of the second half of the picture is a kind of industrial futurism – concrete-lined bunkers feature heavily – which contrasts with the folksy simplicity of Ja-yoon’s life with her elderly adoptive parents. The brutalist corridors and clinical minimalism, graded to accentuate a cyber-blue artificiality, provides an ideal backdrop for the exuberantly gymnastic violence which is the film’s main selling point.
It’s also an effective showcase for a star making central performance – unlike much of the rest of the film, which has a tendency to over-elucidate – Kim Da-mi maintains a mercurial unknowability. She’s a teasing question mark in a film which occasionally trips over itself to deliver answers. Also great fun is Choi Woo-shik (previously seen in Okja), putting so much luxuriant cruelty into the role of Gong-ja, a contemporary from Ja-yoon’s past, that the film’s energy dips markedly every time he’s off screen
Matching him in for lavish evil is Professor Baek (Cho Min-soon, a dual role), the genius creator and potential destroyer of Ja-Yoon and the children she grew up with for her turbulent first eight years. Baek is a twisted mother figure, who can’t conceal a swell of pride in her little monsters, even as they turn upon her.

The Witch Part 1 – The Subversion opens with a bloodbath. A team of mercenaries have slaughtered an entire hospital ward of children, except for an eight-year old girl who manages to escape into the dark woods. Professor Baek, the woman overseeing the mass extermination, tells her death squad to let her go as she’ll most likely die in the woods. The next morning, a cattle farmer discovers the young girl, collapsed and covered in blood. He brings her into his house and calls the doctor, who says that she’ll live, though she’ll probably have no memory of the incident. The farmer and his wife decide to adopt the girl and call her Koo Ja-yoon.

Reviews for "Experience the Magic of The Prestige Magic Lounge Like Never Before"
1. Mary - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really excited to visit The Lrestige Magic Lounge after hearing so much about it, but I left feeling disappointed and underwhelmed. The performances were lackluster and didn't live up to the hype. The magicians seemed bored and unenthusiastic, which made the whole experience feel dull. I expected to be wowed and amazed, but instead, I found myself checking my watch and counting down the minutes until the show was over. Overall, I wouldn't recommend The Lrestige Magic Lounge if you're looking for a captivating and exciting magic experience.
2. John - 1 out of 5 stars - The Lrestige Magic Lounge was a complete letdown. The tricks were predictable, and the magicians lacked any sort of charisma or showmanship. The venue itself was cramped and uncomfortable, making it difficult to fully enjoy the performances. I felt like I had wasted my money and would have been better off watching a magic show on TV. Save your time and money and skip The Lrestige Magic Lounge if you're looking for a memorable and entertaining magic experience.
3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - The Lrestige Magic Lounge promised a night of wonder and intrigue, but it fell short on both accounts. The tricks were basic and easily forgettable, lacking the wow-factor I was anticipating. The atmosphere of the lounge was also lacking, with dim lighting and worn-out seating. It left me feeling unengaged and unimpressed. I wouldn't recommend The Lrestige Magic Lounge if you're seeking a truly magical experience.
