Much like Gareth Evans' THE RAID: REDEMPTION was given a subtitle that let us know there was going to be a sequel, the fact that director Hoon-jung Park's THE WITCH: SUBVERSION has shown up with a subtitle is also meant to imply that this film is the beginning of something larger. In fact, if all goes according to plan THE WITCH: SUBVERSION is the start of a trilogy.
A sci-fi action thriller, this film is said to be very violent, and that is quite evident in the trailer embedded above, which is packed with blood, bullets, and broken bones.
Starring Kim Da-mi and Choi Woo-shik, this South Korean production has the following synopsis:
10 years ago, Ja-yoon escaped from a secret government facility in the midst of an inexplicable incident. An old couple finds her alone near death in the woods and takes her in even though she has no memory of who she is or how she got there. She grows up to be a bright high school student and enters a nationally televised audition program to win the top prize and help her struggling family. But as soon as she appears on TV, strange people start appearing in her life and Ja-yoon falls into turmoil as her seemingly ordinary life turns upside down in a blink of an eye…
Well Go USA will be giving THE WITCH: SUBVERSION a home video release in North America on March 10th, so if you like what you see in the trailer you can pre-order a copy of the movie at THIS LINK.
