Finally watched this. Been hearing buzz about it for years. It’s not a horror. It’s sanguineous ultravi, your kinda thing. Tonight it popped out of my ample queue as the flick to watch as the night turned to Halloween.
It’s a slow burn. 2 hours but 2 hours of good tension, with some hypnotic cinematography and some intense characters. The lead gal, Kim Da-mi, is amazing. Her transition from victim to antihero? Villain? Whatev she becomes it’s awesome. And when that final action sequence, it’s sanguineousness Maximus. Cool choreo, speed up to great effect, like superhero fights where people get thrown thrown walls. I get what all the buzz was about.
I concur. It is done well. When the action hits, it’s like being in a different movie, a payout in full of the built up tension. It was viscerally purgative.
The sequel came out in 2020 - The Witch : The Other One. I think it’s on Hoopla too, which is where I watched this. I’ll watch it too and review it here afterwards.
D00M recommended.
