The Witch Part 1: The Subversion is a 2018 South Korean mystery action film directed by Park Hoon-Jung and stars Kim Da Mi, Jo Min Soo, and Choi Woo Shik❤.
A young girl is found by an old couple and raised in a small farming town. Their simple life is turned upside down when a group of dangerous and mysterious people come to find her and take her back to a government facility where she escaped from ten years ago.
This is one of those movies where you're sitting there biting your nails and wondering what's going to happen next. There is a big secret surrounding the main character Koo Ja-Yoon. Who is she and why does she have powers that her adoptive parents are apprehensive about her showing? I'm usually good at figuring out what is going to happen next in a movie since I've seen so many and they usually fit certain patterns, but this one has a good twist!

The Wailing (2016)
Description:
The Wailing is a 2016 Korean horror movie. It stars Do-won Kwak and Jung-min Hwang. It's directed by Hong-jin Na who also directed The Chaser (2008), which was more unsettling than this movie.
A police officer named Jong-goo is thrown into a battle with demons when his daughter and others in their village become possessed.
Review:
This movie was like riding a rollercoaster of emotions. I was frightened for the first ten minutes, bored during the second act and creeped out at the end.
The film starts with gruesome murders and a bumbling police officer who reminds me of Shaun from Shaun of the Dead. Both have to fight against zombie-like people and have no idea what they are doing. The Wailing has some funny lines but is mostly serious.
It is definitely not slow paced. There is a lot going on and sometimes random things happen such as a man getting struck by lightning, a car crash and a man vomiting copious amounts of blood. It has a great start, but the second act involves over-the-top acting that made me sit there going,
"Please stop screaming. I know you're possessed but please stop."
Another problem I had was having to watch goats, chickens and a dog die. I lose sympathy for main characters when they kill animals.
I did like that the characters seemed like real people. I could believe that the police officer wanted to save his daughter and some scenes near the end were truly frightening.
In the end, this movie is worth a watch. I won't be watching it again, but I'm thankful that Hong-jin Na continues to direct intense films. I'm excited to see what he creates in the future. I understand why people like the film, but this wasn't my favorite movie.
