Sure there are elements of ethics that were involved in the first film, but the bulk of The Witch 2 is centered on ramping up the spectacle and pushing the gas pedal on making action set pieces grander than they were in the first season. With over two hours of story, uses every minute to build up atmosphere and characters that pays off in stellar displays of violence. While this sequel doesn’t reach the level of its predecessor it is still a thrilling watch. However, as the assassins tasked with locating and silencing the girl move ever closer, the lives of everyone balance on a razor’s edge. After a mysterious girl emerges as the sole survivor of a bloody raid on the research facility called the Ark behind the top-secret Witch Program, she is rescued by a pair of civilians, Siblings Kyung-hee (Park Eun-bin) and Dae-gi (Sung Yoo-bin), who soon realize the girl is both very powerful and in very grave danger. In this sequel to the popular Korean sci-fi action thriller The Witch, the story moves away from a confined secret lab and out into the real world. The Other One (The Witch 2) builds out the world that director Park created by increasing the number of superhumans and turning their powers up to 11. Now, from writer-director Park Hoon-jung, the sequel is here. It was packed with science fiction and action all while questing biomedical ethics and using extreme violence to not only shock, but tell its story. The Witch Part 1: Subversion was one of my favorite films of 2018.
