When a sinister research agency decides to eliminate its creation—a group of genetically engineered children with unusual skills—a telekinetic eight-year-old girl manages to escape. Found nearly dead, miles away by an older couple on their farm, the young girl, Ja-Yoon, is soon adopted into a new life where she’s able to hide from those who continue to search for her. Flash forward to Ja-Yoon as a young woman, with no memory of her past, as she enters a television talent contest in order to win money for her parents’ farm. But with her winnings comes an end to her anonymity, and the hunt is on once again as the agency sends out a group of Ja-Yoon’s altered and powerful peers to bring her back to the woman who created her. Has she lost her telekinetic abilities along with her memory, or will Ja-Yoon unleash those powers in time to defeat those responsible for making her this way? Suspenseful, violent, and oddly moving, THE WITCH: PART 1. THE SUBVERSION is a sci-fi thriller that twists and turns in shocking ways, leading up to an incredibly wild and gory climax. (In English and Korean with subtitles) —C.R.
