The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion

A nefarious agency has been genetically engineering a race of children with unique abilities. Under the cover of night, cold-blooded assassins descend to shut the program down and exterminate the kids. One telekinetic girl, Ja-yoon, escapes and goes into hiding, eventually finding refuge with a loving adopted family. Ten years later, Ja-yoon (now played by newcomer Kim Da-mi), who has no memory of her past, appears on a national talent show and lets her powers slip. Unfortunately, the high-school girl is spotted by the tenacious bad guys, who have been hunting her all this time. Within moments, Ja-yoon becomes prey for both her similarly gifted peers and a vicious hit squad (Choi Woo-sik). But she won't give up without a fight? (Fantasia International Film Festival)
