![]() ![]() And which one is her mother? I know there's this woman, the one Dr. Heck, I didn't even understand that she apparently is the same girl on the bus in the beginning. We don't really get too much information about this new girl. But I don't quite understand if this movie was necessary. It now seems clear that this is going to be at least a trilogy. ![]() And she also is taken in by two young adults (although these are brother and sister, not cousins). As in Elfenlied, mercenaries and hunting teams are after her. Also just like in Elfenlied, she has a very innocent and a very dark side. Just like in Elfenlied, we have a superhuman, superstrong girl who isn't all human and has telekinetic abilities. The story of "The Witch" really reminds me a lot of "Elfenlied". I was, but I'm still looking forward to the third and final movie. ![]() If you liked the first movie, you might be a little let down by this one. I kept asking myself "who are these people?" "Wait, why are these two people fighting?" "Why isn't she already butchering everyone?" What I really and truly hope for, is that now that this lore and origin story is out of the way, that the third movie will hit with a massive bang, and really justify the existence of the second movie. I think it was really just the overall script that held it back from capturing that same lightening in a bottle as the first movie. The acting, cinematography, etc, is all absolutely stunning from a visual standpoint. Too many little stories are crammed into the runtime of this movie, and I think that's where it inevitably fell short. If everyone is special, then no one is special. However, the movie seems keen on cramming in all these new characters with powers, and in the end it sort of invalidates the original girl's powers as a whole. Lots of over the top gore and anime style action. I could sit here and enumerate a dozen, if not more, reasons why this movie profoundly lacks the magic of the first one, but I find myself a little exhausted after being disappointed by it. ![]()
