Check out the official U.S. trailer for "The Witch: Subversion," a Korean action horror movie that stars newcomer Kim Da-mi and "Parasite" actor Choi Woo-shik.

The Korean-language thriller, which was released in South Korea back in 2018, is getting a U.S. release next month through Well Go USA Entertainment.

Supposedly the first of a planned trilogy, the film centers on a young orphaned Korean woman whose life is upended when her past comes back to haunt her.

After appearing in a nationally televised talent show, high school student Ja-yoon (played by Kim Da-mi) discovers that she has a very dark past, involving a top-secret government experiment program. This, of course, comes to the surprise of her adoptive parents who had found her alone in the woods and near-death a decade ago.

The film is written and directed by Hoon-jung Park, who is the writer of the hit Korean horror-thriller "I Saw the Devil" and the writer-director of the Korean hits "New World" and "The Tiger."

"The Witch: Subversion" is being released on Blu-ray and Digital on March 10th. Watch the trailer, above.

synopsis:
10 years ago, Ja-yoon escaped from a secret government facility in the midst of an inexplicable incident. An old couple finds her alone near death in the woods and takes her in even though she has no memory of who she is or how she got there. She grows up to be a bright high school student and enters a nationally televised audition program to win the top prize and help her struggling family. But as soon as she appears on TV, strange people start appearing in her life and Ja-yoon falls into turmoil as her seemingly ordinary life turns upside down in a blink of an eye...
