The Witch: Part 2. The Other One (2022)

Written by MovieGuys on August 24, 2022

The first film in this series was excellent but I can only describe part two as "painfully dull".

Character development is fine but it should not take up two thirds of what is essentially an action film. Regrettably, that's exactly what you get.

Worse still, there are so many side characters and sub plots, it quickly becomes a confusing mess. You really have little idea what is going on, why and who half these largely redundant, side characters are.

This films only saving grace is reasonable acting. That said, so much else simply doesn't work, that means little in the scheme of things.

All in all, an awful sequel to a vastly superior original film. Its weighed down by a lack of pace, bland, uninspired storytelling and an over emphasis on side plots and characters that add little to nothing, to the tale.
