The Witch Pelicuka is a well-known character in Slavic folklore. According to the legends, she is an old and ugly witch who possesses magical powers and uses them to cause mischief and harm to people. The name "Pelicuka" is believed to be derived from the word "pelyushka," which means "little feather" in Russian. This is often attributed to her ability to transform into a small feather and hide in people's pillows, causing them nightmares. It is said that Pelicuka can also shape-shift into various forms, such as a black cat, a crow, or even a beautiful woman to deceive and manipulate others. She is known to live in the darkest and most remote areas of the forest, using herbs and potions to concoct spells and curses.

Reviews for "The portrayal of female power in 'The Witch Pelicuka"
1. John - 2 stars - "I had high expectations for 'The Witch', but I was deeply disappointed. The atmosphere was dull and the plot was confusing. The slow pace made it difficult to stay engaged, and I found myself losing interest halfway through. The characters lacked depth and their actions felt forced. Overall, I found this film to be a wasted opportunity."
2. Sarah - 1 star - "I cannot understand the hype surrounding 'The Witch'. The story was unoriginal and predictable, and the scares were few and far between. The use of old-fashioned language made it difficult to follow the dialogue, and I felt disconnected from the characters and their struggles. The ending was underwhelming and left me feeling unsatisfied. Definitely not worth the time or money."
3. Emma - 2 stars - "I was hoping for a terrifying horror film, but 'The Witch' fell flat. The slow pace and lack of jump scares made it more of a psychological thriller than a horror movie. The characters were unrelatable and the plot dragged on without any real payoff. The ending left me confused and unsatisfied. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone looking for a truly scary experience."
4. Michael - 1 star - "I don't understand why 'The Witch' received so much critical acclaim. The movie was slow, repetitive, and lacked any real scares. The religious themes felt forced and heavy-handed, and the dialogue was difficult to understand at times. The plot failed to captivate me, and the overall experience left me feeling bored and disappointed. Save your time and watch a different horror film."
