'Our sorrow was conceived long before our birth...'
When sisters Su-mi (Lim Soo-jeong) and Su-yeon (Mun Geun-yeong) return home from a sanitarium having supposedly recovered their health, their stepmother Eun-joo (Yum Jung-ah) welcomes them back. However, elder sister Su-mi intentionally avoids her and younger sibling Su-yeon shows a smack of fear for her.
Soon, strange things begin to happen in the house. Footsteps are heard and Eun-joo's birds are mysteriously poisoned. Assuming Su-yeon is behind the inauspicious incidents, the stepmother locks her in the closet, and when Su-mi learns about the cruel punishment, conflict between the stepmother and two sisters becomes more bitter than ever...
Based on the classic Korean folk tale 'Janghwa, Hongryeon', Kim Ji-woon's accomplished chiller is a uniquely lush addition to the best of Asian cinema.

It's a given in these, the golden years of the Hollywood remakes, that 'A Tale of Two Sisters', one of the finest horror films to emerge in recent times, will soon be remade with the Olsen twins.
Please see the original before that happens. Sinister, provocative and with a twist to put 'The Sixth Sense' to shame, it's better than 'Ringu' and 'Ju-On' combined.
The two lead girls are eerily convincing while the adults manage to look shocked and petrified as needs be.
The best thing about 'A Tale of Two Sisters' though is the fact that it doesn't go in for gore or shock tactics to keep us hiding behind the cushions. An excellent story which you haven't heard before, gritty direction and a cover that screams 'buy me' should be all the nudging that a film buff should require to purchase ATO2S.
Just one word of warning: you'll never look at that bedroom wardrobe in the same way again.
Beautifully Dark
