An unusually faithful cinematic adaptation of Dickens' timeless classic. This sensitive film succeeds in portraying not only vast social upheaval, but also the personal and... more...individual consequences of such change.
Production Year: 1999 - Family - Director: Rob Minkoff - Original Language: English - Classification: Universal - Starring: Hugh Laurie, Geena Davis, Michael J. Fox, Nathan Lane, Chazz Palminteri

A Tale of Two Sisters is based on a korean folktale known as Janghwa Hongreyon-jon. The director, Kim Ji-woon, initially became known outside of Korean cinema due to this film which was the first Korean horror film to be screened in American theatres. Since this he has directed two more films, both of which have been well received.
We meet a fairly unresponsive Su-mi at a session with a psychiatrist and subsequently discover she is living with her sister (Su-yeong), father and stepmother. Throughout the film there are a variety of incidents which call into question the treatment of the girls by their stepmother but due to the uncertainty of these incidents the audience is unsure of what is real until the end of the film nears.
A Tale of Two Sisters is not a blood bath like a lot of Hollywood and European horror films nor is it ...
Advantages: Completely original music, catchy songs Disadvantages: Can't think of any!!
A sound all of its own, Mr Hudson and The Library are musicians who have created a unique album, both in sound and subject. Musically, the pop-blues mix works with a steel drum, keyboard, guitar, drums and different voices.
Having seen Mr Hudson and The Library live for the first time supporting Amy Winehouse, we were exposed to their sound, and it was impressive. Music you could move too, tunes you remembered and lyrics which made you smile. We immediately bought the CD, recommending it to everyone we knew. '2x2' and 'Brave the Cold' two of my favourite songs on the album. A wonderful compilation of real music, a rare talent these days. If you appreciate original writing, real musicians and content in your music you will definitely enjoy this album. Download for samples and check their website, great fun. ...
Advantages: One of the scariest films I have ever seen Disadvantages: Too complicated to understand, inconsistent.

The story
***********************************************
I don't want to get into too much detail, as I believe that horror films are far scarier when one doesn't know the story.
In a few words, Su-Mi and Su-Yeon are two sisters (no kidding!), who return to their family home to live with their dad, Mu-Hyun, and his new wife Iun Joo. From the first moments, tensions build up between Su-Mi and her step mum, as a series of strange events is about to occur.
