mental hospital. When they are released, they are greeted by their father and taken home. Once there, it becomes obvious that this isn't the wholesome family unit that the girls' new step mother wishes it was.On their first night home disturbing and seemingly unexplainable events - footsteps on the stairs, doors opening of their own accord - begin to occur, and strange hallucinations plague the family. It soon becomes impossible to tell whether it is the sisters' unstable mental health, the cruel mind games played by the step mother, or the dark presence of a supernatural force which is at work within the house.Stylish and shocking, this visually arresting tale of family secrets and uncertain realities is based on a traditional Korean folk tale. Guaranteed to have you gasping for breath with each successive scare, you'll be kept guessing until the very end of this unique and brilliant film.
Advantages: The acting and emotions show by the two sister is remarkable Disadvantages: Obviously not for children view as it includes some hair raising scenes too.

This movie is one those movies which though being a horror movie, its not amongst those type having the special effects and the special make up like the ones in all time favourite EXORCIST.Its probably one of the best Korean movies ever made .The movie really involves you into the story and demands you to think about it personally as how the story will unfold.I personally found it irresistible to change the channels between the commercials when I saw this movie. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The story --------------------------------------------------------------------- The movie revolves around two different characters of which one is an introvert or rather reserved not outgoing while other is a fearless outgoing personality.Their mother suffers from cancer and so perhaps so depressed that when she knew about her husband`s and the nurse`s affair she committed suicide.Su-Mi discovers the dead body and tries to help her.But her sister Su-Yeon dies of suffocation and getting crushed.Due to the aftermath Su-Mi suffers a nervous breakdown and is sent to a mental hospital.

Advantages: Sustained terror throughout Disadvantages: Which may not be to everyone's taste
The feeling you get when Janet Leigh takes a shower or Jack Nicholson enters a hotel bathroom, how long do you think a film can sustain that feeling of gut wrenching suspense?
In the case of ?A Tale of TwoSisters? the answer is well over an hour and hence it gains the moniker of ?the most terrifying film I have ever seen?. An impressive claim which I will struggle to justify on paper (particularly without ruining the scares) but if I persuade only one of you to sit and enjoy this macabre masterpiece in a darkened room without the comfort of the pause button it will be worth the effort.
The film tells the story of twosisters (unsurprisingly) Soo-mi (Lim Su-jeong) and Soo-yeon (Mun Geun-yeong) who return to their family home after time away convalescing due to an unspecified illness. Their family consists of their mild mannered ...
Advantages: Good acting, substance over gore Disadvantages: None
A Tale of TwoSisters 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 TwoSisters is not a blood bath like a lot of Hollywood and European horror films nor is it ...
Advantages: One of the scariest films I have ever seen Disadvantages: Too complicated to understand, inconsistent.
Do you like horror movies?
Do you enjoy Korean films?
Are you not scared (yet) at the idea of looking under your kitchen sink?
Then, A Tale of TwoSisters is for you!
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 twosisters (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.
The film is Certificate 15.
It was directed in 2002 by Korean director par Kim Jee-Woon.
The older sister is played by Im Soo-Jung. I think she fits the role perfectly. The younger sister is ...
Two sisters return home, after spending some time in a mental institution, to their father and cruel stepmother. As well as having to cope with their unbalanced stepmother, an unwelcome ghost affects their health.
