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 solely centred around making the hair on the back of your neck stick up like a lot of Japanese horror films. The plot is complicated but gripping. Im Soo Jung, Moon Geun Young and Yeom Jeong-ah each do very well in their roles as the sisters and stepmother.
One to watch especially if you're a fan of the horror genre.
