	A Tale of Two Sisters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Tale of Two Sisters (장화, 홍련 Janghwa, Hongryeon) is a 2003 South Korean psychological horror film.
		Two girls, Su-mi and the younger Su-yeon, step out of the car and go off to play while their father walks into the house.
		The narrative is further confused because Su-mi hallucinates the presence of the stepmother and sometimes imagines that she is the stepmother, in a plot device similar to one used in Fight Club.

		The movie opens with two young sisters returning to their rural Korean abode after an absence whose nature is not at all delineated clearly.
		The pair appear to have an unusually close relationship, with the older sister fiercely guarding her seemingly hapless younger sibling from any potential harm.

	Movie Review - Tale of Two Sisters, A - Hollywood Bitchslap (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		"A Tale Of Two Sisters", hailing from South Korea, is about two very very spooked sisters, and is simply so creepy, so beautifully well made and so cryptic that it deserves to become a cult classic...and probably never will.
		I had so much fun with "A Tale of Two Sisters" from its delightful creepy moments, to the horrific performances of the leads, right down to the atmospheric production design, which stands on a world of its own.
		The setup involves two ailing sisters (Im Soo-Jung and Moon Geun-Young) returning from the hospital to their country home, only to be greeted by her eccentric stepmother Eunjoo (played by the lovely Yeomg Jeong-A, whose right eye always seems to be obscured by her hair).

	2006 Philadelphia Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A disquietingly eerie haunted house story, A Tale of Two Sisters is also a feast for the senses, offering one of the most gorgeously designed and photographed genre films in recent years (one critic speculated that it may be the most beautiful Korean film ever made).
		Two sisters -- the older, more forceful Sui-mi and her younger, timid sibling Su-yeon -- return home after an unexplained absence.
		After the mother’s death, the father has remarried, and relations between the new stepmother and the two sisters are tense; Sui-mi believes that this new parent is abusive towards Su-yeon.

	A Tale of Two Sisters
		Two Sisters tells the story of Su-mi (Im Soo-jung) and Su-yeon(Moon Geun-young), Korean sisters taken by their well-to-do father (Kim Kab-su) to live in a spacious country house with their youthful - but cold - stepmother (Yeom Jeong-a).
		Confusing or not, Two Sisters is beautifully shot, admirably acted, and sparing in its use of in-your-face imagery (preferring to scare viewers the old-fashioned way - by letting their own minds conjure up the terror).
		Two Sisters is an exotic puzzle sure to please cinephiles who prefer thoughtful, artful horror to the adolescent gore that dominates American films.

		Whatever the case, "A Tale of Two Sisters" is far more expert in the tools that it works with than the typically bloated Hollywood horror film.
		For the better part of two decades, Japan and South Korea were seen as embodying all of the traditional values of middle-class life.

		Moon Geun-young as the younger sister is appropriately sweet and frail, in stark contrast to Yeom Jeong-ah's suitably two-faced and malicious stepmother.
		Kim's knowledge of the horror genre is made apparent not only by the parallels between A Tale of Two Sisters and Western fare such as The Others and The Sixth Sense, but also in some clear visual references to Audition and Ringu, perhaps as an acknowledgment of the competition.
		A Tale of Two Sisters is a film that features an uneasy atmosphere, some chilling moments, and a subtle eroticism in its telling of a surprisingly sad and touching story.

		A worldwide hit upon its release and based on an old Korean fairy tale; two sisters (wonderfully played by Su-jeong Lim and Geun-yeong Mun) come to live with their cold and distant father and turn-on-a-dime stepmother in a house where nothing is as it seems.
		Equal parts drama, mystery, and ghost story, A Tale of Two Sisters is a richly complex and challenging cinematic treat that may very well demand repeat viewings.

	BUZZSCOPE :: A Tale of Two Sisters
		What I really enjoyed about “Two Sisters” is the fact that you have absolutely no clue what is going to happen next; I watch a lot of movies and there is nothing I hate more than a movie that is TOO easy to predict.
		A Tale of Two Sisters really made me appreciate what the film industry has to do to get the seats filled at the theater.
		Two Sisters has been out for awhile in Korea, but it will be releasing tomorrow at select theaters in the U.S. I am willing to bet that there will be a lot of people out there that will learn to appreciate foreign films.

		Flash either back or forward to the arrival of two teenaged sisters, sullen but assertive Su-mi (Su-jeong Lim) and shy Su-yuen (Geun-young Mun), at the home of their distant father (Kan-su Kim) and somewhat manic, control-freak stepmother Eun-joo (Jung-ah Yum).
		Is she crazy, or is it her sister — or is it Eun-joo — or is everyone reacting to what seems to be at least one very creepy ghost on the premises?
		TALE is one of those rare horror films where the explanation, rather than providing pat answers, renders what we’re watching still more compelling and disturbing.

	Janghwa, Hongryeon: A Tale of Two Sisters
		Whether it is a psychological horror tale, a ghost story, or both — or something altogether different — depends on your particular response to the film.
		The younger sister is plainly terrified of the stepmother, while the elder treats her with cold contempt.
		Su-yeon hears footsteps approaching her room, and sees a hand opening her door; when she runs to her sister's bed for comfort, Su-mi has a vision — possibly a dream, but possibly not — in which a crawling grey corpse-woman (the absent mother, perhaps?) gives birth to a child-ghost in a welter of blood...

		A Tale of Two Sisters is slow at first, but builds suspense and momentum as it reveals more and more of the terrible secret no one wants brought to light.
		A Tale of Two Sisters is not necessarily meant to be scary; it’s meant to be chilling, thought-provoking and unsettling.
		A Tale of Two Sisters is very well-acted, deftly directed, and most rewarding of all — beautifully photographed in a grand, Victorian-by-way-of-Korea mansion, punctuated with an excellent music and sound score.

	Kurt's Film Blog: KBT Presents: A TALE OF TWO SISTERS
		A Tale of Two Sisters is comfortably the best horror film to come out of the recent Asian horror boom, often referred to as J-Horror.
		Perhaps due to the wave of Japanese horror films which are constantly being remade in the United States (The Ring, Dark Water, Ju-On, Kaïro), I find it fitting that the 'best in show' is actually from South Korea, a country which has been experiencing such a vibrant explosion of cinema over the past several years.
		A Tale of Two Sisters is based on a Korean folk tale, but set in modern times.

		Kim Jee-woon's ''A Tale of Two Sisters" falls squarely in the former category as a psychological thriller that borrows and expands on the classic elements of Gothic horror.
		Based on a Korean folk tale, the story begins as two teenage girls, Su-mi (Im Su-jeong) and Su-yeon (Mun Geun-yeong) return home to live with their clueless father (Kim Gab-su) and Eun-joo, their tightly wound wack job of a stepmother, played with manic ferocity by Yeom Jeong-a.
		In ''Two Sisters," much of the tension comes from the rapidly deteriorating relationship between the strong-willed Su-mi and her stepmother, who abuses the weaker Su-yeon.
