A Tale Of Two Sister (2004)

A Tale Of Two Sisters (Jangwa, Hongryeon) is a South Korean movie which I have been meaning to see for some time after gaining some very favourable reviews in the UK media upon it's dvd release last year .

Narrative wise this film has a lot in common with the excellent Sixth Sense and The Others with the style of The Grudge, the film is very slow moving with a few 'jumpy' moments, but is more about building a story than scaring the life out of you..

One massive difference between this film and Sixth Sense,Others etc is that the plot outcome isn't as clear cut as those films, you will be scratching your head for the last 15 minutes and probably during the credits as I was, but don't put this down as a criticism, I mean, Donnie Darko had a huge proportion of it's audience perplexed for some time after it's release in 2003!
