Kim Ji-woon's supernatural melodrama A Tale of Two Sisters goes beyond the usual Asian horror film's ace-in-the-hole affinity for creepy children. Instead, Su-mi and Su-yeon are grief-stricken sisters arriving at their isolated lakeside residence to an altered home life. Their detached dad has replaced their recently deceased mother with an apparently evil stepmother, but stranger still are the unsettling sounds haunting the new home. Soon, with vivid visions, Su-mi begins to suspect her stepmother of a dark, disturbing secret. Deftly drawn from an ancient Korean folktale about familial self-destruction, the psychological nightmare is stuffed with surreal compositions and saturated colors for an exquisitely tense experience, from bucolic beginning to chilling clincher.
