A Great Korean Movie


    A scene from "A Tale of Two Sisters"

Here's a review of a Janghwa, Hongryeon (2003), aka "A Tale of Two Sisters": 'Two Sisters' scares Western critics.

The movie is along the lines of The Others (2001) or The Sixth Sense (1999), except that the viewer (or at least this viewer) never fully figures out exactly what is going on. If you don't mind movies that leave some questions unanswered, you might enjoy this film. It opened world-wide last weekend.
