Restrained but disturbing, A Tale of Two Sisters is a creepily effective, if at times confusing, horror movie.

This is a carefully structured film about grief and guilt, as well as horror. They don't resolve every disturbing moment or confusing element: they leave some questions hauntingly unanswered. Jan 17, 2006 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The film feels haunted by the relationship between Im and Moon, who cling to each other in the face of a hostile hostess, even though that may not be their best option. Sep 26, 2005

There's a reason why Hollywood has been so busy in recent years remaking Asian horror movies. Scare for scare, they're generally better. Feb 25, 2005 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It may not be a pretty picture, but A Tale of Two Sisters is definitely a satisfying piece of less-is-more cinematic horror. Jan 30, 2005 | Rating: 3/4

Kim Ji-woon's psychological skin-chiller painstakingly teases apart the traumas that bind a widower, his teen daughters... and his high-strung second wife in a suffocating web of guilt, suspicion and fear. The American remake, The Uninvited (2009), pales Mar 1, 2009 | Full Review…

Kim Jee-Woon's serious approach has its merits, but it also creates some problems that mar, without ruining, the film's effectiveness. Jul 9, 2008 | Full Review…

Sometimes it is better for a film to be more straightforward in order to work, and this sinister Asian horror movie is ironically too unpredictable for its own good and fails to be as scary as it believes to be (and that is because it is so strangely confusing until the end).
Super Reviewer
Great scary movie. Had a hard time falling asleep.
Unfolding like a Grimm fairy tale channeled through David Lynch, A Tale of Two Sisters is dreamlike, haunting, and thought provoking. Some of its plot points are disjointed. but the film works overall as a ghost story mixed with psychological thriller.
