Terror oriental é sempre interessante por abordar o lado psicologico e deixar o espectador com medo e claro muitas perguntas, bom filme.

A bit too slow for my tastes. I didn't like Su-Mi at all and it wasn't nearly as scary as I'd hoped it would be. Though I do like the fact that you end up going, "Oh, shit," [spoiler]when you look back at the rest of the movie after the twist was revealed[/spoiler].

I very much liked how the movie put everything together towards the end. [spoiler]The plot twist is also great[/spoiler], but it is not enough to justify a recommendation. The "horror" elements are poor, and at times it felt like a chore watching.

Despite perhaps not having aged all too well, it's obvious from the opening frame onwards that everything about A Tale of Two Sisters has been carefully structured. Unfortunately, it's hard to really discuss that in any detail without giving away one of the major twists. Nonetheless, you best be prepared for something that is disjointed & suffocatingly unnerving. While the strange framing and overall sound design do a brilliant job of building up tension throughout, the first third or so of the film does seem to have some pacing issues at first and some of the horror elements feel a little out of place. Yum Jung-ah and Moon Geun-young both delivered very nuanced performances, further adding to the atmosphere alongside Kim's direction, all culminating to the final few moments where your enjoyment of the film is largely going to be determined by how effective you feel the two big revelations are. Despite whether you think it sticks the landing or not, I'm sure it will leave you feeling that this is a film that _definitely_ deserves a rewatch.
