“A Tale of Two Sisters” came in, riding upon the wave of interest that was spurned in Korean and Japanese horror movies by the original Ring, although radically different countries in many ways, many of their popular horror movies do seem to have stylistic similarities, most likely influenced by Ring. “A Tale of Two Sisters” has often been mentioned as the best K-horror movie. I can see why, the mood is near perfect and the colours are vivid and gorgeous. The latter half of the movie simply has to many twists and surprises, it seems as if they were going for some kind of record. It is a bit similar to The Grudge (original one) but it worked bit better in that movie. Here it was simply complete overkill, it appears to manage to get some kind of record in the amount of surprise twists that a movie can have but it just stops making sense after a while and become completely disorienting. It does offer a decent resolution but by that time, you will be dizzy. If they would have thrown out a couple of the surprises you would have gotten a descent movie, reminiscent of some other ones. The style and mood are spot on by the number of twists are far too numerous and it just gets too much and too confusing after a while.
