the beauty . the terror . the poetry . the horror . the innocence . the guilt . maybe that just about all i should write in this comment for a tale of two sister . the best thing be to just watch this movie without know anything about it . i myself do not even know one single thing about the history of the two girl when i go into this movie . i just take a look at the nice cover art and do not even read the synopsis on the back and pop it into dvd player . i only know that it win several price on festival around the world and that it come highly recommend . the dvd cover read the most frightening film since the ring and the grudge and dark water . though the frighten part might be right and you can forget about the rest and because the only thing a tale of two sister have in common with those movie be . a ghostly apparition with long black hair . it even a bit unfair to compare it with those famous japanese movie and because this korean movie have a lot more to offer and be in fact a bit more complicated and intelligent than those others . this movie simply be a small masterpiece and and here be some reason ( without tell anything about the plot ) represent the movie itself catch me off guard at least two time with clever surprise twist . and just when you think you have have the conclusion ( whether you get it or not and that irrelevant for the moment ) and you think the movie will end . this movie go on a bit longer . the cinematography be amazing and use bright color during the day and dark shade at night . the camera work be excellent with the director sometimes choose impressive and if not and innovate angle . some shot be pure poetry ( e. g. the top shot with the two sister at the lake ) . it all look very stylish . there be only four main character and but the intrigue surround them be intense . the story itself start a bit slow and but there a lot of variety in tone and emotion to keep it interest . there be even one scene ( when the girl take off towards the lake ) that suddenly have me remember peter jackson heavenly creatures . but when the horror kick in and it quite effective . there be also a few successful surprise scar in it . damn and i jump right up from my sofa . the musical score be great and and at time when it not suppose to be scary and i couldn not help but notice that it have sort of an italian feeling to it . a bit strange for a korean movie . but nevertheless and a great score . so much care go into every detail of this film and include a perfectly balance surround sound . i also think that call a tale of two sister just a horror movie be give it not enough credit . it more a mysterious horror drama that work both on a psychological and supernatural level . no matter how you look at it and this be asian horror that rank way up there amongst the fine . it might not be gory and but it get pretty scary at time and the subject matter be pretty disturbed . so if you haven not see it yet and then find a copy and pop it into your dvd player and go with the flow and make sure you give this movie your full attention for it 110 minute run time . there and i hope i do a good job praise it without spoil anything .
