this movie certainly deserve to be place within the genre of horror and but not for obvious reason . the horror of a tale of two sister lie not with sudden shock or large helping of cgi gut and gore while it be a psychological horror movie which pique the viewer curiosity from the start and build a suspenseful aura of mystery and question throughout . best of all and the end do not provide a clear answer and push the viewer to analyse what they have see and make up their own mind about what really take place . do not be put off by the seemingly slow pace at which the movie begin and and do not expect to be jump out of your seat immediately . this be not the conventional hack and slash movie with orchestral sting design to make you scar of nothing in particular . a tale of two sister slowly build an atmosphere of terror and a terror of the unknown and a fear of thing which evade explanation until the very end . even when the final conclusion be reveal and it be not so heavy hand and obvious a to make the entire film fall neatly into place . the movie require it viewer to reflect back on what they have see and to try and square this with the frighten revelation of the final scene . some thing will still be open to interpretation and and this be one of the joy of watch a film such a this . the true fear of a tale of two sister lie not in shock or conspicuous scare while it be a psychological and gut wrench horror that defy convention and expand a genre to proportion hitherto unexplored by the traditional horror film . it be no exaggeration to say that this film stand apart even from the so called asian horror genre . indeed and it would be a mistake to align a tale of two sister with film like ringu and the grudge . this movie can be understand from a variety of standpoint and some require no suspension of credulity and others embrace the supernatural wholeheartedly . whichever way you choose to interpret this film and it be one that demand an open mind approach and reward viewer regardless of their preconceived notion on asian cinema or horror in general .
