In A Tale Of Two Sisters, an impressive supernatural thriller from Asia, two sisters Su-mi and Su-yeon, return home after treatment for a long illness. Not long afterwards, strange things start to happen, bumps in the night, weird noises, that sort of thing, and before long both start seeing the ghost of their dead mother wondering around the family home.

For their stepmother, anxious to please, but on a short fuse, this is not the homecoming she envisaged and as her patience begins to wear thin, a fragile and tense relationship boils over and reality takes on a much more disturbing hue.

Kim ji-woon's suspenseful thriller cleverly withholds crucial twists, before releasing them towards the end. Occasionally the moments of horror are telegraphed so you know what's coming and the director sadly insists on showing flashbacks of how things really are and how everything fits, in case you've not grasped it The twists in the tale are still enjoyable to watch and the horrific finale and final denouement nicely arrived at.
