A Tale Of Two Sisters, 2003

"A Tale of Two Sisters" starts off as a fairly conventional horror flick. There is an eerie old house in the woods, an evil stepmother and a creepy pair of sisters who have an intense, mysterious bond. So far, so normal. However, things quickly progress and by the final third, it has turned into a total mindbender. Twists and turns are thrown so quickly that by the time you think you have one thing figured out, there are another 5 questions you need to wrestle with. Is this a bad thing? Yes and no. By the end of the film, you'll certainly be confused and probably be frustrated. I know I was. But on the upside, you'll have a lot to think about and the film will stick in your mind for days afterwards. I have only seen this film once so far, but will almost certainly watch it again in the near future. Furthermore, the film is exceptionally good at creating an unsettling atmosphere. It is not an all-out horror, and there are only one or two traditional frights that are intended to make you jump. Instead, the eeriness is created by the setting, the music, the colours and the fine performances by the actresses who play the two sisters. It is creepy, not scary, and I liked it a lot.
