Tale of Two Sisters, A (2003)

  • Kim, Jee-woon
  • 2003, Kim, Jee-woon, South Korea
  • 3 Comments

One of the highest peaks of contemporary K-horror, this is a precise and complexly-layered piece of filmmaking, marked by unbearable suspense, effectively creepy scares and a poignant backstory. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I Saw the Devil (2010)
