SYNOPSIS:

 

"A Tale of Two Sisters" tells the story of Su-mi (Im Soo-jung) and Su-yeon (Moon Geun-young), two sisters from a rich family, who go to live with their eccentric stepmother after recovering from an unnamed illness in a mental hospital only to find that their conditions have worsened thanks to an unbalanced parental figure and a pesky ghost. Su-yeon has nightmares about her mother's death and relies on her big sister for emotional protection. The new stepmother dreams of a perfect family and treats her two stepdaughters with both manic affection and frightening frostiness. The father only observes taciturnly and remains isolated.

What runs in such a disfunctional family is the otherworldly horror. A ghost crawls behind a clothing trunk, a freakish woman hides under the sink, and a bloody sack containing a corpse leaves a trail of red on the wooden floor. But you never know if these are hallucinations or real happenings. And who is the real ghost? The mother? The step-mother? Or the two sisters?
