A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)

A creepy drama from Dir. Kim Jee-woon that has a few good scares but is mostly about atmosphere - Jee-woon savours the beauty of a scene, drawing out its potential in an unhurried and altogether deliberate manner. The story, inspired by a centuries-old folktale, about a family (two sisters, their father, and their troubled step-mother) can get a little confusing on first viewing, but things become clearer as it deepens. It's best if I say no more than that. I'll add only that the performances of the four principal actors are great.
