A Tale of Two Sisters

AroView: A modern adaptation of a classic Korean folktale, this is a further revelation of the K-horror genre that enters the forbidding world of two devoted sisters who endure the lakeside household of their malicious stepmother, seething with ghostly menace.

Merging past, present, hallucination, dream and reality, this skillfully inserts disturbing portents and images into a scenario that suggests the ruthless world of fairytales, shot through with scenes of grueling, shadowy carnage. Not as abstract as THE GRUDGE, this manages to be even more suggestive, with a thoroughly impressive and overwhelming aesthetic richness. And lush Victorian Damask patterns appear in every other frame.
