Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Watched an atmospheric and beautifully filmed horror movie (more psychological than most) called A Tale of Two Sisters. I recommend it for shots of the house alone. Dream living.

"Based loosely on an old Korean folk tale that has been filmed no less than five times previously, Kim Jee-woon's A Tale of Two Sisters twists the source material more or less beyond recognition, keeping the father, stepmother and two daughters from the original but abandoning much of the rest. Rather than a literal adaptation, Kim's version is a successful attempt to update the story to a contemporary setting retaining the scary, sad and touching elements of the original."
