Here we are, the big day! And the final scary movie recommendation for you this season is a beautifully dark fairy tale from South Korea, the 2003 movie A TALE OF TWO SISTERS.

The two sisters of the title, Su-mi and Su-yeon, have a fraught relationship with their stepmother, a battle of wills that turns into outright warfare. A frightening ghost seems to be lurking in the girls’ bedroom, and noises come from the armoire. What’s happening to this family?

TWO SISTERS is one of the best horror movies since 2000, damn well close to a masterpiece. The story’s twists and turns progress from eerie to wildly nightmarish, but as you put the pieces of the puzzle together the movie becomes a profound exploration of guilt, grief and the horrible things family members sometimes do to each other.

See this movie.
