I’m sorry, this isn’t type related . I had to tell somebody. I just found this incredible foreign film, called A Tale of Two Sisters, based on a Korean folk tale. This movie was infinitely better that any of the recent crop of Asian Cinema remakes. I almost had, and I mean HAD, to hit the power button on my dvd player a couple of times. Also better than Ju-On, and it’s remake The Grudge. Genuinely classy, creepy and scary, all in the right places.

Eric,
I can relate to that... “Our” MTV recently started showing Asian movies (mostly Korean) on weekend nights and I was pleasantly surprised by their quality. The stories may be familiar but the way they are visualized is just awesome.
Too bad that the regular channels don’t carry many Korean movies.
I just added it to my Netflix queue on your recommndation, since I’m always up for a scary flick. Interesting side note: the poster (cover?) looks a bit different on Netflix. I guess it makes sense: bloody vs. not bloody = Korean vs. American (we like the killing, but don’t want anyone to see it...?).
I watch Korean soaps and epics regularly, often preferring ones without subtitles for the former, since my imagination makes them less predictable. BTW, have you guys seen “301/302”? That story was definitely not “familiar”! :-)
