korean horror film...A tale of Two Sisters

Last night the Wang Center was showing a Korean horror film in the theater. It was a story based on a Korean folktale. It was not hard to follow along because there were English subtitles. However there was very little dialogue in the movie. It was a movie that focused on their actions and setting. The soundtrack was kept to a minimum, with Asian instruments creating suspension and scare the audience. The plot was supposedly was the relationship between two daughters a father not very fathering, and a step mother. In most cases you would think a movie with a step mother, that she would be the villain, however this movie twists everything around like the movie "Fight club" and "the Others"... and when they reveal the ending that it is the daughter who is insane and not the step mom it left the audience in complete confusion. I left the theater confused and a little scared. This movie was suppose to be the scariest movie, but it wasn't that scary, maybe there were parts when there was suspense and images, such as flash backs where you would see something like the ring. and the grudge.
anyways if you want to be left in confusion this is the movie for you. It was over all a well written movie.
