A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
REVIEWER RATING:
7/10
I heard a lot of positive buzz on this flick a little before it was released on DVD, so I knew once it hit DVD that I'd have to get my hands on it. Well anyway, although the movie is a little confusing at times, it's a good mix of drama and the supernatural.
The story is basically about two sisters who return home to their father and stepmother after being treated for mental illness because of the birth-mother's death. The sisters hate it at home, because of their naive father and cruel stepmother, but not only do they have to deal with them, but also the strange happenings around the house. Could the ghosts and strange happenings be the cause of the sisters’ return home? Actually I believe that this movie is based on a famous Korean folk-tale.
A Stranger in the Woods (2024)
When approaching a found footage horror film with very minimal casting, I need that “oomph” via a strong storyline, dynamic characters and abbreviated strategy to contain my interest.
A Stranger in the Woods hit every element and then some.
