Totally Asian Tuesdays: Day 4. "A Tale of Two Sisters"

Totally Asian Tuesdays! Here's my pick!!


Cocktail: Absolut Ginger Tea (Thanks to Michelle for exposing me to this nom drank!)
Absolut Wild Tea Vodka. Ginger Ale. Fresh Lime.
(The ginger ale to soothe my stomach because these movies always make me feel wonky in my guts.)

Oh. Em. Eff. Gee.
This might be the highest rated film I will watch this entire month. Which is a hope not a fear!

Based on a Korean folk tale, A Tale of Two Sisters centers around, yes, two sisters, Su-Yeon(little sis) and Su-Mi, who return home (from???) only to be physically and sonically brutalized by their trifflin' ho of a step mom. I'm sure the Korean language is beautiful but this shrill, husband-thieving, skeksis makes ears bleed with her pitiless screeching! In hindsight, I would have muted her scenes but that banshee made shit that much scarier. For truth!
As the story unfolds, the two sisters find themselves being haunted by some totally crazy she-ghost that hides under the sink and has hands coming out her noni. Eek!
The step monster goes postal on the little sister and the absentee salt-and-pepper peepaw sits around looking depressed and bored. When Su-Mi decides to call bullshit on her step-ho, Peepaw dismisses her rant and drops a reality bomb that might make you tinkle your panties.
Nothing is as it seems. Things get crazier until finally the story starts to explain itself.
All in all, you feel like two hand punched you in the chonies when Su-Mi starts to remember how shit really went down.

This movie is a lot better than I even expected. Even with the bleeding ear holes!
See it!
