Today’s movie review finds us in Ancient Korea, where Long Haired Ghosts are on the prowl in another one Neko-chan’s favorite film genres, the Ghost Romance….
This time it’s in the film “The Evil Twin” aka “전설의 고향”….. one of 2007’s crop of new Korean chillers finally reaching DVD release.
Our synopsis for this one is as follows: “Set in the Jhosun Dynasty, Seo-rae village is enshrouded by a thick fog coming from the lake. While running away from a group of village kids, Hyo-jin and her sister So-yeon fall into the lake. The mother of the twins tries hard to save them, both but manages only to save So-yeon, her favorite, who remains alive but comatose. Ten years later, Choi is murdered mysteriously as he was heading home from a friends gathering. And at that precise moment, So-yeon wakes up from her coma, without any memories of her childhood or even of her sister Hyo-jin. . Not long after the So-yeon’s recovery, more former friends and enemies are killed and people suspect So-yeon.. Her lover Hyun-sik, in truth misses the dead sister, Hyo-jin, for whom he mourns. As So-yeon is driven into a corner, her jealousy of Hyo-jin returns. But has her dead sister returned as well?”
Ooooooh……. scary!! Just the way Neko likes them. But will “The Evil Twin” live up to my expectations? Or will it just be twice the disappointment? “Read On” and find out!
