THE EVIL TWIN 2007

FULL MOVIE

Based upon the old Korean Cinderella style story of Kongji and Patzzi, the plot revolves around twin sisters So Yeon and Hyo Jin (popular television starlet Park Shin Hye, known for “Palace S” and “Trees in Heaven”). After an accident which leaves her sister dead, So Yeon falls into a coma from which she finally awakes ten years later, with no memory of the tragic event or the incidents which led up to it. Although she slowly manages to adjust to her new life and even hesitatingly begins romancing her sister’s former beau Hyun Sik (Jae Hee, star of Kim Ki Duk’s “3-iron”), the past gradually comes back to haunt her, as she seemingly takes on her sister’s personality traits and a spate of murders terrorises the village. While the locals are quick to blame her for the sinister events, thanks to a barrage of none too subtle flashbacks it’s glaringly obvious that something more spooky is going on, leading to a final twist which surprises no-one but the rather slow characters.
