Did you see this or the remake first?

I saw the Uninvited first. However, it did nothing to ruin the pleasure of Tale of Two Sisters, for me. In fact, when I began to watch Two Sisters, I did not know at the time it was related to the Uninvited in any way, lol. It wasnt until it really started to show the hostility between Su-mi and the "stepmom" that I was like "Hey... this reminds me of the Uninvited."

At that point I made the connection about the girls hanging out at the wharf at the beginning of the movie and the similar scene in the Uninvited.

My final opinion when the movie was over: A much better piece of art than the Uninvited. Dont get me wrong, I loved the American film, but it really lacked the depth of this Korean original.
Also, after watching Two Sisters, I definitely think that

A)Su-Mi taking on the personalities of both the sister and the stepmother makes much more sense than the main character in the Uninvited hallucinating ONLY her sister, and no one else (dad or stepmom) in the house notices throughout the entire film.

B)The Uninvited goes too much into all that nonsense about the woman who murdered those children who she meets in the mental hospital.

I saw this first and loved it. I watched the remake a few weeks ago, in the hope they might have done a good job with it, but they hadn't. It was only "ok", whereas this was excellent.

My opinion is completely opposite of everyone's here. I literally just saw this film and it is one of the worst films I have ever seen. It is so horribly done. Until the end, I had no idea what was going on. Okay, I figured a few things out, but for the main plot, I had to look it up here. I will say, though, that it did have an excellent atmosphere, better than The Uninvited, which I saw first. ATOTS had some scary parts, truly scary, but the whole entire film was terribly slow.

The Uninvited is excellent. I love the relationship between Anna and Alex; I believe that they love each other and Anna would do anything for Alex. In this film I thought the sisters were cute together, and I believed that they loved each other, but I just couldn't connect to them the same way. Other than that, the plot of ATOTS was nonsensical while The Uninvited was surprisingly clever. I know The Unninvited is based on this movie, but The Uninvited is put together so much better. I liked how the story about Mildred Kemps was included. It made a much better plot and a believable twist.

In The Uninvited it's written so it seems that people are actually responding to Alex, that she is being included, so it isn't obvious at all that she's dead. I loved that about The Uninvited. Didn't see that coming. But the stepmom in ATOTS...I saw that coming from a mile away. How Su-mi and she were never in the same room with the dad, or if they were, they never both spoke. It was ridiculous. So obvious that the stepmom wasn't real. The way the father treated her completely gave it away. Why would he treat his new wife that way? Because she's his daughter. Yeah. Not that I figured it completely out, but I got the gist. Same person, come on.

Okay, I've said my piece. Hate away.

Sometimes, I wish I was a ho.

I first saw A Tale Of Two Sisters when I was 14 with some friends, and it scared us *beep* I saw it once or twice after that too.
Then, about a year ago, I caught the Uninvited on TV. During, I said to my sister, "This seems like a real Americanised rip off of A Tale Of Two Sisters," and didn't realise til the end credits that it was a remake.
The Uninvited was alright for your typical American teen ghost movie, but A Tale Of Two Sisters is really something else. It went beyond making me jump, it *beep* with my head, and that was what was so great about it. Just like the stepmother says, I couldn't get it out of my mind. It followed me around...like a ghost! (My friends and I certainly had a thing about dark spaces under sinks for a long time!)

I saw the Uninvited first and really liked it. About to watch Tale of Two Sisters...

Life is Like a Dream

Both where quite boring.

Paddle faster, I hear banjos!

This, I found the remake a bit boring

I realize this is an older post, but I saw The Uninvited first and LOVED it. (I still do) I found it was well performed, shot and had a great score. I then went online and watch ATOTS because I knew it would be even better.

-SPOILERS BELOW-

My problem with watching The Uninvited first is that I was focused on THEIR plot twist as opposed to A Tale of Two Sisters' overall story. The Uninvited is all built around the death of Alex whereas in ATOTS has many levels and the sister's death was only one of them revealed pretty early on. I had to rewatch the film a few times to actually understand what was actually happening. I now love ATOTS and learn new things about it each time I watch it. Both are beautiful films but have different focal points.
