A Tale of Two Sisters (Korean: 장화, 홍련; RR: Janghwa, Hongryeon; lit. "Rose Flower, Red Lotus") is a 2003 South Korean psychological horror film written and directed by Kim Jee-woon. The film is inspired by a Joseon dynasty-era folktale entitled "Janghwa Hongryeon jeon", which has been adapted to film several times. The plot focuses on a recently released patient from a mental institution who returns home with her sister, only to face disturbing events.

The film opened to very strong commercial and critical reception and won Best Picture at the 2004 Fantasporto Film Festival.^[4] It is the highest-grossing South Korean horror film and the first South Korean picture to be screened in American theatres.^[5] An English-language remake titled The Uninvited was released in 2009 to mixed reviews.
