''A Tale of Two Sisters'' (aka ''Janghwa, Hongryeon'', literally 'Rose Flower, Red Lotus') is a 2003 South Korean psychological horror film by Kim Ji-woon. It is both the highest-grossing Korean horror film and the first to be screened in American theatres.
The film is inspired by a Joseon Dynasty folktale entitled ''[[wikipedia:Janghwa Hongryeon jeon|Janghwa Hongryeon jeon]]'', which has been adapted to film several times. [[Foreign Remake|An American remake]] titled ''[[The Uninvited 2009|The Uninvited]]'' was released in 2009—not to be confused with a completely different Korean horror film from 2003 also titled ''[[Film/The Uninvited 2003|The Uninvited]]'', nor the 1944 American film [[Film/The Uninvited 1944|of that name]].
