Dumplings,” directed by Fruit Chan of Hong Kong, is a fairly corny vignette...the other two are well worth seeing. Go to Full Review

Asian horror like the new Three ... Extremes beats an American film like Saw II at its own game. Go to Full Review
Steve Biodrowski ESplatter Jul 7, 2008
All the episodes are interesting and disturbing - perhaps too much so, without any clear reason for the audience to endure the suffering. Go to Full Review
Sam Jordison Film4 Sep 26, 2007

Hagrid R Feb 5, 2018 Portmanteau of three unrelated thrillers, the weakest being Nonzee Nimibutr's puppet piece. The bookend shorts - Kim Ji-Woon's Memories and in particular Peter Ho-Sun Chan's Going Home - are more successful, but none of them are very frightening and they are all over-directed and (wilfully?) overcomplicated.
