Movie Reviews of 3 Extremes
Movie Review: Asianthology...
Summary: 5 Stars
DUMPLINGS (Hong Kong. directed by Fruit Chan)- An aging woman seeks to regain her youth through unethical, unearthly methods. This one is NOT for anyone who can't stand the sight, or even the thought of unflinching, gynecological horror! I'll never eat dumplings again as long as I live! CUT ( Korea. directed by Park Chan-Wook)- A film director finds himself abducted and forced to make choices between life, death, and dismemberment. Suspenseful, horrific, and (at times) humorous! BOX (Japan, directed by Miike Takashi)- A woman is haunted by nightmares of her twin sister. Many eerie and ghoulish goings-on. Much of the film is dreamlike, giving a sense of unreality. A great ending helps this one! 3 EXTREMES is an excellent anthology for lovers of Asian horror, or horror in general. Well worth owning... P.S.- The 2-disc edition has the full-length feature version of DUMPLINGS. Highly recommended as it fleshes out the story, as well as providing a more thorough narrative...Movie Review: 3 masterpieces
Summary: 5 Stars
this title should be 3 masterpieces instead!!3 short films by 3 master film makers!i will particularly stand at the last film"box"by takashi miike.what you get here is film with very little dialogues,basing the most part of its narration in the sceneries the director creates..desolate scenes with minimal use of actors,that achieve thru lyrical photography,to create at some points,a phantom of abscence.a loss of what was..the key character is present in this film only by her abscence,while both halves are with thoughts of guilt,longing and salvation that originate from deam.two different minds united by fate and set as actors on the stages of their own dreaming,creating parallel stories that are bound to come across,at awakenings cold touch..salvation never comes,"when the actors stop acting,does the film become real?"Movie Review: It's true what they say about Asian horror
Summary: 5 Stars
Expect to approach the 'forbidden.' It's all here. Brazenly in your face, the directors catch you off guard with very bizarre plots and interestingly disturbing thoughts and images. A thinker's horror trio, 3 Extremes puzzles, horrifies and widens the eye. The images AND sounds are unforgettable. I did find the ending of the third film to be anti-climactic, but overall, I was not disappointed. NOT for kids.Movie Review: freaky stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
i got this movie a while back wheen i was looking for j-horror live action movies and suprisingly, this movie was very freaky. it is horror but the "dumplings" short is the freakist of them all. if you watch this movie youll understand, just dont eat while watching if you have a weak stomach. all in all, i give it 5 stars cause it was one of the wierdest movies from japan ive seen yet.Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Three separate stories with horrific plots. These are not for the faint of heart. Horror with actual stories to them. Not just screaming stupid teenagers. I will be seeing more movies from these directors. Be warned these are not "nice scary" or "funny scary". Enjoy!
