A collection of three short films from three different directors. "Dumplings" combines footage of the short and extended version which considerably hinders the narrative. Good shock value, nothing more. "Cut" is an incoherent mess. Some interesting ideas but it's sad to see the talented director of "Oldboy" mess up so badly. "Box" is confusing as hell, in trademark Miike fashion, yet still the best. Atmospheric, chilling & stylish throughout. Disappointing but worth a watch.

Dumplings worked well -the story was grotesque and suspenseful enough to keep me interested. The other two stories are very stylish, but there's not a lot of substance behind them - plus they both suffer from a flaw that seems endemic to the Asian Horror genre: they mistake Incomprehensibility for scary.

Fruit Chan's segment is the strongest. It had a pretty good premise, a strong narrative build, and doled out information at just the right times. Also Chris Doyle photography. The other two parts aren't that great.

Impressive.

The only three extremes reached are boredom, confusion and apathy. There really isn't that much of interest here. The stories all suffer from lack of satisfying closure, and despite a few cringeworthy moments barely got a reaction out of me.

Chan-wook Park's segment is my favorite. The first one just makes me hungry.

Dumplings was tight

Dumplings - Good Cut - Great Box - wtf

A good mix of shorts, but they still felt overly long. A good condensation of each director's style (except Fruit's, which was just a recut version of a longer film).

"This high profile anthology of shorts by Fruit Chan, Park Chan-wook, and Takashi Miike is related by their chilling structuralist rigor." - Ed Gonzalez

remarkably consistent horror anthology. Miike's is my favorite, but you could really make an argument for any of them.

Wonderfully graphic and original, makes the future of horror movies not seem so dim.

Dumplings is cool but it wasnt "extreme" Cut it alright. Box is awesome and has an amazing etheral feel to it

Fruit Chan's contribution has stayed with me for years since I watched it, so he definitely got it right. Park's 'Cut', while lacking the depth he usually brings to the table, is an effective slice of great-looking horror. 'Box' by Miike is nonsensical and utterly dull, however, containing imagery and situations that he's used to much greater effect in his other films.

Looks great (set design, photography), but i hate this genre

Probably the last entertaining Asian Horror films I've seen before the genre was completely over-saturated. Dumplings is by far the strongest, but the other two have their merits- they're both kind of confusing and pointless, yet they both look amazing.

miike and park's segments ok
