    The other stories are so-so, but Peter Chan's "Going Home" is a minor masterpiece. Surreal and with a great ironic ending, check it out.

    Memories: 2 stars; A fairly dull, pointless 'horror' film.

    The Wheel: 1 star; Maybe you have to be a part of the culture to understand why this film is 'scary.'

    Going Home: 4 stars; A really fantastic film. It's not really scary at all, but I don't think that was t...( read more)he point. A very interesting and bizarre story. Highly recommend.

    Still need to see the first trilogy, but this should be worthy of a view.

    It was okay, Out all of all the stories. I found the first one to be the most original. The second one was boring and made no sense. The third one was confusing also.

    Intriguing films with moments of genuine creepy.
  • December 6, 2008
    Definitely more of a gross factor film than a horror. But it's unique in that it's 3 separate films in one,and the stories are at least interesting. Confusing plots,but cool.

    I just found out that Three Extremes was a sequal to this. In asia this film was put out as just "Three". I guess Three extremes was enough of a hit in the US to back track and release this. Still I did not like this.

    Three horror shorts worthy of your time, one excellent night in.

    This second compilation of asian short horror movies hasn't the quality of the first one.
    Memories (Korea): 3 stars -- although a little boring and incoherent at first, it has some scares to offer and in the end all makes sense. Plus, it has some cool gore scenes.
    The Wheel (T...( read more)hailand): half star -- The story has nothing to offer, just a chain of deaths, that aren't even creepy, caused by cursed puppets. The movie could have benifit with its simple plot but the lack of mistery or suspense and the weird ending doesn't add any quality to the movie. Plus, for the viewer that doesn't fully know the folklore and beliefs of Thailandese people, like myself, hardly will find any interest on the movie.
    Going Home (Hong Kong): 2 and a half stars -- It starts slow but the story reveals itself interesting and the end is surprisingly good. It only fails to be better because it has no gore or creepy scenes.
