fruit chans "dumplings" is shocking but not much more, park chan-wooks "cut" is probably the best feature and is a black comedy, while takashi miikes "box" is just plain weird. worth watching if it comes on the tube but not worth purchasing
I wish I had skipped Dumplings and waited for the long version as I felt a little let down after the big shock was revealed early on in the film, after that it just seem to fade out. Was shocked at how bad Cut was considering Chan-wook Park's fantastic portfolio of work, I found ...( read more)
Mweh.. not really my thing.. Although Dumplings was the best out of the 3, they all couldn't really amuse me.
Episodic horror done right. Three tales of terror that will surely induce either the willies, the creeps or the eebie-jeebies, depending on your personal tastes. For me, there was one specific scene that made the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up - just don't ask me...( read more)
THREE EXTREMES are three short films put together by some of Asia's best Directors. Each are reviewed as follows:

Fruit Chan's "Dumplings" was shocking at parts but overall disappointing. Park Chan-Wook's "Cut" was amazing like all of his films. Takashi Miike's "Box" was good, but not great. Park Chan Wook and Takashi Miike's films both had amazing art direction, story, direction, and acting...( read more)
Miike and Park churn out another joyous feel-good romp!
This Guy Over Here picks this as one of the Best Horror Films of the 2000s
