A great horror anthology that thankfully restores my faith in the anthology gimmick that Hollywood completely diminished years ago...

Irregular como a maior parte das antologias, traz episódios longos a ponto de diluírem suas tramas, mas curtos demais para permitirem um bom desenvolvimento das situações e personagens. Mas é um esforço intrigante.

Un ensemble de films extrêmement intéressant à explorer, mais chacun pour des raisons bien distinctes.

These films give you a rush that most American horror movies don't, even if you're not entirely certain what's going on.

'Cut,' Park's contribution to Three... Extremes

Top CriticA strong effort from everyone involved, though they're not all wholly successful.

The tension, of balancing visceral horror with psychological sadomasochism, requires a disciplined viewer.
