Ninety percent...is fun, but that fun is compromised by the 10 percent that isn't %u2013 i.e., the conclusions.

Title notwithstanding, Three . . . Extremes really offers only two. The first is one of nausea.
10/27/05
Asian horror like the new Three ... Extremes beats an American film like Saw II at its own game.

Top CriticMore than lives up to its name.

It has three stories, and each is extreme. Yet even literalism can be an understatement.

Top CriticThe Dumplings short may be hard to watch (not to mention stomach), but it's even harder to listen to without getting a major case of the heebie-jeebies.

Three Extremes would be better if it were Two Extremes.

Miike, known as Japanese cinema's bad-boy shock master, delivers the most textured, delicate and finely crafted episode of the bunch.

Top CriticThree of Asia's best-regarded young filmmakers contribute to this terror trilogy, each giving his segment a distinctive flavor of bleak black comedy and elegant dread.

This trilogy provides a sampler of three short horror films from high-profile Asian directors.

Bracingly twisted.
04/09/05
This high profile anthology of shorts by Fruit Chan, Park Chan-wook, and Takashi Miike is related by their chilling structuralist rigor.

Miike fans may want to pretend he had nothing to do with his segment
10/25/05
An arena rock type film event for lovers of Asian cinema.

So you'd like to see work from a few Asian horror directors, but don't have time to watch three separate movies? Then here's the sampler platter you're looking for!
08/23/05
These films give you a rush that most American horror movies don't, even if you're not entirely certain what's going on.

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