Reviews for 3 Extremes
Top CriticAsian horror like the new Three ... Extremes beats an American film like Saw II at its own game.

Top Critic'Cut,' Park's contribution to Three... Extremes
10/29/05
Top CriticOne is haunting and wonderful, one is very good, and one spoils the fun.
10/28/05
Top CriticEvokes a queasy fascination.
10/28/05
Top CriticAsk three of Asia's most extreme filmmakers to contribute a short horror film each, and the result is, well, extreme.
10/28/05
Top CriticBlood, grotesquerie and humor mix equally in the first two, but the full combo makes a savory witches' brew for Asian-cinema cultists (or Halloween lovers in need of a gore fix).
10/28/05
Top CriticIt has three stories, and each is extreme. Yet even literalism can be an understatement.
10/28/05
Top CriticYou can't watch these three mini-movies without wondering what you possibly can take from them, but there's warped creativity at work in all of them, and if you can separate talent from content, you'll see three very adventurous filmmakers at work.
10/28/05
Top CriticMakes a persuasive argument for what's wrong with so many horror films today.
10/28/05
Top CriticThree . . . Extremes will be a must-see only for fans of Asian horror, but it may also send some people looking for full-length films by these gifted filmmakers.
10/28/05
Top CriticFor those in the middle, fasten your seat belts for a bumpy ride -- narratively and artistically -- and don't go in on a full stomach.
10/28/05
Top CriticA black-blooded hoot.
10/27/05
Top CriticThe first is the best, the second most riveting, the third most disturbing, but all will stay with you for weeks.
10/27/05
Top CriticThis trilogy provides a sampler of three short horror films from high-profile Asian directors.
10/27/05
Top CriticAll three look great and the filmmakers deliver a certain artiness, but their overall triviality and the unpleasantness of the first two make for an extremely distasteful experience.
10/27/05
Top CriticMiike, known as Japanese cinema's bad-boy shock master, delivers the most textured, delicate and finely crafted episode of the bunch.
10/27/05
Top CriticA bloody strange movie -- and a surprise.
10/27/05
Top CriticWhat all three of these stories share is the quality found in Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King: An attention to horror as it emerges from everyday life as transformed by fear, fantasy and depravity.
10/27/05
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.
