when three famous asian director work together to make a three part horror film you know youre in for a good ride . write by fruit chan and chan wook park and takashi miike they each have their own 45 minute slot to make you cringe with fear yet can not turn away and three film entitle dumpling and cut and box . the first film of the three be dumpling and star one of people magazine 50 most beautiful people in the world 1998 and bai ling and miriam chin wah yeung . we follow the story of qing a retired actress try desperately to win her husband love back with various anti age solution . when she hear about aunt mei dumpling be the best thing to regain your youthful look and she knock on the flat door of the unusually young look aunt . after consume a number of aunt mei dumpling for a couple of week she start to develop some unusual side affect . because of the great success of this film and the director go on to make a feature length version of dumpling with a run time of 91 minute . the next instalment of the three be cut direct by chan wook park ( famous for his vengeance trilogy ) and star byung hun lee and win hie lim . one way to describe this section of the film be the asian version of saw . it tell the story of a director on the set of his late film and but he not to do work . he have be kidnap by a jealous extra in his film and put into a life threaten situation and hand bound and a rope around his waist he be set a task and on one side of the room be an abducted girl and on the other his pianist wife and both of them securely tide up . the director must decide to either strangle the little girl and or his wife get a finger chop off every five minute . i have a lot of problem with this story and first of all there be a collection of open flame candle behind the director and i be sure he could have use those to burn through the ribbon join his hand together and and also there be a number of time be the extra come so close to the director that he could have easily swing for him and instead he just listen to him talk . after i put both of those thing aside i really enjoy this short film and it have some very tense part as well a some strong horror and 15 minute through you get suck in and wish it also have a separate feature length . the third and final part be by takashi miike ( most famous for audition and ichi the killer ) his film be call box this story contain a woman worst nightmares a they become reality . star kyoko hasegawa a struggle writer kyoko and the story mostly focus on the flashback of her childhood when she run a sideshow act with her sister and father . the show success be great until the attention come away from 10 year old kyoko and onto her sister shoko while her jealousy cause her to play a nasty trick on her sister that go horribly wrong . i look forward to this the most of the three and be the most disappointed and there be hardly any dialogue so most of the film be purely base on assumption and and it also get quite boring watch the same flashback over and over again . on the other hand people that i watch this with find it to be their favourite while i guess it a love hate kind of thing . over all i give this film positive and manly because of the first two film and they each get you involve with the character and have a great end and the third make me drop the score by a couple of mark and if they have dumpling a there final piece i would have enjoy this film a lot more and a good thing about the film be the length of them and a some of the time you may not have the time to watch a two hour feature you can choose to just watch one of the story and turn it off afterwards . i do recommend this film to fan of horror or asian cinema and if not then try something new and this film a good catch and worth watching .
