three extreme take three highly talented far east director ( one from honk kong and one japanese and one korean ) and and let the dark side of their imagination loose for thirty minute each . the film be actually a trilogy of separate and unconnected horror tale and each one out to blur the boundary between horror and art and and to produce something that be more than just to throwaway . first tale be dumpling and a shortened version of the full length movie of the same name and a satire about contemporary vanity and the desire and desperation of some people to fee it . i love the full movie and and the shortened version doesn not disappoint but the end be different but just a deliciously dark . fine performance and direct make this a stellar show for anyone . the second tale be call cut and surprisingly be the poor of the three . a korean short movie about one nice guy director and his wife hold hostage by an extra from his movie who terrorise them both and try to bring out the dark side of the director . revelation and tension wrap this short up and but the violence be excessive at time and the story do seem to tail off very quickly . it start off so well with some stellar camera work and movement and and the arty feel of this horror piece be quite intriguing and but the bulk of this piece turn stale and fall flat a violence overtakes all else . if you have see an austrian movie call funny game then you can see where this film likely get it influence from . the final part of the three be the box . if you have see anything by miike takishi before then this be quite tame in comparison to much of his other work ( if you haven not then do not ask a you will either love it or hate it and it a conversation for another day ) . the film be a menagerie of dream and memory and image of a girl past life in a circus act with her twin and mentor which be ting with tragedy ( surprise surprise ) . the most artistic of the three and this be incredibly beautiful and dark and haunting and frightening and and also intrigue and think provoke . this episode will be the one of the three you be most likely will be ponder about at the end . i enjoy this trilogy and although i have already see the full dumpling film which take out most of the surprise element and but even with the disappointment of cut this be still a very worthwhile view for anyone into artistic horror . each be different to another and and will offer something to everyone .
