while not one of the three film in the collection of short put under the name three extreme will ever shock to the point of no return and they represent some of the sharp wit and gut ( literally and figuratively ) and and psychological insight into what really creep out and entertains and stick with u a viewer . the first be fruit chan dumpling . this one have me intrigue on the outset because i have never see a work of chan before he win many award but be not as well known a cult director a the his other contemporary here and by film end he have me for quite a loop . it surely the most depraved and intentionally oh my god type of short horror film one likely to see in the year to come and mainly because it take on a very basic and over do topic and vanity and and be cook up ( no pun intend ) with human being attachment to new life . mainly because and a bai ling character demonstrates and it so useful a old age prevention to eat aborted fetus in dumpling form and a the main character and a former tv star who worry about be appeal to her husband . this probably have the least depth and emotionally and psychologically and of the three film and mainly because chan be far more interested in get the audience repulse by what go on . it will certainly set the alarm go off for pro lifer and but just about anyone will wonder how it can end like it do and with a twist that be just mean to add one more devilishly wretched twist on top of the baby plate . next up be cut and a film by south korea new sensation park chanwook . while overall his film be the most wholly satisfying and entertaining and it not without a heap of hip shot and like the one that pull back ( via computer of course and though very cleverly ) across the set of a movie be shot and or in some of those angle that one saw a be one of a kind in park oldboy . this time a similar thread emerge represent a true blue psychopath and an extra with a grudge and make psychological mind game with a director with maybe too much humility to him and a his wife be tie up intricately with her finger get chop off one by one . there a lot of real guilty pleasure type laugh to be have here and with the black comedy reach high point than one would have expect even from oldboy territory and where conscience get throw out the window and all that leave be raw human emotion and the dark side of circumstance . it help that the extra and play by won hie lim and be great at the part because there no real sense of humor to him and but he still end up be funny and like when he dance to that song from one of the director film . the final five minute of the short ratchet up the terror that be build up and and those look for the same knock out violent climax would not be disappoint . but it the little moment too that park get right and a character and primarily the director and be never a very certain thing . takashi miike box be definitely and for my money and the best directed of the lot and or at least with the most measure for the character in the story . this time the outrageousness of the previous short be replace by a grim horror of complex go back to childhood and of entrapment in the mind to memory that be too horrible to contemplate . an author seem to be revisit thing that happen a a child the death of her sister by her own very strange accidental hand and how a box figure it way into it all and on top of a very sick man the girl father with a half white face . atmosphere this time trump perversity and though it still apply that miike film be a work that will be probably more haunting because of the complexity to how kyoko face what happen to her sister soko . i would not reveal what the final twist be and which be pure classic miike and but the rest of the box and which have very little dialog and many shot that linger long than one might expect and be haunt and deliberately gut wrenching . a circus atmosphere and of the sort here anyway and be no more or less realistic than the other scenario portray in three extreme and but box also have the upper hand of reality blend with nightmare and and what nightmarish quality always come up from them . what do the box mean . it not necessarily a macguffin and put it that way . so and if you make sure not to eat anything during the proceeding and and maybe have someone arm to clutch during some of the bloodier and gleefully sick moment and three extreme should make for a cool night of view . the director on hand be in their a game form and and it have an appeal that might reach the more hard bitten veteran of asian cult film due to the ingenuity of key moment as well a newcomer to asian horror that might draw them in ever more than before .
