Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

overdarklord Takashi Miike's "Box" 7/10- Definitly the most interesting of the three. It deals with the concept of being scarred by your past has a bit of symbolism in it, that, for me felt a bit too obvious, but the idea would have made a really good feature lenght movie, probably even one of Miike's best.Fruit Chan's "Dumpling" 5/10- This movie is more disgusting than anything else. The storyline only shows key events and therefore doesnt come around as coherent. The main protagnists relationship with her husband is rather vague and so is her motivation. It was a decent watch but nothing too special.Park Chan-Wook's "Cut" 3/10- As in all Park Chan-wook's movies, the characters are terribly written, without motivation or any kind of consistancy. The dialoges are mostly uninteresting and is sometimes interrupted through unecessary filler (in this case idiotic comedy scenes that ruin the tone of the movie). Park Chan-wook mostly relys on over the top storylines to keep viewers interested but I just think it comes around as silly and utterly shallow. I am really not a fan of his works and he proved himself again here.

Jamie Lee (jaythejza) After watching the likes of "V/H/S", I was intrigued in looking out for better horror themed anthology movies. Considering I am a fan of Japanese & Asian Movies, particularly horror, "Three... Extremes (Saam Gaang Yi)" seemed just what I was looking for. A trilogy of short films from Asia's acclaimed horror directors, China's Fruit Chan with "Dumplings", Korea's Chan-Wook Park with "Cut" & Japan's Takashi Miike with "Box". They were a very good combination & do fit the theme of extreme, just not quite what I was expecting in a way. It's more extreme in the subjects within each segment, as opposed to extreme horror. I watched this with no expectations, while I did enjoy the movie, so to speak, I was expecting to be more scared, as opposed to creeped out & disturbed.The first segment, "Dumplings", is a very peculiar story about a woman's need to feel and look youthful, for her husbands attention. She seeks out a chef whose dumplings may hold the key to youth, but little does she know what disturbing ingredients are required for these dumplings. The short had an interesting story, but if anything, did feel a little light. I guess this has been fleshed out a little in the extended feature of "Dumplings" (Which I have yet to watch). "Dumplings" certainly finds its extreme in the subjects the short tackles, rather than any traditional horror shocks."Cut", The second feature of three, is completely different, if not close to traditional horror movies, in it's gruesome scenes, but with Park's own confusing spin on the short. Think "Saw" mixed with Park's own "Oldboy" this story revolves around a movie director, who clearly has a good life, confront the realities of his life, thanks to an extra from one of his movies creating a tortuous "game" with his life. Its quite a bizarre movie, with rather grotesque torture & horror elements, mixed in with some dark & comedic moments, all topped off with a shocking ending, that is open to many interpretations. Again, this movie does tackle some dark subjects, but not quite as dark as the other two shorts. This short is more about visual & confusion elements, something it delivers well.Last, but certainly not the least was Takashi Miike's "Box", my favourite of the three. This is the story of a female writer, and her coming to terms with a strange & significant box from her past and the dreams she has associated with it. I thought the cinematography was excellent in this short, simple things like the jerkiness of the camera to add tension during one scene, to the way music & sound was and also wasn't used in key scenes, really added to the surreal feel of the film. It simply captivated me throughout, with it's atmosphere, grand sets, symbolism and the unnerving feel it gave you whilst watching. Add to this is Miike's trait for leaving his movies open to many interpretations & you have a great end that can be taken in so many ways, with each persons view being different! As much as Its strange to say, I did enjoy this movie, it did achieve what it had set out to do, just not quite like what I had expected. One thing I will say is that if your easily offended or disturbed by taboo subjects, This isn't for you. For those that aren't, then sit back & prepare yourself for three very different short films from Asia's best bizarre horror directors.

Claudio Carvalho "Saam gaang yi", a.k.a. "3 Extremes", is composed of three segments(1) "Dumplings", by Fruit Chan, is the best segment. I saw the complete film ("Jiao Zi") on 25 August 2007 on DVD released in Brazil with the title "Escravas da Vaidade" ("Slaves of the Vanity"). The gruesome tale tells the story of an aging actress that seeks out a mysterious woman that cooks dumplings with a special ingredient that rejuvenates those who eat them. My review is available in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472458/reviews-21(2) "Cut", by Chan-wook Park, is a tale of cruelty and insanity. An insane stranger breaks in the house of a film director and ties him up with his wife and a boy in the room. The strange tries to force the director to kill the boy, otherwise he will cut the fingers of his wife that is a pianist.This segment is very cruel and insane, and has a surprising conclusion.(3) "Box", by Takashi Miike, is a confused tale. The twenty-five-year- old writer Kyoko has nightmares with a box and also with her sister Shoko. One day, she receives an invitation to visit the place where she saw her sister for the last time.This segment is messy and predictable, with a disappointing conclusion. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): Not Available

lewiskendell Three...Extremes is an anthology of three horror films by three respected Asian directors. "Dumplings" - Directed by Fruit Chan In Dumplings, an actress who has entered middle age and begun to lose the attention of her husband to an affair with a younger woman visits Aunt Mei, an old woman who still has the looks of her youth. Aunt Mei has a secret recipe that makes anyone look years younger, but such an unnatural benefit comes from a truly abominable source. I found Dumplings to be absolutely stomach-churning. A horror movie that doesn't even attempt to scare you, but actually tries (and succeeds, in my case) to horrifying you. Not for the squeamish. Even the sound effects eventually became almost more than I could bear. Disturbing and entertaining. - 8/10"Cut" - Directed by Chan-wook Park A talented director and his wife are taken captive by a murderous, utterly insane movie extra. Cut is darkly comedic, utterly absurd, and far more meta than the other movies in this collection. It took me a while to figure out whether I liked it or not, but by the end of the segment, I was won over. Like Dumplings, Cut isn't frightening in the conventional sense. Instead, it's flat-out zany (in a good way). - 7/10"Box" - Directed by Takashi Miike The most haunting of the three segments. Box is about a jealousy-fueled tragic accident involving two young sisters. The surviving sibling suffers from suffocating (literally) dreams and disturbing visions of her deceased sibling, even years later as an adult. Box is probably the creepiest of the three, and it has a psycho-sexual aspect to it that makes the whole thing even more unsettling. Definitely more of an atmospheric, "mood" movie than the other two. - 8/10I liked all three segments, as well as the movie as a whole. I found Dumplings to be the most effective/entertaining, but I recommend the entire anthology. The three short films are not only memorable and very different from one another, but they're also fairly unique among the other horror movies that I've seen. Overall - 8/10
