Reviews

Film composto da 3 episodi: nel primo una star in pensione sperimenta una strana dieta per ringiovanire. Nel secondo un regista famoso è minacciato e seviziato da una comparsa e nel terzo episodio una scrittrice è ossessionata dal pensiero della gemella morta per colpa sua e l'espiazione dei suoi peccati non avviene in modo convenzionale...

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting mix of subtle asian horror! 1 Aug 2011
Format:DVD
This is a subtle yet terrifying mix of Korean, Japanese and Hong Kong horror. The film is split into three 40 minute segments starting with "Dumplings". Unlike the others, I was not familiar with Fruit Chan's films, and this is my first. I have seen the full version, and I must admit being absolutely horrified when I first watched this, I think it's truly brilliant. The second segment is "Cut" by Park Wook-Chan, who is known for his vengence trilogy, of which I have seen the latter two. I really enjoyed these, but I was somewhat disappointed with "Cut", its an odd tale, more thriller than horror, and has a subtle twist at the end which I quite like. I think this is similar to his other films, where the ending do have these twists which are unexpected! The final segment from Takashi Miike is called "Box" which is truly bizzare. Its much slower than the other seqments and is lacking in dialogue, its a much more visual experience. Again it wasn't bad just not brilliant.

Overall, an interesting collection of films, I would however, recommend watching the full version of "Dumplings" as this is a truly horrifying experience! Worth a peek!

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 Extremes DVD 14 Feb 2010
By E. Hull
Format:DVD
This trilogy of shorts comprises Dumplings, Cut and Box.
Dumplings indicates the lengths to which human vanity will drive women in an attempt to remain young. The quality of the sound production, precise, delicate and suggestive, together with superb photography make this the best and most coherent of the 3.
Cut is either about a disaffected film extra's desire for revenge, or the 2 halves of a director's personality vying for control - either work!
Box once more uses beautiful photography and a tragic back story to inform a haunting, with a typically Asian strange ending (I love these!).
Nothing like your average Hollywood shockers, enough gore for the 'gorehounds' but no good if you're not prepared to use your brain.
