Three Extremes - 2004


Love the asian horror movies. This is three movies in one using three different directors from Japan, Korea, and China. Not for the faint of heart, and definately not with children, as all seem to have some kind of implied (at least) violence towards children....or, no can't ruin the surprise of it all. Very disturbing, I like it the way I like Texas Chainsaw, House of 1000 Corpses, About Henry, et. Not something that can be watched without feeling way disturbed about, but the orginality of these films and the unexpectedness get me every time. As with most Asian films, the translation or dubed in lines make me think I have missed something in the end. Never sure if I am just not too bright, or they like to keep a bit of vagueness and keep one guessing. I actually don't mind that so much anymore, gets your imagination going, and you can come to your own conclusions. Just wish I knew whether that is what they were doing or not.
