3 Extremes II

Year: 2002

Duration: 140 min

A trio of Asian directors--from South Korea, Thailand, and Hong Kong--joins forces to create an original omnibus horror film composed of three hair-raising segments. Starting with Jee-woon Kim's "Memories", an amnesiac, disoriented woman struggles to connect the dots while wandering the streets. As her husband tries to understand, ghastly apparitions demand the truth. Then, in Nonzee Nimibutr's "The Wheel", cursed puppets imbued with the darkest of magic cause pain, harm, and death to their unsuspecting owners. When an unwise antagonist tries to get his hands on the damned artefacts, he will soon discover that evil is contagious. Finally, in Peter Ho-Sun Chan's "Going Home", a widowed police officer searching for his missing son stumbles upon a blood-curdling secret hidden right under everyone's noses. As madness prevails, only death can set them free.—Nick Riganas
