Part of Enzian’s 13+ Films of Halloween!
20th Anniversary – 35mm Screening!
Three Tales of Terror! Exploring the outer limits of the macabre, THREE…EXTREMES is a bracing anthology of horror films uniting a trio of East Asia’s most compelling directors: Japan’s maverick Takashi Miike (AUDITION, ICHI THE KILLER), internationally acclaimed South Korean director Park Chan-wook (OLDBOY, THE HANDMAIDEN), and Hong Kong cult favorite Fruit Chan (THREE HUSBANDS).
“Dumplings”: An aging actress (Bai Ling, THE CROW) wishing to reclaim her youth goes to a woman who makes dumplings that supposedly have regenerative properties; however, they contain a gruesome secret ingredient.
“Cut”: A successful film director (Lee Byung-hun, I SAW THE DEVIL) and his wife are kidnapped by an extra who forces the director to play his sadistic games. If he fails, his wife’s fingers will be chopped off one by one every five minutes.
“Box”: A soft-spoken young woman has a bizarre recurring nightmare about being buried in a box in the snow. Searching for her long-lost sister, she realizes her dreams and reality may possibly be connected.

“This is not for the faint of heart, stomach or any other vital organ.”
– E! ONLINE -
“While most anthology films have one standout and one weak link, all three tales are short, sharp shockers.”
– Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE -
“What all three of these stories share is the quality found in Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King: An attention to horror as it emerges from everyday life as transformed by fear, fantasy and depravity.”
– Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
