TWO ANTHOLOGY FILMS, SIX GHOSTLY TALES OF TERROR, ACCLAIMED DIRECTORS FROM HONG KONG, KOREA, THAILAND AND JAPAN. THE ULTIMATE OMNIBUS OF HORROR.A trio of ghostly tales of terror, e ach from a different country, form the anthology Three. Initiated by acclaimed Hong Kong producer and director Peter Ho-Sun Chan, the film would prove highly influential in its innovative approach to pan-Asian horror, and lead to the shockingly compelling sequel, Three... Extremes. Dive into the ultimate omnibus of horror with both films lavishly restored and featuring a wealth of new and archival extras. Korean genre maestro Kim Jee-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters) opens Three with "Memories", where a husband and wife with no memory of how they fell apart discover the terrifying truth behind their separation. In Thai filmmaker Nonzee Nimibutr's (Nang Nak) tale of guilt and jealousy, "The Wheel", a puppeteer fears his marionettes are possessed by the spirits of those he has wronged. Finally, in Peter Ho-Sun Chan's "Going Home", a widowed police officer and his young son move into a new apartment and uncover the chilling secret behind their new neighbor and his seemingly comatose wife. Three... Extremes' unforgettable first story, "Dumplings", directed by celebrated filmmaker Fruit Chan (Made in Hong Kong), sees an aging actor discover that the dumplings she's been eating for their miraculous rejuvenating benefits contain an unsavory secret ingredient. Next, in Korean legend Park Chan-wook's (Oldboy) segment "Cut", a wealthy filmmaker is caught in a twisted game when a vindictive actor takes his wife hostage. Finally, Japanese Master of Horror Takashi Miike's (Audition) segment, "Box", sees a novelist plagued by nightmares of her past as a child circus performer with her long-lost twin sister, until she receives a mysterious invitation to return to the site of her old circus.
