REVIEW:
Three years after Hollywood's commercially successful remake of Ringu introduced Western civilization to the notion of Asian horror, I still have yet to figure out what the fuss (or perhaps fright) is all about. Subsequent remakes, like The Grudge, were mostly boring endeavors laced with intermittent 'what the...?' moments, while the precious few actual Asian films to secure distribution, among them The Eye and the unwatchable Gozu, proved - in this critic's estimation, anyway - tedious exercises in atmosphere that built to moments that asked not merely 'what the...?' but 'what the hell was I thinking wasting my time on this?'
Needless to say, I entered Three... Extremes, an Asian horror anthology, no less, with a bit of trepidation.
Thankfully, I was fully satisfied by the trio of twisted tales, at least in regards to my previous experiences with such films: They were just as filled with weird and wild moments as their predecessors, and yet having familiarized myself with the vagaries of the underlying formulas (a creepy scenario + gross-out imagery + incest = atmosphere galore) I never once asked 'what the...?'
Truth be told, the main attraction for me was the second story, Cut. The forty minute short was conceived by director Park Chan-Wook, whose previous film Oldboy I loved, and whom I suspect was slighted grievously by someone in a past life (if not this one), as he excels in revenge tales. Here, a film director named Ryu (Byung-hun Lee) finds himself and his wife at the mercy of an extra who is quite literally insane with jealousy at his success both personally and professionally; before long - and much like in Oldboy - Ryu must make a choice that might compromise not only his life, but his entire system of beliefs. Suffice it to say that the man who once chronicled a ten-to-one showdown in one unbroken, bloody take pulls no punches capturing Ryu's decision in devastating detail.
