From the Arrow press release:
On October 21, the two horror anthologies Three / Three… Extremes reveal six frightening tales by high profile directors from Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Thailand. The limited edition Blu-ray features a brand new 2K restorations of both films, packed with hours of special features.
Three unites a trio of short films about forgotten events, curses, and resurrections. “Memories” by Kim Jee-woon (I Saw the Devil) features a husband visiting a psychiatrist to recover his memory of what happened on the day his wife disappeared. His wife wakes up in a housing complex with no recollection of how she arrived there. “The Wheel” by Nonzee Nimibutr (Nang Nak) exposes the supernatural force within traditional Thai puppets. A puppet master swears he’s cursed by his puppets after a drastic deed involving his family. A widowed cop discovers his neighbor is using Chinese medicine to fix things with his wife in “Going Home” by Peter Ho-Sun Chan (Comrades: Almost a Love Story).
Three… Extremes amps up the horror with a trio of directors eager to shock the audience. “Dumplings,” directed by Fruit Chan (Made in Hong Kong), explores the unthinkable extremes a person will embrace to regain their youth. Mrs. Li (Miriam Yeung, Anna of Kung-Fu Land) wants to get rid of her wrinkles, so she visits the mystical Mei (Bai Ling, The Crow), whose rejuvenating dumplings contain a surprising secret ingredient. Directed by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), “Cut” centers on the kidnapping of a director and his wife by an actor who had been an extra in his films. A novelist recalls her bizarre and abusive time in the circus with her sister for “Box” by director Takashi Miike (Audition).
