"The Three" is a horror movie which spotlights Chinese and Asian supernatural sensibilities. It was shot in Hong Kong, Thailand and Korea and features a cast from across the continent. Directed by three acclaimed Asian directors, the three short films explore the supernatural as well as the dark sides of humanity.
The Wheel:
Nimibutr Nonzee, one of Thailand's most successful directors with his ghost film "Nang Nak" and another blockbuster "Jan Dara," is responsible for a epsiode called "Reincarnation." The "Wheel" protrays the voodoo power of a cursed puppet. Starring Suwinit Panjamawat.
Memory:
Unlike the work Korean director Kim Jee-Woon's best known for, "Memory" is bereft of humor, and is all dark eerie visuals. This short is a surreal story about a woman who loses her memory in a weired town.
The Photo Studio:
On board for Peter Chan's segment, "The Photo Studio" - a gruesome tale of a child's discovery of a dead body - is a desparate bunch of screen talent. Capturing the film's look is multi-award winning director of photography Christopher Doyle. On screen we have both Eric Tsang and Leon Lai. Eric and Peter's partnership goes back to the mid-80s when they both worked on "Armour of God." Chan's 1997 offering, "Comrades, almost a love story," starred Maggie Cheung and Leon, won a record-breaking nine Hong Kong Film Awards. |
