YesAsia Editorial Description
Plunge into Three tales of super natural excitement!
Canto superstars Leon Lai and See also: official links!
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. - Going Home
On board for Peter Chan's segment, Going Home - 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.
This film is also visually impressive with the gimmick, in which Leon, the female lead, and two children appear dreadfully as a lying ghost in various advertisements. This box-office hit from Peter is another notable entry to the must-see horror list of 2002 after The Eye.
Leon Lai won the Best Leading Actor while Christopher Doyle also won the Best Cinematography in the the 39th Golden Horse Awards.

Well done Leon
| The Korean story seems predictable but keeps you guessing and thinking a bit. In the end it all makes sense. Quite enjoyable. I am afraid I do not like the Thai story, perhaps lacking of cultural understanding? However the Chinese story was just superb. It was so cleverly done, well supported by Tsang and without having to look handsome, Leon proves he has good acting skill. Very moving in a way, you might even shed a few tears. Just concentrate in watching and you will enjoy it tremendously. |

great in a sense of artistic
| I was really fond of the first two stories (korean one and the chinese one, forgot the names) but the last one was ehhh.. not scary and been done before. I felt that the first story provided nice cimetography and storyline but as you watch more horror movies, it's nothng special. The second one i liked alot. The storyline and acting was well put and the silence left you thinking about the in a strange twisted events that the couple lead. The third one was just not good and did not compliment the others two. You should definetely watch it not for "silence horror" not "blood and gore horror" if u get what i mean. |

It wasn't scary...
| If you really like suspense or horror movies, this movie isn't for you. It is eerie in some parts, but otherwise isn't scary at all. I bought this based on the reviews in addtion to it being listed amongst some of my other favorite Asian Suspense/Horror movies, but I was quite let down. However, in terms of cinematography and acting, this movie was quite well done. |

excellent movie
|
Somehow Leon Lai can be a great actor (I personally don't like his songs much) and his act in this movie is superb. No wonder he won the best-actor award. He is well worth the award! Between the "four Kings of music", Leon can live on the longest - not singing though but acting. I think he can continue to act good even when he grows old later - he can always choose the right role to play. Andy Lau's acting is too "surface" and shallow and the other two are dead already (in movies, I mean). |
