THREE


Three (a.k.a. Three...Extremes II) is a 2002 Asian horror film. Despite its international name, the film is actually the original movie and predecessor in name and concept to the more famous Three...Extremes released in 2004. The movie consists of three segments directed by three different directors and in three different languages in the following order:
Memories, South Korean segment directed by Ji-woon Kim, and starring Hye-su Kim, Bo-seok Jeong, and Jeong-won Choi.
The Wheel, Thai segment directed by Nonzee Nimibutr, and starring Suwinit Panjamawat, Kanyavae Chatiawaipreacha, and Pornchai Chuvanon.
Going Home, Hong Kong segment directed by Peter Chan, and starring Leon Lai, Eric Tsang, and Eugenia Yuan.

MEMORIES
In the first short, a woman wakes up on a street and she is totally disoriented. She has no idea where she is and how to get back home. Meanwhile, a husband cannot remember why his wife left him and he has no idea what connections there are between her disappearance and his constant visions of a black haired creepy-looking woman.

THE WHEEL
After a Thai puppet master dies one of his disciples take over. Later one, he realizes that his master didn't die an ordinary death; he died because of a curse, a curse brought about by the improper ownership of ancient puppets. It seems that the puppets belong to their proper master, and whoever dares to claim them will suffer a horrible death.

GOING HOME
In Hong Kong a single father decides to move to a new apartment complex with his son. Since they first move, the young kid senses that there is something that's not quite right about their neighbors. After the little boy gets lost, his father decides to look for him only to end up being kidnap by a crazy neighbor who thinks he can resurrect his long since dead wife.
