trailer looks pretty intersting, so check it out.

the 3 japanese masters of horror that direct this film are:

Fruit Chan
Takashi Miike
Chan-wook Park

i haven't seen any of their films, but Takashi Miike was supposedly one of Eli Roth's influences when making Hostel and he appeard as one of the "clients" in the film: the japanese who, when asked by paxton how it was inside the "art gallery", replied "be careful. you could spend all of your money in there".

imdb site: http://imdb.com/title/tt0420251/
official site: http://www.threeextremes.com/

from what i can gather, it looks like the movie is a collection of 3 horror films each by a different director.

release date: October 28, 2006

just have to wait and see.

Chan-wook Park is Korean. He's the director of Oldboy, which kicks ass.

Takashi Miike did Audition, Visitor Q, and Ichi the Killer, among others. I didn't realize that was him in Hostel. But yeah, he does some seriously graphic shit.

The limited release date was actually October 28th, 2005. I'm not sure if it will come to this area. I can pretty much guarantee you it wouldn't do that much business. That being said, if it does come it'll probably be at Galaxy Cinema.

does lion's gate make any non fucked up films?

1/30/2006 12:47:07 PM

Lions Gate didn't make this film. But yeah, they mainly distribute horror shit these days.

1/30/2006 12:49:58 PM

just got done watching this

"Dumplings" was meh...dead baby eating galore, but no real aspect that makes me want to see it again.

the other two, however....were mindfucks, as expected.

"Cut" was the best, by far

I expected alot more from "The Box," which was done by Takishi Miike, but it turned out kinda dull

kick-ass twists that will make me rewatch them both though

I know this is sorta off topic, but since some people in here how knowledge of asain movies, i was just wondering if someone could tell me the name of a movie i have been wanting to see.

I saw clips of it this past halloween on some show, 101 scariest movie moments or some shit like that. but it was about this girl who tourchures(sp?) some guy through out the who movie i think. it is suppose to be real fucked up. it was a japanese movie i am pretty sure. if someone could help me out it would be awesome, i have been wanting to see this movie for awhile now, i just can't find out the title of it. thnx
