Synopsis

A beautiful female novelist, still guilt-ridden over the childhood death of her twin sister, receives a mysterious invitation to meet at the site of her sister’s demise… more…

A retired actress longing to retain her beauty seeks the rejuvenating effects of a doctor’s “special” dumplings, only to discover they contain one horrifying ingredient…

A film director is abducted by a vengeful stranger and forced to make an impossible choice that will change his life forever…

Exploring the outer limits of the macabre, … EXTREMES is a bracing triptych of horror stories uniting three of East Asia’s most compelling directors – Japanese cult figure Takashi Miike, Hong Kong’s Fruit Chan, and Korea’s award-winning PARK Chan-Wook. Using distinctive cinematic styles that span dream-like minimalism, savage comedy and baroque horror, these cutting-edge directors penetrate the dark heart of desire, examining the ghastly urges that transform ordinary people into monsters. Stylish, twisted and laced with haunting imagery, THREE … EXTREMES breaks the bounds of genre cinema, confirming the visionary talent of three master directors.
