Three... Extremes




The Good:

The second short - Dumplings - is one of the most horrible things I have ever seen in a horror film. It doesn't show much - honestly - but that is much worse because the things you imagine are so much more twisted than anything they could show you. I can't say more because it would ruin the surprise.

The Bad:
The first short - Box - and the third short - Cut - both leave much to be desired. Box tries to tell you a creepy story of retribution for past sins - but is just mediocre and somewhat pedophilic at parts. The third, Cut, has a good psychological basis ala Fight Club - but just never quite gets there.

All in all:
This is a must see simply for Dumplings. Even if you skip the other two - which are enjoyable if not completely successful - don't miss Dumplings.
