Another Three: Monster (aka Three Extreme) Trailer Hits ...

A while back on the Movie Blog I posted a link to a trailer for Chan Wook Park's submission to the anthology film Three: Monster - known as Three: Extreme in Hong Kong - and was mighty happy to do so. This is Park's first film following his powerhouse effort in OldBoy and the trailer - still available here - seemed to be a chilling continuation of the style he'd developed so strongly in that earlier film. Adding to the excitement was the fact this film was part of a three part anthology with the other submissions coming courtesy of Japanese shock-master Takashi Miike and Hong Kong's Fruit Chan.

My early assumption was that Park's would be the strongest of the three submissions, followed closely by Miike with Chan - who is not at all known for this sort of genre fare - bringing up a distant third. Then the reviews started to hit and, frankly, Chan's looks to be pretty easily the most disturbing concept of the three. Yeah. The trailer for his section - titled Dumplings - is out now. Shudder. You'll never look at Chinese food the same way again ... check it out here.
