Genre : Horror / Thriller
Shot in Hong Kong, Thailand and Korea and featuring a cast from across the continent. Directed by three acclaimed Asian directors, the three short films explore the supernatural as well as the dark sides of humanity. The Wheel portrays the voodoo power of a cursed puppet who terrorises everyone who encounters it. Memory is bereft of humour, and is all dark eerie visuals. A short, surreal story about a woman who loses her memory in a strange town. Going Home is the story of a man searching for his missing son. He breaks into a neighbour's apartment and finds a body immersed in a bath of bloody water.
The Wheel. A puppet master dies, saying that his puppets are cursed and should be destroyed. The leader of a troupe of actors, jealous of the puppet shows success, steals them. You can guess the rest.
Memories. A man and his son worry about their missing wife and mother. Meanwhile a woman, who appears to suffer from amnesia, is trying to find her way home. No-one will talk to her, sometimes people don't even appear to see her..........
Going Home. Definately the best of the three. Difficult to describe, without giving everything away. Worth getting for this segment alone.
I should have stayed and watched the third part - we walked out of the cinema after the first 2. That was the first time I ever walked out of a film at the cinema. If you buy the DVD I guess it would make an efficient beer mat.
