Extreme Asian horror

Horror films still live, jump and breathe in Asia. An example of horror's pan-Asian appeal came a couple of years ago in the form of Three, which brought together directors from Thailand (Nonzee Nimibutr), Korea and Hong Kong to make a film out of three short horror stories.

There's now a new instalment in the series, Three -- Extremes, which brings together Korea's Park Chan-Wook, Japan's Takeshi Miike and Hong Kong's Fruit Chan. The film is showing in Bangkok right now.

I missed the first Three, and it's difficult to find in subtitled form. So I'll be sure to catch this latest one, especially as I have enjoyed other films by Park and Miike.

On the heels of the current Thai horror hit, Shutter, it's a lot of horror for me to take in.
