disgusting, overrated, pointless

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Very entertaining if your interest lies in the cross cultural views of the supernatural. The acting and production values are very high. For fans of scary movies and those scared of the dark, this rates at least an 8 and is a must-see. For non-fans of the genre and those lacking the appropriate phobias, it's a way to learn how to scare your friends.The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project, The Shining and Psycho may be thought of as Western views of the para-normal which evokes fear and discomfort in the the viewer. The unknown and unexplainable often generate that eerie and queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach, or awaken a simple sense of curiosity. Are you afraid of what is behind the curtain or do you want to see what's there? Three is a good way of measuring your Asian Fear Quotient.

Peter Chan's 'Going Home' makes this collection worth watching. A haunting examination of loss and and the clash between Eastern and Western ideologies, 'Going Home' paints an elegiac portrait of isolation and longing in modern day Asia. The cool colors set a mood of emptiness and despair, while the understated performances are poetic in their simplicity. The child actor who plays Cheung is simply amazing; his emotions are utterly convincing and it's easy to forget that he's acting.Unfortunately, the other two pieces, 'Memories' and 'Wheel', leave much to be desired. 'Memories' somehow manages to be tense and predictable at the same time, so I have to give the director credit for at least being able to instill some sense of terror in the audience. But ultimately, the hackneyed plot is yawn inducing, though the scenes are shot beautifully.Finally, that leaves 'Wheel', a confusing mess if there ever was one. Throughout the short, I kept wondering if censorship was the reason I hadn't been scared yet.All in all, most would probably be happier renting Saam Gaang. Although regardless of your decision, I am sure that 'Going Home' will spark some thought-provoking conversation on the dangers of globalization and the dilution of culture to Americanization.

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** The first story of Three (memories) was the best of all of them. It was chilling, surprising and got me caring about the female character. Then the second story kicked in and i got sufficiently bored. Not that it didn't have shock elements and creepy imagery. Because it did. But it just didnt present it in a way that frightened me. Then came the third movie.------------SPOILERS FOLLOW--------------------------------------------SPOILERS FOLLOW--------------------------------Ok, i'll have to admit i wasnt paying attention too much for this one. Some guy's handphone went off exactly 7 times during the whole thing and it sorta lost the atmosphere for me. But i must say that it was disturbing. And the twist at the end... that his treatment actually worked... that was amazing. best ending ever. but still the overall effect was truly disappointing, especially after seeing Dark Water and The Eye.
