    A Serviceable At Best Asian Horror Anthology
    An ominous package consisting of three short films by different Asian filmmakers, Three suffers from the same set of issues that plague most anthology films. Each story has its positives & negatives. Each tackles an intriguing idea which it fails to explore or execute to the fullest. And coz of that, the end product as a whole feels decent at best.

    The first short is Memories. Directed by Kim Jee-woon, it benefits from its ominous mood, flexible camerawork & smooth tracking in addition to excellent use of sound. The story isn't that riveting or original but the execution of the plot is still the best of the bunch. The uneasy aura, foreboding tone & graphic imagery alone make it look better than it actually is.

    The second one is a Thai short called The Wheel. Directed by Nonzee Nimibutr, it is the least impressive of the three segments. It deals with puppet & voodoo elements but its characters remain distant while unfolding events fails to pique our interest. A better grasp of Thai culture may alleviate some confusion but that still won't make it better than the other two stories.

    The third & final short is Going Home. Directed by Peter Chan, it is easily the most original of the three. The concept is an interesting one and the inhospitable setting & creepy vibe provide the right environment for the plot to unfurl. What undoes it in the end however is its half-hearted execution & overdone sentimentality. Compared to the other two, it still leaves a better impression.

    Overall, Three makes for a serviceable horror anthology that's satisfying to an extent but there is nothing about it that stands out from the norm. Kim Jee-woon's name in it is why I went for it and although his segment impresses in bits n pieces, he is capable of much more than what he delivers here. Horror anthologies are more a miss than hit, and Three unfortunately ends up with the same fate as most.
