3/4
"This high profile anthology of shorts by Fruit Chan, Park Chan-wook, and Takashi Miike is related by their chilling structuralist rigor."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B+
"So you'd like to see work from a few Asian horror directors, but don't have time to watch three separate movies? Then here's the sampler platter you're looking for!"  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

3.5/4
"A great horror anthology that thankfully restores my faith in the anthology gimmick that Hollywood completely diminished years ago..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

B+
"Not a dish for the faint of heart, perhaps, but for those with a taste for cruelty with a side order of irony and a dash of gore, it will be a perversely delicious treat."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3.5/4
"The consistently high production values and legitimately creepy storylines ensure that even those who don’t consider themselves horror fans will likely feel satisfied after this three-course meal."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

4/5
"These three directors were allowed to do anything they wanted as long as it was, as the title says, extreme. Believe me, they took it to heart."  Film Threat  Jeremy Knox

5/10
"Park is the one director represented here with both a great "extreme" tale and the means at his disposal to tell it to full effect."  All Movie Guide  Josh Ralske

3/4
"While most anthology films have one standout and one weak link, all three tales are short, sharp shockers."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3/4
"Takes the tension to an extreme by deliberately trying to shock the audience's sensibility"  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

3.5/5
"Unevenness is the strongest facet of Three… Extremes, a diverse and successfully chilling horror triptych."  Filmcritic.com  Nick Schager

B
"Don't expect scary from this trilogy of short horror films from a trio of Asia's most interesting directors, which are not so much extreme as twisted."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
