From the hugely talented director of A Tale of Two Sisters comes Memories, a harrowing tale of psychological trauma sees a woman wandering the streets having forgotten her own name whilst her husband struggles to remember why she left in the first place. With the discovery of a dead body in the husband’s car it’s not long before the truth begins to rear its ugly head. In The Wheel a group of puppets terrorize a village, causing pain and death at every turn. When the leader of a theatrical troupe tries to destroy them, without much success others begin to steal them, leading to inevitable tragedy. Finally iN Going Home, a policeman – Wai, blunders into the apartment of a man who has been caring for his dead wife for the past three years. It transpires that the man is intent on resurrecting his lost love and Wai is soon forced to befriend him if he is to have any chance of escaping alive.

The first and third films here are great and beautifully shot, the second one is more dull, unoriginal, unscary horror. I wish films like this would stop getting released, they're giving Far East horror films a bad name. It's nearly as bad as watching a tedious, predictable Yank horror, but of course with less money wasted on GM actors and crap CGI. Ignore the Thai film and enjoy the HK and Korean ones.
Another three strange horror tales from Asia. The first story, which is the Korean segment, 'Memories' is the most impressive with the final segment from China, 'Going Home', coming a very close second. I'm afraid the middle Thai section, 'The Wheel', looked great, but lacked any real atmosphere and failed to convey any horror. Just like the first Three Extremes film, we have two cracking little horror tales and a third that disappoints.
