The premise

Features an anthology centred on the experiences of a witch doctor, a film-maker and a disgruntled extra determined to take revenge on him, and a novelist as well as her twin sister.

Horror Vault's take

Three of Asia's most distinctive horror directors each deliver a standalone short in this chilling anthology, weaving together tales of desperate desires and transgressive acts from Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea. From grotesque culinary rituals to a surreal war between a filmmaker and a scorned extra, to a novelist drawn into a haunting labyrinth of identity, each segment pushes psychological and physical boundaries in its own unsettling way. The result is a showcase of extreme Asian horror at its most artful and uncompromising — not for the faint-hearted.
