Blu-ray release: ‘Three’ & ‘Three… Extremes’

By   |  Sep 27, 2025

Arrow Video are bringing the 2002 horror anthology ‘Three’ and its 2004 sequel ‘Three… Extremes’ to US and UK Blu-ray on October 20/21, 2025.

A trio of ghostly tales of terror, each from a different country, form the anthology ‘Three’. Initiated by acclaimed Hong Kong producer and director Peter Chan, the film would prove highly influential in its innovative approach to pan-Asian horror, and lead to the shockingly compelling sequel, ‘Three… Extremes’. Dive into the ultimate omnibus of horror with both films lavishly restored and featuring a wealth of new and archival extras.

Korean genre maestro Kim Jee-Woon (‘A Tale of Two Sisters’) opens ‘Three’ with ‘Memories’, where a husband and wife with no memory of how they fell apart discover the terrifying truth behind their separation. In Thai filmmaker Nonzee Nimibutr’s (‘Nang Nak’) tale of guilt and jealousy, ‘The Wheel’, a puppeteer fears his marionettes are possessed by the spirits of those he has wronged. Finally, in Peter Chan’s ‘Going Home’, a widowed police officer and his young son move into a new apartment and uncover the chilling secret behind their new neighbour and his seemingly comatose wife.

‘Three… Extremes’ unforgettable first story, ‘Dumplings’, directed by celebrated filmmaker Fruit Chan (‘Made in Hong Kong’), sees an ageing actor discover that the dumplings she’s been eating for their miraculous rejuvenating benefits contain an unsavoury secret ingredient. Next, in Korean legend ’s (‘Oldboy’) segment ‘Cut’, a wealthy filmmaker is caught in a twisted game when a vindictive actor takes his wife hostage. Finally, Japanese Master of Horror ’s (‘Audition’) segment, ‘Box’, sees a novelist plagued by nightmares of her past as a child circus performer with her long-lost twin sister, until she receives a mysterious invitation to return to the site of her old circus.
