I know someone's out there.

Hey there, listeners, welcome to horror movie club.

The show where two dudes who are not quite nerds but not quite nobs,

choose a horror movie each week to rate and review.

I'm Brian, I'm on the phone with Ashvin,

and today we are discussing three extremes from 2004.

This is an anthology film directed by Fruit Chan, Park Chanwuk, and

Takashi Miki, written by Park Chanwuk, Haruko Fukushima, and Piqua Li starring Miriam

Young, Beiling, Li Biong, M. Wanhi, and Kyoko Hasagawa. In this film, featuring three separate, and Kiyoko Hasegawa.

In this film featuring three separate segments,

a woman goes through great lengths to reverse the cosmetic effects of aging.

A man and his wife are held hostage,

and a woman confronts a tragic event from her childhood as a circus performer.

This one, oh wait, if you're new to the show,

we're not going to spoil anything until about 20 minutes in.

First, we're going to have some spoiler-free background discussion on the movie.

At that point, we'll take a little break and play a transition music,

and that is the transition into spoiler mode.

So once you hear that music, if you don't want things spoiled,

you can duck out and go watch this on Tooby, Voodoo, Pluto, I think a few other free ad-based streamers have it. So you can go check it out. And this was recently requested by Bang Bang Bill.

And it came at the right time

at the confluence of my own reflections
