And Despair, I don't understand the love for Box. Maybe I should check it out again. I may have missed something...

I thought, of the three shorts, Box was my favorite. I thought that Miike really did well in slowly building up atmosphere (as he generally does) and the surrounding mystery around the twins. I would say that my only problem with it was the very end of it, but I'm willing to forgive it. Of the three, this was the one that actually creeped me out.
Cut was absolute brilliance and again Park shines.
Dumplings was good - I think that it's really the epitome of Chinese and Hong Kong horror - It was really interesting to watch, though slow at times.

As for
me, I finally got around to watching Ricky-Oh: Story of Ricky. An absolutely brilliant piece of Japanese Schlock, Ricky-Oh is a pure kung fu splatter-fest. Exploding heads, fists going through bodies... What more can you ask for? A-/A
