Three (2002 Anthology Film)

Three (also known as Saam gaang) is a 2002 horror anthology film consisting of three distinct segments, each directed by a filmmaker from a different Asian country: South Korea, Thailand, and Hong Kong. The project highlights regional approaches to the horror genre, focusing on psychological tension and supernatural themes.

Memories

Directed by Kim Jee-woon, the South Korean segment Memories follows a man searching for his wife after she disappears. While he experiences disturbing visions regarding her fate, the wife awakens on a road with amnesia. She discovers a handbag and attempts to piece together the events leading up to her accident while navigating an indifferent and hostile urban environment.

The Wheel

The Thai segment, The Wheel, is directed by Nonzee Nimibutr. The story centers on a skilled Kohn performer who acquires a trunk of antique puppets. After incorporating them into his act, his physical health begins to decline. The narrative explores the premise that the puppets are cursed, bringing misfortune and death to those around them.

Going Home

Directed by Peter Chan, the Hong Kong segment Going Home follows a police officer named Chan Wai who moves into an isolated apartment building with his son. After his son goes missing, Chan investigates the building and encounters a neighbor—a doctor—who is keeping his deceased wife in their home, treating her as if she were still alive in the hope that she will eventually return to life.
