I think this short story is a masterpiece, smart, provocative, very well acted and directed, and wonderfully shot by freaking Roger Deakins, it reminded me of the best body horror from Cronenberg, it was successful enough to get a stand alone full lenght version but, even with the same people involved, felt bloated and unnecessary but maybe it's because I was spoiled by this one.
The other stories aren't bad, Miike's ghost story is competent but was disappointing because he was so restrained, Park Chan's segment is more interesting and wild but also a bit of a disappointment, despite my criticisms overall this is one of my favorite horror anthologies, it's only that I hold these directors in such a high standard that I always expect more.
