Three... Extremes (Hong Kong/Japan/South Korea, 2004)

Three... Extremes is a East Asian horror film collaboration consisting of three segments by three directors from three countries. Fruit Chan from Hong Kong, Park Chan-wook (The Vengeance-trilogy, Thirst) from South Korea and Takashi Miike (13 Assassins, Ichi the Killer) from Japan. Those are some big names in the Asian film industry, so if that doesn't catch your interest, I don't know what does. 

Dumplings - An aging actress wishing to reclaim her youth goes to a woman who makes dumplings that supposedly have regenerative properties; however, they contain a gruesome secret ingredient.

Cut - A successful film director and his wife are kidnapped by an extra, who forces the director to play his sadistic games. 

Box - A soft spoken young woman has a bizarre recurring nightmare about being buried in a box in the snow.

Genre: Horror/Thriller
