Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you a
three-part horror film: "Three, Saam Gaang"! Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care!
The first story is called 'Memories'. A man wakes up on a couch. He sees a
doll on the floor, which suddenly turns to face him. A woman is sitting on the floor,
rocking back and forth. The man sits up, and the woman turns to face him. Getting scared,
the man turns on the lamp beside him. The man goes to see a doctor. He tells the
doctor that the symptoms started after his wife disappeared. The doctor replies that he might be
experiencing mental dissociation. The loss of a loved one might have made him unstable, and
unable to remember things. The husband states that he cannot remember why his wife might have left,
or even what she was wearing when she left. He admits to the doctor that he has been seeing
strange things, and that he thinks that something bad has happened to his wife.
After the consultation, the husband drives home to his apartment in New Town. On the way home,
he sees the aftermath of a car accident. The husband watches as the female victim is
hauled out of her car and brought to safety. Meanwhile, the man's wife wakes up in the middle
of the street. She looks at her surroundings, but is uncertain where she is and why she's there.
She doesn't remember anything. She looks through her belongings, and sees a receipt
with her home number on it. She heads to a restaurant to try and call the number.
While at a parking lot, a security guard approaches the husband. They talk;
and the guard tells him that the building is weird. He tells the story of how one time,
when he was patrolling the building late at night, he saw a bunch of clothes and a dead girl in the
building. He also saw a man sitting quietly in the darkness, just a few feet away from the girl.
The wife arrives at a restaurant. However, the people there pay her no attention.
She finally gets to a phone, and calls the number; but there is no response.
She looks outside and sees a young girl running in the street. She chases after the girl.
The girl boards a school bus; and the wife is unable to reach her.
That night, the husband arrives home with his daughter. He plays his answering machine,
and hears a message containing only heavy breathing. The doorbell suddenly rings. His wife's
sister and brother-in-law enter the room. They ask him what happened; but he also doesn't
know. He asks the sister if his wife has called her; but this offends her, and she leaves to
listen to the answering machine. The husband gets angry, and tells her that his wife hasn't called.
His temper scares everyone in the room. The husband tells them the story of how he
passed a car crash on the way home. He tells them that he has a feeling that something bad has
happened to his wife. Meanwhile, the wife tries to locate her husband through a phonebook.
She finds their address and enters a taxi. When she asks the driver to bring her to
the apartments, the driver does not say a word. The wife tries to leave;
but the driver suddenly drives forward. They pass the apartments as the driver continues
to ignore her. When the driver pulls over to receive a call, the wife runs out of the car.
Back at home, the wife's sister looks around the house. She opens a cabinet, and finds photos
of her sister and his wife. They soon leave and take their niece with them. Left alone,
the husband starts seeing visions of his missing wife in the house. He lies down on the sofa,
and sees the shadow of his wife in the house. She walks toward him, with blood dripping from
her leg. She drives her finger deep inside her ear, and mutilates herself. The husband wakes up
from the nightmare. He finds his wife lying bloody on the floor of their bedroom. She suddenly moves,
startling him. He wakes up once more, and finds out that it was just another nightmare.
Meanwhile, the woman walks to a gas station. She enters the restroom and washes up.
She finds her arms covered in bruises. Suddenly, severed fingers start to drop into the sink.
She gets glimpses of what happened, the night before she woke up on the street.
She later finds her way back to the apartment, and gets another flashback. It is revealed that
her husband murdered her, by bashing her head in with a rock on the rooftop of their apartment.
She finally realizes that she is only a ghost. This is why the driver and the others paid her
no attention. The husband is also wracked by guilt and trauma from killing his wife;
hence the nightmares and the visions. She watches helplessly as her husband sleeps on the sofa.
the husband wakes up in the morning. He peeks into the black bag on the living room floor. Inside it
is his wife's severed and mutilated remains. He brings the black bag to his car, and drives out
of town to dispose of his wife's body. The second story is called 'The Wheel'
One rainy evening, a boy and his mother drown in the river, with a traditional dancing puppet.
The family patriarch and owner of the puppet, Master Tao, is sleeping. He talks in his sleep,
revealing that whoever shall take his puppets, will die an agonizing death. His puppets are
imbued with his own life and soul. If Tao dies, then his puppets should die with him.
Shortly after, Tao wakes up from his sleep, and finds the ghosts of his son
and wife in front of him. His apprentice, Gaan, enters the room and calms him down.
Gaan is unable to see the ghosts. The next morning, the village holds a funeral
for Tao's wife and children. At the funeral, Gaan is approached by Master Tong, Tao's rival and a
teacher of an ancient dance, called Khon. Gaan tells Tong that there is a curse on the puppets;
but Tong is unconvinced. He thinks that Tao is simply making the curse up, because he
doesn't want anyone to take his prized puppets. That night, Tao's room suddenly catches on fire.
Tong and other members of their performing troupe, arrive in time to extinguish the fire before
it burns the house down. but it is already too late for Tao. He has already burned to death.
The other performers express their fear about Tao, and the curse of his puppets.
However, Tong doesn't believe them and hatches a scheme. In their culture, puppeteers like Tao are
well-respected; while dancers like Tong and his students hide behind masks and are seen
as lowly performers. Jealous of Tao's status and prestige, Tong decides to steal Tao's puppet.
Later that night, Tong sneaks out of bed and enter's Tao's room.
He brings the puppet to the river and washes it. However, he suddenly gets pulled into the river.
Gaan, who saw Tong leave his bed, dives into the river and pulls Tong out. The puppet floats to
the top, just as Gaan leaves Tong alone. The next day, Tong teaches his students how to
dance. He calls Gaan over and offers to teach him how to dance. Another student teases Gaan,
stating that he might dance like the wooden puppets that Tao taught him to use.
For the next few days, the troupe is tormented by the puppet's curse.
A Khon performer dies after suffocating from his own mask. Tong's daughter also starts playing with
the puppet. Her grandmother tries to confiscate the mask, but is interrupted by an unseen force.
She suddenly drops dead to the ground. The following morning, Gaan reminds Tong to
be careful of the puppet's curse. However, Tong is adamant about keeping the puppet.
He decides to cut and dismantle the doll, in an effort to lift the curse.
Meanwhile, another member of their troupe succumbs to the curse. She puts on make-up and dances
outside Tong's room. She later hangs herself. That night, Gaan is awakened by a strange sensation.
He opens the front door, but sees no one there. The suicided dancer stands in the doorway in front
of Gaan; but he's unable to see her. The performing troupe's life continues.
Gaan falls in love with one of his co-performers. Tong assumes the role of puppet master.
He claims ownership over all the puppets in the troupe, and tells his students that he
alone controls the puppets' spirits. Gaan shares glances with his crush.
Unbeknown to them, Tong's son watches them with jealousy. At the same time,
Tong's daughter breaks the leg of a puppet. This sensation reverberates with Tong;
and his own leg gets injured. He and the puppet are now connected.
Later that day, Tong's son approaches him. He accuses his father of favoring Gaan over him.
Tong tells him that Gaan is more experienced, and truly deserves the role. This pushes the
son to drink alone that night, while the rest of the troupe performs on stage.
After the performance, Gaan and his crush play a sweet hormone game. Tong gets nightmares of the
puppet's curse. He wakes up and sees Tao's ghost standing in front of him. This scares
him. He grabs a sword and starts swinging. He accidentally hits a lamp. It falls to the
floor and explodes, setting the room on fire. He starts cutting up two puppets inside a trunk.
The fire gets out of control; and Tong burns to death inside the house.
At the same time, Tong's son confronts Gaan and his lover, in a drunken fit of rage and jealousy.
Like his father with the puppets, the son slashes at Gaan and his lover with a sword.
After they die, two flame apparitions appear, scaring the son. He runs away.
Unable to save his father from the burning house, the son grabs his sister; and they ride a boat
to escape. However, he is terrified upon learning that her sister has brought Tao's puppet with her.
The sister smiles and jumps into the river. Her brother jumps in to save her, but fails.
Shortly after, the son wakes up, and finds himself safe on the banks of the river.
He looks up, and sees the ghost of Gaan and his lover sitting above him on a tree.
The ghost of his sister also appears. She raises a sword and kills her own brother.
The scene returns to Gaan saving Tong from the river. Tong had just stolen Tao's puppet, and was
trying to wash the puppet when he got pulled in. It is revealed that everything that has happened
so far, was only a premonition, a vision of what is to come if Tong keeps Tao's puppet. Regardless,
Tong decides to keep the puppet for himself, bringing the tragic fate onto himself,
his family, and his troupe! The last story is called 'Going Home'
Old photos hang on the wall of a photography studio. Inside, a man gets his photograph
taken. He then walks out of the studio. Meanwhile, a retired cop walks to his new
apartment with his son. The son stops in his tracks upon hearing an eerie noise,
coming from an abandoned store with a chained-up gate. he quickly runs away.
Retired-cop and his son soon reach the apartment complex. The son notices another
child waving at him from the apartment's roof. Retired-cop meets with the landlord,
who tells them that everyone is moving out, and that the place is about to be demolished.
While they are shown around, the son runs into their neighbor, a man named Yury. The landlord
informs them that Yury's wife is paralyzed from the waist down. Yury's daughter follows
closely behind him, wearing a red dress. She's the child waving to the boy from the roof.
That night, Retired-Cop leaves for work. The son admits that he is too afraid to go to the restroom
alone. but Retired-Cop scolds him for being such a coward. He departs for work, leaving his son alone
at home. Meanwhile, Yury's daughter watches the boy from a distance. Yury plays with his wife.
Retired-Cop has dinner with his son during his break. He reminds his son to be brave,
and not be afraid of anything. When the son reveals that Yury's daughter keeps staring
at him, Retired-Cop tells him to man up. The next morning, the son sets out for school.
He bravely runs through the apartments, screaming into each one before slamming
all their doors shut. Meanwhile, Yury goes out to throw his trash. He brings the garbage bag,
which is leaking a nasty brown fluid. right then, Retired-Cop arrives home from work,
and watches as Yury takes out the trash. He then goes to bed and sets up an alarm.
In his apartment, Yury cuts his wife's hair. He tells his wife that his parents are expecting them
for the Chinese New Year. Yury asks her what gifts they should get for their parents; and the wife
responds that they should get chocolate. The son later arrives home from school,
and hears creaking and other loud noises from upstairs. He sees Yury's daughter standing
ominously in the hallway, and gets scared. However, she only wants to play with him.
The son agrees; and the two go out to play in the photography studio across the apartment.
Retired-Cop wakes up at 11 in the evening. Since his son still hasn't returned home,
he asks the other tenants in the building if they have seen him. He knocks on Yury's door.
When Yury opens the door, Retired-Cop notices a strong herbal smell. He asks Yury if his son is
inside playing with their daughter; but Yury quickly dismisses him, saying that
he doesn't have a daughter. Retired-Cop begins to suspect Yury of doing something illegal.
In the morning, Retired-Cop waits for Yury to leave his apartment.
When Yury leaves, he breaks into his apartment, and finds an herbal concoction.
He also sees Yury's wife drowning in the bathtub. It's revealed that the wife is already dead; and
Yury is only pretending that his wife is alive. Yury suddenly appears behind Retired-Cop,
and knocks him out. He later wakes up tied to a chair, and sees Yury preparing an herbal bath for
his dead wife. Retired-Cop asks him where his son is; but gets ignored. He charges at Yury,
and knocks him down. Yury gets up and continues to ignore him. Retired-Cop charges once more,
and gets knocked out with a pestle. When he wakes up, he finds Yury talking to
his wife and painting her nails. Retired-Cop tells him that his wife is dead; but Yury disagrees. He
tells him that by using Chinese herbs, his wife's tumors will disappear, and she will get revived.
Retired-Cop calls him crazy, and correctly guesses that Yury strangled his wife, since she has
bruises on her neck. Yury responds that his wife must be killed first, before she can be cured.
When Retired-Cop asks Yury to return his son, Yury says that he hasn't taken his son. Yury tells him
that his wife will revive in three days. Only then can Retired-Cop be released to look for his son.
That night, Yury performs acupuncture on Retired-Cop, and even gives him medical advice.
Yury reveals that he and his wife studied Chinese medicine together. However, they couldn't heal
themselves; and Yury was forced to kill his wife. He reassures Retired-Cop that his wife's soul will
stay in her body, as long as he is by her side. Yury continues to try and heal his wife. He lies
down on her lap, and expresses his regret that he wasn't able to heal her. He laments if he
had cured her, they wouldn't have had to abort their baby. Apparently, they never had a child;
and the son's playmate is only the child's ghost. Yury hallucinates his wife, telling
him that they can try to have another baby as soon as she gets better.
The next morning, after going out to throw the trash, Yury helps Retired-Cop urinate into a
bottle. He tells him that he tried looking for his son; but no one seems to have seen him.
Yury explains how he has talked to his wife everyday, since she died three years ago.
Later that evening, Yury gives his wife a bath for the last time.
He asks her what color dress she would like to wear; but she does not respond.
The day of the wife's revival comes. Yury dresses her up, and applies some make-up on her.
He calls out her name repeatedly; but she does not respond. Retired-Cop listens
disapprovingly from the sidelines. Suddenly, a knock on the door is heard.
Yury hides his wife behind the curtains and opens the door. The man at the door is a cop,
looking for his former colleague. Yury tells him that Retired-Cop went away to gamble in Macau.
The cop thanks him for his help and leaves. Yury returns to his wife. He suddenly notices
that her body is getting warmer. Excited over his wife's imminent revival, he sets
Retired-Cop free. However, Retired-Cop tells him that the police know he is being held captive,
since they know that he never gambles. Police storm the apartment and arrest Yury.
Retired-Cop frees himself, and watches as Yury is brought into custody. The wife's
body is taken away in a metal box. Yury escapes the car and runs after his wife's dead body.
Out of nowhere, a car appears and runs over Yury, killing him in an instant.
A few moments later, an investigator talks to Retired-Cop. She tells him that the body
of Yury's wife is still pristine, almost alive. Her hair and nails are still growing,
even three years after her death. Inside the truck, the wife's fingers start to twitch
and move. A tear falls from her eye. Retired-Cop tries to investigate the case.
He finds out that Yury himself apparently had liver cancer, but had miraculously cured himself
through herbal therapy. He finds a video message from the wife to Yury shortly before she died.
In it, she asks Yury to let her soul remain inside her body. She then promises
to be resurrected. The video cuts off, but turns on once more after a few seconds.
The next video shows the wife caring for Yury, when he was sick with cancer.
It also shows the wife preparing a bathtub full of herbs, just like Yury did with her. It is revealed
that Yury's miraculous recovery from liver cancer, was thanks to his wife killing and reviving him—
similar to how Yury tried to heal her cancer by killing her, and then resurrecting her.
The film ends with the son inside the photography studio. He waves goodbye to Yury's daughter.
He exits the studio and looks at it from outside, revealing it to be the abandoned and chained-up
store from earlier. Yury's family get their picture taken together. This means that the
store is actually closed and only exists in the otherworld— the world of the dead. possibly, their
aborted daughter has been lurking and waiting for them in the other world; so by trapping the little
boy, and tricking Retired-Cop into looking for his son at her parents' apartment, she
successfully stops her parents' next resurrection. The family is finally complete and reunited.
