Hong Kong director Patrick Leung, Japanese director Takahiko Akiyama, and Thai director Thanit Jitnikul pool their resources to terrify audiences with a three-part horror omnibus that proves terror takes many unique forms. When Hong Kong sexpot Jane (Annie Liu) returns to her boyfriend Joe (Dylan Kuo)'s apartment after an extended absence, various clues lead her to believe that Joe may have entered into an affair with the woman next door. Little does Jane realize, however, that next-door neighbor Hosie (Race Wong) may be from another plane of reality. In the second tale, a wife (Asaka Seto) suffering from horrific nightmares takes her husband (Takashi Kashiwabara) to visit a psychiatrist (Tomorrowo Taguchi), only to discover that the death that surrounds her seems to originate from a supernatural source. The trilogy draws to a close with director Jitnikul's non-linear tale of a husband (Kajornsak Ratananisai) whose wife (Pitchanart Sakhakorn) is suffering from hallucinations that may be the result of a traumatic incident involving the couple's child. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

When gossip journalist Carrie (Sammi Cheng) investigates the strange case of policeman-turned-model Paul Ko (Louis Koo), who has been put out of commission in more ways than one after being shot in the groin, she finds herself falling for him despite herself. Meanwhile, Carrie's sex-obsessed ex-boyfriend (Lau Ching-Wan) is approached by an equally carnal female (Charlene Choi) and is pleased as can be with the exception of one, rather important thing: Tabby (Choi) is way too young for him. Good Times, Bed Times was directed by Patrick Leung and also features Tony Leung Kar-Fai. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Patrick Leung directed this bloody Hong Kong thriller about a nameless hitwoman (Jacqueline Wu) who, for reasons not entirely clear and never fully developed, has a lower than average body temperature. She is cold-blooded in other ways as well, assassinating her targets with steely detachment and having only two real acquaintances: the Cambodian woman who gives her killing assignments and money, and the street vendor Long Shek (Lau Ching-wan), at whose stand she habitually relaxes after successful hits with a bowl of noodles. Long Shek dubs her Pretty Ghost, and the two gradually become something like friends. Pretty Ghost ends up traveling to South Korea to assassinate a local gangland kingpin, a job she decides will be her last. Unfortunately, the dead man's bodyguard, Yichin (Han Sang-woo), is out for revenge and comes after Pretty Ghost, and she is quickly betrayed by her Cambodian boss. Violent as it may be, the film also spends a good deal of time exploring Pretty Ghost's character, and her slow change from icy killing machine to humanized woman is well handled by Wu and screenwriter Szeto Wai-cheuk. Shirley Wong and Cheung Sung-kei co-star. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
