3 Cortes

"3 Cortes" is a collection of three gore-filled shocking short films from three Brazilian filmmakers. The first story, "Sozinho", is about a man meeting up with a young woman he met earlier in the day. When he gets to her place, she has a special surprise in store for him. "Coleção de Humanos Mortos" is the second story, and in it a young man is plagued by his inner demons, pushing him to satisfy his desire to inflict pain on others. Finally, in "06 Tiros, 60ml" a man wakes up to find himself trapped inside a hospital with blood-soaked faceless monsters and must do what he can to escape, even if that means killing every monster or person he comes across.

Directed by André Z. Pagnossim, Fernando Rick, Kapel Furman, 3 Cortes leans on a strong ensemble — Gurcius Gewdner, Fernando Pavão, Mara Vanessa Prieto — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2006.
