DVD Review: I can only hope one day someone like Diskotec, Synapse or Vinegar Syndrome will release this movie in the USA UNCUT and UNCENSORED! For now the Tai Seng version will suffice. The copy I received is the actual Tai Seng release that has the cover with Simon Yam on the front with his finger over his mouth with grotesque s*** on a table but the DVD is from Winson Entertainment. I don't know if that is what it is but eh! The audio is a bit crappy as these beeping sounds keep occurring on the Cantonese language but Mandarin isn't. The picture quality is a little fuzzy but it's overall fine. And it's not properly formatted for Widescreen TV's (smaller picture) and the subtitles are in British English. Bloody wanker.

Movie Review: Some people say this movie is a gorefest. I don't know what is considered a gorefest in their thoughts, but all I know it isn't really gory at all. There is a couple of scenes which we get to see jiggly severed boobs and some blood splatter but it's sure as s*** not a gorefest. Morons. Anyways, I loved this movie. Though it's not the splatter movie I was hoping for (because of the b***f***ing censors more likely), it's still a wonderful and disturbing movie based on an actual serial killer who strangled and dismembered 4 broads in the early 80's and even engaged in necrophilia with one of them. At times the tone is inconsistent to which at times the film has heavy drama and horror then out of no where adds a slapstick comedic scene (huh?) and the pacing is a little slow. But the acting was really great, the horror elements were so disturbingly well done that it didn't really need gore s*** but whatever.

Conclusion: 3 stars for the DVD and 4 1/2 for Dr. Lamb

I can't review this movie based on the DVD format because I didn't purchase it from here. But I did watch it due to the movie being acclaimed.
This movie fits the genres of action, crime, and horror. I believe I watched the cut version, which was more mild compared to the uncut version. In the cut version, every time strong language is said, it's bleeped out. Regardless, the movie is still quite dark and gritty. This movie is part of Hong Kong Category III list with good reason. The movie was actually not as gory as I expected. But don't get me wrong, there are some gruesome parts. In fact, there was a scene in which Serial Killer Lam Gor-Yu surgically removed the breast of his deceased victim by using a scalpel and there is a scene in which he implores in necrophilia. There wasn't much blood in the film though.

The movie was made in 1992 and directed by Danny Lee and Billy Tang. The movie depicts the police investigation and apprehension of the murderer, the interrogation of the apprehended, and the retelling of the crime through flashbacks. Serial Killer Lam Gor-Yu was played by Simon Yan, who gave an excellent performance. He was genuinely creepy and he was acting was just perfect. He was able to switch from being polite and quiet to a howling serial killer unable to control his urges.On rainy night, he prowls the street in his taxi, trying to find his victims. His victims are people he considers to be 'bad' women. They are mainly prostitutes and addicts, which he correlates them to due to his traumatic and horrible childhood. After he finds his victim, he strangles, dismembers and then photographs them in an attempt to clean and purify the streets.

The police uses brutal tactics to try to extract a confession from him (i.e. beating him).

The next year after Dr. Lamb Danny Lee as a director shot The Untold Story which came out to be a bit better than Dr. Lamb and became somewhat classic in the circles of gorehounds and category III movie lovers. But in Dr. Lamb some elements can be found that later made The Untold Story so popular.

In the beginning of Dr. Lamb police arrest a taxi driver accusing him in a number of girl murders throughout Hong Kong. Young man doesn't want to confess at first, but finally starts telling his story, and we see the rest of the film as a flashback. Dr. Lamb is pretty gory, with notorious episodes for example of woman's breast being cut off or chunks of human meat floating in a fish tank, although with nothing overly-disturbing which can shock those who's seen plenty of such movies. And altogether Dr. Lamb could become totally senseless and stupid exploitation schlock like, say Ebola Syndrome, but it didn't.

Danny Lee turned this gorefest into a pretty serious film. I wouldn't call it a drama, but it definately is much more than your ordinary splatter movie. As The Untold Story makes a sudden turn after the cannibal is seized, Dr. Lamb keeps it realistic from the very beginning. We see the taxi driver's family which doesn't want to believe that their relative is guilty, but as soon as he confesses they all turn their backs on him. We see this guy being interrogated in a police precinct and how cops - calling a spade a spade - torture him to get a confession. At this moment you don't even know whom to feel for - cops or a murderer. Dr. Lamb at many points turns out to be pretty ambiguous and thoughtful albeit it doesn't necessarily have to. It strongly reminded me of William Lustig's Maniac. This is the case when an exploitation film happens to be something more, and that's always a nice surprise for a viewer.
