dworldeater The Untold Story is one of the sickest, but most well made films ever. Anthony Wong plays a lunatic like no one else and even won best actor award for his inimitable, awesome performance in this film. The film is a police procedural in the vein of Dr. Lamb, also based on true events and also produced by Danny Lee. Danny Lee also appears as Inspector Lee and his team of goofball cops provide out of place comedy that actually make the film darker and more disturbing . All of the scenes with Anthony Wong are brooding and intense. Director Herman Yau did an awesome job telling the story and preserving its dark tone. The violence is very extreme and pulls no punches in its brutality . There is rape, murder, torture ,child killings ,bodily dimemberment and cannibalism. This a very nasty and extreme film, rated Category III ( HK X or NC17 equivalent ).If you are a fan of dark , extreme , disturbing horror this is one flick you should check out. I highly recommend The Ebola Syndrome and Dr. Lamb as well.

DICK STEEL This year's HKIFF has director Herman Yau's movies in retrospect, and features some of his adult cult classics like The Untold Story, and Ebola Syndrome. There would be no way that I would pass on the opportunity to watch these movies on the big screen, in 35mm format.The Untold Story tells of a heinous crime that reportedly took place in 80s Macau, where the entire family of the Eight Immortals Restaurant were slaughtered, their bodies dismembered, the bones dumped into trash, and their flesh, as the title already states, gets put as fillings into roast meat buns. Anthony Wong plays the chief villain Wong Chi Hang, who refuses to acknowledge the dastardly murders he had committed, and gives an impressive performance as a dangerous, calculative criminal behind those nerdy looking spectacles.This Category III movie is unflinching in its violence, and not just those involving weapons like butcher knives, but seemingly innocent utensils like ladles and chopsticks will never be looked upon in the same light again. Women and children are not spared the graphicness of it all, and although some acts were done off screen, it is chilling enough to send shivers, no thanks to the gleefully evil expression of Wong the actor. Rape, dismemberment, beheadings, immolation, they're all here to earn this adult movie its cult status.Danny Lee, a regular in cop movies in the 80s and also a producer of the film, plays a cop with shady morals here, with preference for hookers and breaking protocol by bringing them regularly to crime scenes and the police station. It's quite a departure from the straight heroic roles he plays ever so often. Besides watching him in action (haven't seen him in a while), another "oldie" Seng Fui On is in the movie as a jailbird who bears a grudge against Wong Chi Hang. Watching a host of other familiar faces brings back that sense of nostalgia.But perhaps what made this movie stand out, is its portrayal of the police force as a bunch of bumbling officers (in a way) with its blend of comedy, and its stark portrayal of questionable interrogation tactics which probably wouldn't get passed today, and would definitely be frowned upon.It's a wicked delight to indulge in the enjoyment of this movie, and I'd recommend anyone who wants to watch this, to watch it on the big screen in 35mm format at whatever opportunity that comes by.

Matthew Jaworski 'The Untold Story' is purportedly based on a true story. If that is indeed the case, this film is one of the more horrifying endeavors I have had the pleasure to witness in all my years. Even if it is not, this still quite a film...Herman Yau directed this HK horror masterpiece masterfully. Anthony Wong (as Kai) gives one of the most convincing psycho performances I have ever encountered (at that's saying a lot)...The story is a relatively simple one (albeit very effective). At the outset, Kai and his boss have some sort of monetary dispute involving gambling and cheating. An argument ensues, at which point Kai than proceeds to go sickhouse, and kill the man... Fast forward 8 years...Kai is running a restaurant. Mysteriously, the previous owner and his family are nowhere to be found. As the police and various people begin to inquire about how Kai came into ownership of the restaurant, the questions begin to pile up (as do the missing bodies)...Kai, being witty as well as psychotic devises a clever and creative way to dispose of the various bodies that he has created. By the way, don't eat the 'pork buns'... Eventually the local police (who are portrayed as silly, Police Academy-esquire buffoons) become suspicious, leading to the arrest and eventual imprisonment of Kai. Torture and brutality ensue, culminating in a coerced confession presented beautifully and horrifically by Yau...Much has been made of the violent and wicked nature of this film. Perhaps I am jaded, but I did not find this film to be gratuitously violent. All of the violent and wicked acts depicted were in context, and served the purpose of showing what a monster Kai is..This may sound like a rather simple film. Plotwise it is. However, the story was well-constructed, and Yau's capable direction keep things moving forward engagingly so. This is a captivating and enthralling story, all the more incredible because it allegedly happened. If you love a good true crime/horror story (and are not of the squeamish variety), you will most likely find this to be a fascinating and well-done film...

Demonic_Entity-1 This notorious CAT III classic is a definite favorite among gore-hound's. Anthony Wong delivers a creepy and incredible performance as the sicko chef, Wong Chi Hang. Horribly killing and dismembering anyone who crosses his path and turning them into human meat pies. You will never look at Asian food the same way again after seeing this, trust me. This one has it all folks, so grab a beer, some popcorn (No meat buns) and kick back to enjoy this sick flick.*Spoilers*The story starts off with two men in a room fighting over a gambling game. The one man then proceeds to brutally attack and beat the other man to a bloody pulp. He then douses him with gasoline and lights him up like a Christmas tree. Fast-forward some years ahead and the man, known as Wong Chi Hang (Anthony Wong) is sporting a new look and working as a manager in a restaurant. But after some of his workers end up missing and body parts are found, the police start to get suspicious and take him in for questioning. What he reveals to them is most disturbing.
