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.

For those of us who dwell on the long and seemingly endless plateau of run of the mill slasher movies, exploitation films and shockers, you know what I mean when I say that things get a little boring. Everything you see, you've seen before. Things that once made you cringe now make you smirk. And things that once repulsed you can now be viewed with popcorn in hand...or pork buns.Let me tell you, this movie is disgusting. I have seriously seen my share and this one might be the worst of the worst. Throughout the first hour or so of the film, you get a mix of dark humor, slapstick comedy, and gore. It seems like a cross between "The Story of Ricky" and "Dead Alive." Considering the year it was made, it seems pretty average. Then comes the ending. During the last half hour of "The Untold Story," I think I actually considered turning it off. The story takes an insane turn for the worse as Chang tells the tale of his murder. Shown on camera are scenes of such graphic and disturbing violence, I have to commend the filmmakers at least a little for having the balls to do it. One thing is for sure: I only need to see this movie once.I didn't realize films like this were made in the 1990's. Wow!!! 8 out of 10, kids.

This film reminds me of what made Last House on the Left so effective, and so unnecessary in some parts. What works well in here is the horrific disregard for human life. What doesn't work at all is the humour. In fact, the film almost didn't work for me as it seemed to concentrate too much on the bumbling cops trying to get laid and their fascination with breasts and behinds. When it gets sidetracked and goes for the humour, it is actually quite terrible. Fortunately, the film smartens up and becomes an all out gorefest and changes it's lackadaisical tone to one that becomes horrifically serious.I too came across this film on a whim. I ordered Men Behind the Sun from Amazon.com and one of the recommendations was this film. I checked it out, and then bought it blind. It obviously has a cult status and for good reason.I'm sure people that are reading this already know what makes it so cult like, and that is the violence and the graphic nature of the film. This is different violence that what we see here in North America. It is unapologetic, graphic, bloody and perpetual. The only complaint I have is that the camera doesn't show all that it could. If film makers like Argento and Fulci can find a way to show the violence, then so can Herman Yau. We see the blood, we see the body parts being tossed aside, but for a film that made it's reputation on its gore, it would be "nice" to see some more of it. Gallons of blood is cool, but seeing a limb severed is even better.The crowning moment in the film is the slaughter of the family. It did remind me of Reservoir Dogs, but it is much more gruesome. And that is what makes the film so intriguing for sickos like us. You won't find anything like this in North America. As mentioned in the first line of the review, it does have that Last House on the Left feel to it. Anthony Wong is sickening brilliant in this film and he reminds me of Krug from LHOTL. He kills because he needs to. He wants to taste blood and if this is based on a true story, then he is one sick character. There are children losing their heads in the film, rape by chopstick, grinding of human meat and buckets and buckets of blood. If this sounds like your kind of film, you will not find one better.Another interesting aspect of the film is the police brutality. You would never see such an admission of these sorts. And it is quite refreshing to see what might have gone on behind closed doors. It is treated like it is normal, like it is part of police procedure. You won't see that in a North American film either.7/10 Only the comedy brings it down, or it would have been a 9.

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.
