THE UNTOLD STORY (1993)


 Hong Kong cannibal tale supposedly based on a true story about a guy who knocks off everyone that pisses him off and cooks them up in some lovely "pork" dumplings. I know I'm watching a horror film that gets the job done when I'm in a theater and people walk out in disgust at the events on display. The scene that pushed these particular folks over the edge when I viewed this recently involved rape and some chopsticks shoved in a very uncomfortable area on a lady. The scene that used to bother me the most involved the butchering of some young children but maybe that's just cuz I can relate to being a kid way more than being a lady. These kids here are kinda high-pitched and annoying so I guess it wasn't as big of a loss at it coulda been. One of the oddest things(although not as odd when you see a lot of Hong Kong films from this era) about this movie is that the tone shifts from horrific violence to goofy police hi-jinks all throughout the film, sort-of reminiscent of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT in that way. There's also some parts where we almost feel some sympathy for this mass-murdering maniac when he finally gets caught and beaten on a daily basis by cops and prisoners alike. Luckily there's more flashbacks to remind us of what a walking shitbag this guy really is. Definitely a must-see for gore-freaks or anyone looking for a movie from the 90's that isn't horrendously awful but horrendously disturbing to some. Check it out just don't invite your overly-sensitive girlfriend/sister/mom/aunt/daughter or grandma to watch. AKA BUNMAN: THE UNTOLD STORY & THE EIGHT IMMORTALS RESTAURANT: THE UNTOLD STORY
