Depraved CAT III, Not a "Taxi Driver" wannabe!

Dr. Lamb is CAT III psychological crime horror film, Shot in 1992 by Danny Lee and Billy Tang is a mixture of true crime procedural and gore movie based on the true life murders that took place in Hong Kong during several months. The film follows cab driver Lam Gor-Yu (Simon Yam), who chops up victims and engages in the odd necrophiliac action. He is a twisted psychopath who spends his spare time killing, mutilating, and raping women. The movie is quite different, most notorious films from the golden age of Hong Kong horror than trying to be a "Taxi Driver"-wannabe/rip-off. For those interested to check out Category III rating, which is equivalent to the old X's or current NC-17's in the U.S, then Dr. Lamb is a good start followed by 2 of my favourites Untold Story (1993) and Ebola Syndrome (1996).

Decent Cat III Sickness...

DOCTOR LAMB is another HK freak-show - this one is about a sick freak who kills chicks and videotapes and photographs the after-product. That's really all there is to this one. Not as memorable or as sick as THE EBOLA SYNDROME or THE UNTOLD STORY -in fact, DOCTOR LAMB plays out very much like THE UNTOLD STORY as it is told in flash-back sequences, where Yam tells the cops of his "misdeeds" after being caught, interrogated and tortured. Some decent scenes of necrophilia, dismemberment, etc...not a bad film if ya dig this sort of thing, just not as memorable as the aforementioned films. Simon Yam puts on a great performance as a psycho whack-job, but this one left me a little cold, so-to-speak...Worth a look as far as HK Cat III stuff is concerned, but don't expect too much. 7/10 P.S. - thanks to "extreme" film guru EMBALMER for alerting me to my Simon Yam/Anthony Wong mix-up that has since been corrected in this review - I've been watching too much of this stuff lately ;)
