It feels as though [Yau] struggled to craft two wildly different films here and decided to edit them both together in a Frankenstein's monster fashion that never fully clicks.

I think this is a great story and... [but] it didn't gel for me.

Essential viewing, not only for fans of extreme cinema, but of Hong Kong and horror films in general - a brutal, ruthless and skilfully made film that demands recognition

"Bunman-The Untold Story" is one of the most horribly disturbing horror movies ever made. Anthony Wong plays a lunatic who butchers a restaurant owner and his family in Macau after a gambling argument. He takes over the restaurant and uses the family's bodies to make pork buns! "The Untold Story" is a nasty, brutal film based on a real-life facts. Anthony Wong is perfect as the psychotic Wong Chi Hang and his grotesque grin is truly bone-chilling. The violence is extremely shocking: the family slaughter scene has to be one of the most repulsive acts of violence I've ever witnessed on film. The other sequences like brutal rape and murder of his female employee or Wong's suicide attempt in jail are also pretty hard to stomach. Still "The Untold Story" is sprinkled with humour what makes it a bit easier to watch. A must-see for fans of extreme cinema.
