Dr. Lamb is a classic Category III true crime shocker produced , co directed and starring Danny Lee (as inspector Lee ).The real star of the show is Simon Yam and gives a tremendous performance as Dr Lamb (the name given to him by the media )a taxi driver who killed and photographed 4 women in Hong Kong in the early 80's. Based on a real case this movie was very controversial when it was originally released and heavily censored . Even so the film is really well done and depraved . Simon Yam gives a convincing and creepy performance few actors can touch. The cops minus inspector Lee bring black comedy to this otherwise savage thriller . Even if the sex and violence is not at its most extreme, there is strangulation, bodily dismemberment, necrophilia and gore . This is real well done and disturbing film that generated a wave of Category III sickness that spawned much depraved Hong Kong cinema throughout the 90's decade. Dr Lamb is mandatory viewing for fans of the genre and one of my personal favorites.
