Dr Lamb...

[Psychocandy]

Anyone seen this flick? I've had a copy on DVD just lying around for weeks now and i've still not watched it. Tell you the truth i'm a little nervous about watching it (what a big wuss, eh?). I've heard it's pretty fucking grim stuff. I'm also not particularly keen on animal cruelty in movies and it seems that lately every second Hong Kong or Korean movie I watch features a fish getting skinned alive or a cat being swung off a wall. Kinda sickening. Any word on Dr Lamb would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Rock on man!
Got that badboy here, got the HK import and wierdly enough, it seems to have the original swearing onthe soundtrack beeped out...?
Okaaaay so we can see a womans breast being removed, but kinda shy away at expletives and pubic hair..?

Anyhows, yeah i couldnt wait upon getting this bad boy to get it in my DVD player, and must say i was kinda disappointed. I dunno, id heard so much about it being the sickest, goriest thing ever. Admittedly it is quite unsettling in parts (and very well made and acted) but it really didnt match up to Untold Story (which in turn did nt live up to the ultra gore hype it got)

Yeah, WELL worth 90 mins and the £6.50 it cost me to get it imported http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif but id be very interested to know if the version ive got here is the longest one in existance...

Come on gorehounds... someone else must have seen this... Gimme the gore-score!!!

Oh and dont panic, this scores a big Zee-ro on the animal cruelty scale.. at least i think it did...?

Its 2.48am and ive gotta be up at 7.30.

Oh well, gotta be up in 5 hours or so, and ive got the old bottle of Jim Beam by my side, gotta be due a post or 2...

From what I ve picked up on my trawling across the net, the version i have courtesy of Winson Entertainment, is shorn of some 20 seconds of Violence, as well as the expletives and pubic brush which are as per a previous post have been noticably removed.

Apparently untill the release of Untold story, this was the King of HK CatIII flicks, a crown that is somewhat disputed now...

Gotta say that after hearing old uncle Chas Baluns comments on this being a total sicko, i was quite let down.

So, am I the only Schmoe to have seen what is considered the Harshest that HK cinema has to offer?
Did you think it was up to the hype that has been adorned unto it? (Be honest!)
Have you seen the fully Uncut version? If so what are the 20 seconds deemed too much even for the HK audience!

The Skantchster awaits....
