Dr. Lamb –
Mr. Gwao-yu Lin is detained by the police after some strange
nude pictures are reported by a photo developer. The ladies in them appear to be dead.
Mr. Lin protests his innocence. The cops don’t believe him. The situation is bizarre. He lives in a tiny home with his whole family
yet they initially claim to be unaware of his crimes.
He works as a taxi driver at night providing ample
opportunity to pick up victims.
The photos are disturbing but more is suggested than is shown. Things get darker as the investigation unfolds. Gwao-yu’s family turn on him after learning
he abused his niece.
As seems typical of Chinese police dramas, the cops are brutal
& heavy handed in obtaining his confession.
Weird, frenzied & over the top. The killer howls a lot. The bumbling police antics with the evidence
made me laugh. Most of the film is a
very dark comedy. I wasn’t disturbed until
the second murder/dismemberment. The last
23 minutes are pretty intense. Enjoy
