The story involves a young man (Cheung Kam Ching) that own a barbeque restaurant in Hong Kong that doesn't get many customers, beyond a low level triad (Jamie Lik Kim Ming) and a mischievous cop named Officer Lazy Boots (Anthony Wong) that always loses his gun. Aside from his rocky business, Cheung also has marital problems as he cannot "make it" (as the film describes it), and his nymphomaniacal wife takes all his earning to go shopping to impress her new boyfriends that can "make it". Cheung is a nice guy with absolutely no self esteem because of his crappy life and the fact that everyone knows his wife is cheating on him and he is worthless in bed. But Cheung's life gets a bit more interesting when his wife (Yeung Faan) invites her cousin (Paulyn Sun) to move to Hong Kong from Mainland China. Cheung is totally oblivious to the fact that she witnessed the massacre of her entire family and she is totally insane. She quickly notices that Cheung is a great guy and his wife treats him like dirt, leading her to take matters into her own hands to carve out a new life...

"The Untold Story 2" bares little resemblance to the original, aside from Anthony Wong and people being served for dinner at the crappy Hong Kong restaurant. Anthony Wong does a decent job playing the dimwitted, Officer Lazy Boots but is no comparison to his brilliant performance in "The Untold Story". The highlight of the film is definitely the acting from Paulyn Sun and Cheung Kam Ching. Paulyn Sun accurately portrays a loveable, sometimes innocent looking girl that is really a total nut job. Cheung Kam Ching is even better as the sympathetic loser that can get nothing right as his inefficiencies in the sack and passive nature result in him falling into Paulyn Sun's trap. What makes this film creepy is not the splatter used for a shock value, but the slow transition of Paulyn's character, along with the other solid performances and the eerie nature of the events. This is more of a psychological thriller than a splatterfest.

"The Untold Story 2" is not as groundbreaking as the original but well worth a look, unless you have a weak stomach.

Like most Cat III movies, The Untold Story 2 roams all over the map. It starts out with a graphic masturbation scene and then segues into comedy with Lazyboots hunting down a group of errant chickens. Until about halfway through the film, The Untold Story 2 plays out like a standard Cat III sex romp with much more sex than violence. However, once the pieces of the puzzle come together (mostly from a very gory death and dismemberment scene), The Untold Story 2 does manage to deliver some thrills. Ironically, though (at least for the genre), it's the parts that don't have that much blood or breasts in them that are the best in the film, mostly due to Paulyn Sun's wonderfully schizophrenic performance

In a genre where serial killers are a dime a dozen, Sun -- like Anthony Wong in the first film -- manages to create a character out of a stereotype, which makes this story worth telling. Those jaded by the recent spate of cheesy horror movies with pretty kids running around should check The Untold Story 2 out and see what real horror cinema is all about. It's not as good as the first film, but should make for a bloody good night's viewing for horror/exploitation fans.
