 |  |  |  | | Opening moments of Ivan Lai's Category III thriller recalls the atmospheric and horrific imagery of Dr. Lamb, the film that seriously kick started the wave of true crime films in the early 90s. The Peeping Tom soon turns into a rather flat thriller that only occasionally springs to life via some shocking imagery though. Jade Leung is a blank lead, Mark Cheng more silly than menacing and it's a little disappointing to see Ivan Lai not being able to expand on the fairly well-honed visual skills he displayed in The Imp (although he had Diana Pang Dan at his disposal there). Then again, The Peeping Tom isn't much better or worse than the majority of the Category III output that we saw a few years prior. Miho Nomoto co-stars. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  WOW! A diamond in the rough. The DVD cover doesn't do this DVD justice. It makes it look like an average female cop shoot-'em-up, but it's not. Here's the gist: a male serial killer loves legs. He loves 'em so much he kidnaps women and rapes them (rather thoroughly I might add), and then cuts off their legs to add to his collection. He picks out a female cop who has fantastic legs and starts following her around, videotaping her legs. Then the game of cat and mouse begins in this highly stylized horror film filled with tons of sex and gore that should satisfy your lust for the obscene. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
