 |  |  | | | If ever you wanted to see what Diana Pang Dan was all about - I would probably have to recommend this film. I think this - along with Evil Instinct - are clearly her two best strictly from a film quality viewpoint - but this is also her most revealing film if you get my meaning (wink wink). The film is a mix of sex and horror - and it is fairly effective in doing both. Pang Dan goes into the hinterlands looking for her missing twin sister and ends up staying at this creepy inn along with a film crew headed by Mark Cheng. Pang Dan gets chased by a local tribe for interrupting their fertility rites and then by a few knife welding pyschos. It all gets pretty gory - but is surprisingly entertaining. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

| The first 70 mins or so alternate between moderately eerie character/plot development and raunchy sex'n'nudity. The short remainder is as gory and cruel as any HK slasher, and is seriously nasty. For instance, a woman is tied up and raped, then killed because she has a perfect pussy (hey, I didn't write the script !). The plot is pretty involved, though it lacks depth, and has shades of Psycho and Dr Lamb. Pang Dan has never looked lovelier, and even manages to act half-well. She appears nude in several scenes but, like Amy Yip, always keeps the best bits covered (damn !). No worries, the other female actors more than make up for it. Mark Cheng looks totally bored, right up until the last few minutes, even while he has the enviable task of screwing Pang while ensuring that her breasts remain covered by his hands. Mark gets excited only to express anguish at being given a headjob by Jing Hua while tied up. And the luscious-lipped Dick Lau is always fun to watch - he's such a ham ! Overall : Highly erotic with ample and exciting sex'n'skin. Despite being only mildly unsettling in the horror department and the really grisly ending, quite enjoyable. |

| Ching Kwok Shan receives a letter from twin sister Fun, feels something bad has happened (she has twin's telepathy), and shares a van with a TV crew to get to the inn from where the letter came. This crew consists of director Mark, presenter Angie, and cameramen King Kong and Cass, and their brief is to film a rarely-seen aboriginal ceremony involving sacrifice. They check into the hotel run by sexy (and clearly sinister) widow Jing Hua, and unsettling things being to happen. Shan and crew stumble upon a temple inhabited by Tao, a blind priest and a worried man, who gives Shan some guidance. Shan keeps fainting, so they take her to the doctor. Instead of checking her in, King Kong chats up the cute receptionist Yuan Jun. Then the serious sex and nudity starts. King Kong gets Yuan Jun's gear off, Angie shows off her slim bod in an extended bathing scene while Cass peeks at her, Angie slaps his face then drags him into bed with her but chickens out. (Aren't women maddening ?!). Shan sees more vivid visions of her sister and others she does not recognize, becomes more unsettled, and finds unexpected comfort in Mark's strong arms. Soon after, people start getting slashed to death at a serious rate. It's no surprise to see that widow Jing Hua is involved, but her brother is the main villain (though I won't spoil it by revealing his identity). Hua and brother get into bondage, cruel taunting, and some very unpleasant punishment. Warning : this part could seriously upset the sensitive viewer ! As with many of these gory/apocalyptic endings, only two of the main characters survive to the end credits. |
