The Untold Story
八仙飯店之人肉叉燒包
Macau cops begin to suspect a man running a pork buns restaurant of murder, after tracing the origin of a case full of chopped up human remains that washed ashore, which leads them to him.
Why it matters
A gruesome dive into depravity that blends true crime with over-the-top gore, The Untold Story is a landmark of Hong Kong’s CAT III exploitation scene and a brutal character study of madness.
- Anthony Wong’s chilling, unhinged turn as the cannibalistic butcher is a masterclass in psychotic charisma.
- Unapologetically visceral gore effects deliver shock value that’s as raw as it is darkly absurd.
- A grimy, claustrophobic Macau setting grounds the lunacy in unsettling reality—true crime meets nightmare.
- For fans of extreme exploitation and transgressive horror, it’s a gut-churning cult classic that still shocks decades later.
