“Not being the typical hong-hong film fan (actually I have seen very few HK films) but having seen many of the worldu0026#39;s most extraordinary films, I have to say that I loved u0026quot;Chinese torture chamber storyu0026quot; in a very special way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMost reviews here, although not losing the point, are representative of the western exploitation-type-of-viewing, with which I cantu0026#39;t really identify with, at least in regard with this film. I actually thought this blending of comedy, horror u0026amp; erotica resulted in a most magnificent, poetic, weirdly funny, wildly violent result. This is quite unlike everything I have ever seen – I always had a tension to love any original and extraordinary film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOkay, I admit, I have seen the majority of violent u0026amp; strange films, so itu0026#39;s quite understandable that I am not offended or shocked by the bold erotic element or the horrific tortures, and so I could dive in deeper in the films story and concept which is by no means shallow. I have the feeling that itu0026#39;s for the most part the filmmakers craft and smart use of humour and the way the story was presented make the violence u0026amp; erotica a means to a higher end. Yet, extreme violence is not hidden or implied – on the contrary, itu0026#39;s on display every once in a while.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGo after this film, if you can tolerate some violence, this is one of those one-of-a-kind films which can make the difference….”
