When rotted human remains wash up on a beach, the police are dispatched to investigate. Their searching leads them to the Eight Immortals Restaurant, with it’s local proprietor Wong Chi Hang is the man behind it. But it seems Wong has ownership of the restaurant without proof, which leads one cop, above all his bumbling peers, to think there’s more to Wong than he’s willing to tell. As their investigation progresses, the cops find themselves on a missing persons case when the man who originally ran the restaurant and his entire family have just gone missing without a trace. The only man with knowledge of what happened to that family is Wong, who very well may be responsible for the disappearances of employees too, and what the cops must find, will be an unlikely horror they couldn’t anticipate, of a far more dangerous man capable of doing even more evil acts, in the one thing no one had even thought about.

Review of the 88 Films Blu-ray:
The Untold Story is a chilling feature. It’s something that I’m beyond thrilled to see 88 Films release over here. I’m excited for their upcoming release of Taxi Hunter, another Yau/Wong team-up that came out just a year later. If it’s anything like this and their 1996 feature Ebola Syndrome, then we’ll be in for a great time. But as it stands right now, if you’re a fan of extreme Asian cinema and have the stomach for enduring brutal content, The Untold Story is the dish that will surely satisfy you. Be wary though, because as Inspector Lee says in the film, you never know what’s inside…
I’ve been wanting to see this for years, but I never got around to it. One of the strange things about this movie is, if I remember right, Anthony Wong won a legit best actor award in Hong Kong.
I’ve only seen a few CatIII movies. I liked most of them from the sexy stuff to the hard edge horror.
