Category III rating of Hong Kong cinema was created to classify those films filled with extreme violence and graphic sex,allowing them to be released free from censorship.Unfortunately "Horrible High Heels" is a slightly boring Cat III shocker that offers plenty of sex and some grisly gore.A sadistic killer has been skinning dead bodies and using their skin to make shoes.He sells such products to some unknowing shoemakers whose shoes are praised for their comfortable soft leather."Horrible High Heels" is a pretty depraved flick,but it's nowhere nearly as powerful as "Red to Kill" or "The Untold Story".The killings are mean-spirited and sadistic(the dismemberment of a young Chinese woman is especially memorable),but there is absolutely no suspense.The film is pretty hard to take seriously and the acting is absolutely bad.The sex scenes are plentiful and the sleaze factor is pretty high.Overall,"Horrible High Heels" is a mildly enjoyable piece of HK exploitation,so if you liked "Ebola Syndrome" give this one a try.6 out of 10.
