Love to Kill (1993) is another rough ride that is the Category III cinema. Anthony Wong stars as a brutish and controlling husband who always keeps his wife (Elizabeth Lee) and son in check. After another sadistic night of love making, Elizabeth takes her son and leaves the flat. She seeks refuge in a police station. A nice but skirt chasing cop (Danny Lee in an out of character role) takes a liking to her and the kid. He agrees to let them stay at his flat. His live in girlfriend is out on a modeling assignment. Whilst Elizabeth is living their, Lee begins to have erotic day dreams about Elizabeth in various situations. Across town, Anthony is beginning to snap. He fantasizes all the time about what's Elizabeth is up too and who's she sleeping with. Feed up, he goes to Elizabeth's sick mother and waits for her. He sees her with Inspector Lee and he loses it completely. After stalking him some more, he sees her girlfriend coming home and savagely assaults and rapes her. Still not satisfied, he collects his son and wife and takes him to a house that he was having built for his family.
The mother-in-law, son and wife are all present. Armed with an ax and other tools, Anthony decides to have some fun and games with his family. He chases them all around the house. Lops of the mother-in-law's head and continues to brutalize his wife. We learn that Anthony's parents were both crazy and he watches one of them kill the other when he was a child. Elizabeth and Anthony go at it one on one, using whatever's handing to punish each other. Anthony is bludgeon, stabbed and slashed to death. Inspector Lee and the cops arrive but it's too late for her mother. The film ends with Elizabeth walking the streets of Hong Kong reliving the events of the movie in her mind and possibly losing her sanity.
Whoa, more craziness from Hong Kong. The movies that would come out later would try to top these earlier Category III releases but they could have never achieve the level of madness that made the first batch of C3 films so great. Adults only, no kiddies allowed.
Highly recommended.
