Brought to you from the same writer and director(s) of The Untold Story featuring a story that's just as tasteless! I wish I knew why this movie was called Dr. Lamb when the lead character is a psycho cab driver (Simon Yam). It also involves some of the same policeman characters from The Untold Story such as Detective Lee (played by Danny Lee who also co-directed) and Bo (played by Emily Kwan) and Eric (Eric Kei). Again we got the comedy of the cops played out against seriously sick and twisted crimes against women.

We first meet Lam Gor-Yu as an alienated 12 year old, he lives with his father and stepmother. A friend dares him to pull down his stepsister's pants and when he tries, is caught by his father (who thinks he's just curious and should be allowed to see) while his stepmother is horrified. She catches him peeking at her and his father while making love then shoves him in a closet. It's obvious his stepmother doesn't care for him. He grows up and still lives at home with his father, brother, sister and her little girl but he's still alienated. The family doesn't really talk to him and while they work days, he works nights so they barely see each other.

One night, he picks up a hooker who berates him so he kills her. This seems to do something for him so when it rains, he goes out and picks up women then kill them. He's finally caught when he takes a roll of film to get developed and they're of some of his victims! The cops pick him up but he says nothing. They bring his family in and beat him a lot but he still says nothing until they show his family pictures of what looked like him touching his niece inappropriately. His family goes off on him and he tells the police everything.

From there, the movie goes in flashback and we get really awful scenes of carnage and even necrophilia. It helps that he taped a lot of his crimes so his trial is swift. The female cop, Bo, throws up as they watch the tape of him having sex with a dead school girl that he actually liked and mistakenly killed. Another part of the tape shows him cutting the breasts off one of his victims and putting it in a jar of liquid. They use that in a really nasty, supposedly humorous scene where the female cop gets it tossed on her back! By the way, the way she reacts to criminal scenes, it really makes you wonder why she became a cop!

Anyway, Lam brings home his victims and dismembers them , keeping parts in his room-all under the nose of his fearful family. He'd been accused of sexually assaulting a girl but his father says there was no evidence so he was never officially charged. They tie several missing women to Lam's taxi log, it seems that he would write action whenever he killed. Like I said before, the tapes help make justice swift but then he gets upset with the authorities when they don't return his tapes and that's how the movie ends!

Our clever webmaster tells me that Simon Yam is quite the heartthrob in Asia but after seeing this, I can't imagine why. Simon Yam is an attractive actor but in this film, he fluctuates between sinisterly quiet to over the top crazy. Danny Lee is dependable as usual, with Emily Kwan being the typical helpless female character. Much like The Untold Story, there's no method to Lam's madness for his crimes. He seems to be a quiet kid whose stepmother disliked him but no real trauma that sends him over the edge this way, unless you count his mother's death. I don't really recommend this film though, the story is just too tasteless.
