Run And Kill (1993) *

A man unwittingly hires a killer to murder his wife. This film contains one of the most shocking scenes ever put on film: a demented killer (Simon Yam) burns a little girl alive, then takes her charred corpse and shows it to her father, mockingly imitating her voice: "Daddy, I'm dark. Don't you recognize me ?". The rest of the movie is equally repulsive, but at least there is some dark humor to relieve the tension. But the murder scene is played straight, making it completely unbearable even for the most jaded and tolerant viewers. There is no sex or nudity, only extreme violence. This is not a gory-but-fun exploitation flick, but a truly monstruous film that begs for censor's scissors. Only recommanded for those truly sick viewers who have lost all sense of decency and moral values. Box office: 6 million HK.
