Shan kou

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095162/
a.k.a. Beasts; Flesh and the Bloody Terror; The Beasts
A classic Hong Kong category 3 rape revenge movie.
Ah Ling ( Ching Yee Chong ) and her older brother Ah Wa is going out to the small village Kau Wah Shan with their friends to camp.
Ling packs her pillow and her teddybear; the pink panther - a clear message that she is really young, don´t worry though, Ah Ling is older then that sounds. As you might have guessed - Ah Ling gets raped - gangraped.

At the small village some guys live, they are lowlifes more or less, stealing hens from the villagers etc and their friends Mo (alltough credited as Moe in imdb link) is a bit chubby/slow in the head and they taunt him. Mo is also, the conscience of the group - in the same way as Matthew was in I spit on your grave for example.

Ling with Pink Panther















Mo ..what re you doing?














The gangrape

Ling survives the gangrape and later on ends up crazy, we see her sitting in a white padded room, her father - called Pa (as in papa) also looses his mind and sets out to Kau Wah Shan to get the beasts ….

Poor Ling getting raped












We who have seen CAT 3 Hong Kong movies before, we know that they use sound effects in a special way. In Shan kou they increase the sound when they rip Ah Lings underwear apart so it more spounds like a whiplash.
After the rape, wich takes place by the waterfall, we see briefly the water turing red for a second.




















Beside the brutality there is a really funny scene in Shan kou, where the five beasts are at a local pub on of the rapists try to pick girls up - he finds one that interrests him, so he leans down and smells her butt and she accidently farts in his face.

What isn´t so funny though, beside the gangrape, is the animal cruelty - beheading a snake for example. I really don´t see any point of that, in any movie. But beside that, Shan kou is a movie to get.



From funny we go to the scary, this time Snake.....

Couldn´t find any trailer, the only clip is the funny scene from the pub wich is linked above.

Note. The version I reviewed is only 86 minutes and the uncut is in 90 minutes.
