YesAsia Editorial Description
Bamboo Door, Bamboo Door + The Dogs is a VCD collection of two short films, each using small budgets and filmmaker ingenuity to spin wildly involving and intriguing tales of horror. In the first film, Bamboo Door, Bamboo Door, filmmaker Wong Ching Po (the heralded young director of the hit Andy Lau-Jacky Cheung gangster epic Jiang Hu) weaves a disturbing tale about a dysfunctional family whose shocking secrets are about to come to spilling out. The companion film, The Dogs, details a mysterious and even sickening connection between two disaffected youth, a runaway and an affluent teen. Taken together, these films comprise a collection of lesser-known films which are neither for the squeamish nor for those who think Disney animation represents the greatest accomplishment of the movie-making world. Easily earning their Category III ratings, Bamboo Door, Bamboo Door and The Dogs are sharp and harrowing journeys into the darkness and distasteful ugliness present in all humanity.

2 disturbing tales of the human abyss
| A warning on the VCD cover reads: "If watching "the dogs" and "Bamboo Door, Bamboo Door" arouses emotional disturbance or symptoms of nervous breakdown, please consult a physician and destroy the VCD immediately." Do the movies live up to the promotional dis- claimer? Yes, I would think so. They are NOT your typical HK horror movies - no Taoist priests fighting hopping vampires. Instead they are two disturbing tales of the human abyss: incest, alienation, degradation, emotional and sexual abuse. Please note: these films are SICK ( especially "the Dogs") and surely not for everyone, not least for their "arthouse" look. The movies excell in every department: direction and camerawork are outstanding and the actors deliver powerhouse performances ( I liked the young actress who played the crippled girl Ming in "Bamboo Door, Bamboo Door" most.) The harrowing scores add immensely to the impact. Both films are letterboxed, picture quality is quite acceptable for the VCD format with "Bamboo Door" superior to "Dogs", the subtitles are easy on the eyes. Recommended viewing, but be aware: watching these movies is quite a depressing experience. |
