RED TO KILL

Hong Kong created their equivalent of America’s “NC-17” rating a few years early, debuting “Category III” in 1988. Thus, an unforgettable, indelible wave of cinematic sleaze and explicit onscreen depravity was born. Billy Tang’s RED TO KILL might just be the most disturbing Category III-rated film of all-time.

A social worker takes on the case of Ming-Ming, a developmentally-disabled young woman orphaned after her remaining parent is killed in a car wreck. With the social worker’s help, Ming-Ming is admitted into a group home. As Ming-Ming's situation seems to brighten, a serial rapist terrorizes the building where the group home is located, and his M.O... women in red. One night he sets his sights on Ming-Ming, unleashing a fantasia of nihilism and vile particulars.
