A taxi driver is taken into custody after picking up some suspicious photos of dead women from the developing place. From the get-go, he's adamant that he's innocent and was simply picking the photos up for someone else. The cops get his family involved, drag everyone down to the police station, and begin to ruthlessly beat a confession out of their main suspect. Then, when his sister starts relaying some past perversions she experienced as a kid and it is revealed that he took sexually explicit pictures of his niece, the truth starts to come out...
The crimes depicted in the film are based closely off of the real life killer, Lam Kor-wan, who killed four women in the late 70s-early 80s. He was dubbed "The Jars Murderer" due to his obsession with removing the breasts and sexual organs of his victims and storing them in containers. He would also engage in necrophilia and take photos and home-video of them in various forms of dismemberment.
"Dr. Lamb" is a well done film. Strong performances and some fairly graphic scenes of necrophilia and circular saw dismembering. Again, not as strong as "The Untold Story", "Daughter of Darkness" or "Ebola Syndrome", but still a worthy CATIII entry.
