This is the film that launched the late-90s/early-2000s revival of Cat III as softcore erotic thrillers. Naked Poison features a man who develops a chemical agent that makes people lose their inhibitions. It is softcore sex wrapped in a "thriller" plot.
It is stylized, melodramatic, and features a 15-minute climax of bloodshed. For fans of I Spit on Your Grave , this is the Hong Kong equivalent. It is less known than The Untold Story but equally vicious. Director: Aman Chang hong+kong+cat+3+movie+list+top
The infamous sequence involves photographing corpses with Polaroids and preserving body parts. It is a grim, rainy, nihilistic film. Simon Yam reportedly felt so dirty after making this that he refused to do another Cat III film for years. Note: Often confused with #1, this is the direct "Category III" version. Actually, the true Cat III classic is Herman Yau’s version listed at #1. However, be aware there is a 1993 film called The Untold Story 2 (aka Human Lamp Shade ), which is arguably even more depraved but lower budget. Stick to the original 1993 release. 6.
