8/10
A real stomach churner!
2 November 2008
In Hong Kong, an owner of a small Dumpling restaurant named Aunt Mei (Bai Leng) is famous for her special dumplings that help rejuvenation fast. Retired TV Actress Mrs. Lee is a loyal costumer who enjoys her delicious delicacy and feels more younger, but her dirty bastard of a husband is cheating on her as it wouldn't make any difference. Mei use to be a former abortionist and later Mrs. Lee will soon discover the secret recipe.

Grueling, well acted and alarming horror thriller from Hong Kong that is one of the most shocking films to ever come from Asia. Director-Editor Fruit Chan has made one sick little movie that doesn't really have much gore but disturbing subject matter to make the viewer a little queasy. There is some dark humor to propel the sickening atmosphere of this movie that makes this little film one controversial shocker. The cinematography is well crafted and the direction is quite nifty, this movie will guaranteed to mess with your mind once it's over.
