Lang Tong (2014) User Reviews

Laughable at times

[bazookamouth-221-898097 · 4/10 · 22 August 2019]

Noted as Singapores most controversial movie but the Netflix version must have been cut or maybe I missed something along the way. In a nutshell its about two incestious sisters who lure guys to their apartment to murder them and sell the body parts to a local restaurant owner. Not sure sell because money never is exchanged. Its a sick theme but the Malaysian pork rib soup was the scariest thing in this movie. A really annoying leading guy, two stick insect sisters, some flashbacks which are confusing and plenty of pork rib soup eating.

A half attempt at trying to make a film.

The rating is basically because of the sex scenes and the attractive women. They never show what happened to the first one stephanie after he dumped her. As for the pork bone soup. I won't be going near that at all. They don't really show in detail the important parts of the movie. I guess they had a limited budget.

Poor film

[ks-60500 · 3/10 · 19 April 2020]

The movie was filmed as a porn with so called "storyline". It's totally like 90s hk porn film just the background is Singapore instead. No new elements, unprofessional acting. I rate 3 cuz the nudity part, if no nudity, probably 1.5 rating.

Softcore

[AJx91 · 2/10 · 20 June 2021]

A softcore film with bad sound effects. The reviews that have come before me are all correct and true. I wasn't scared once, and the plot line is so basic. That you could tell it in 6 sentences.

I'm just adding one star for Angeline Yap and the other girls who did their best to carry this film. They looked beautiful in it. The Actresses did nothing wrong.

A better softcore film, would be "High Society" 2018 Korean-movie.

A delightfully unpleasant erotic thriller from Singapore

[Tweekums · 7/10 · 10 December 2022]

Zack is a philanderer and a conman. In the early scenes we see him getting into a relationship Stephanie. He persuades her to give him a large sum of money, telling her a property deal went wrong. Soon afterwards she catches him with another woman... he dumps her and we see her heading to the roof of a tall building. Zack moves onto Li Ling, a woman living with her sister Li Er. It isn't long before he is having sex with both of them. Inevitably things will ultimately get rather unpleasant... but for whom?

I was rather surprised by the low rating for this film as I thought it was rather fun in a twisted and unpleasant way. It is shot with a washed out colour palette that gives everything a grungy feeling and makes the pork bone soup they regularly eat look grey and unappetising... somewhat appropriately. There are relatively few characters and the cast playing them goes a solid job. There is quite a lot of sex and nudity; certainly more than I expected from a Singaporean film. There is also some violence, this isn't particularly graphic but it is disturbing at times. Overall I'd recommend this to fans of more outré cinema looking for something from somewhere different.

These comments are based on watching the film in Mandarin with English subtitles.

Loved the film

[blegho · 10/10 · 29 March 2024]

I'm surprised it has really low rating. Personally, I love the movie and its plot. The plot and theme might be a bit unusual but it was really unpredictable.

Also, the comment above portraying the two lead actresses as incestious sisters didn't really pay attention to the movie as they are actually not related.

The movie started with most of the actors living pork rib soup and ended by showing up most of the pork rib soup being sold by a particular restaurant is actually human meat, which is actually an amazing way for the lead actresses to get rid of the corpse of their victims. Really crazy.
