Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Review by chaos-rampant – ★★★★☆ “Dr. Lamb’s narrative structure bears more than a passing similarity to that of another infamous category III shocker, The Untold Story. Both deal with ‘true-life murders’, both show the police investigation and apprehension of the murderer, the subsequent interrogation (ie. beating) of the prisoner, and the retelling of the crimes in shocking flashbacks. And both have seemingly out of place comedic moments. But where The Untold Story was unashamedly OTT sleaze and gore, Dr. Lamb is a more stylish affair. The cinematography is beautiful (maximum use is made of creative lighting with many scenes swathed in blue and red), the acting is great (Simon Yam and Danny Lee give solid performances and even the actresses playing corpses are convincing) and the direction is well handled by both star Lee and Billy Tang.”
2. Review by hotsake – ★★★☆☆ “Dr. Lamb is only my second Cat III flick, and while it’s not as good as the first (the generally well regarded The Untold Story), it’s still a decent example of Asian sickness. Directors Danny Lee and Hin Sing ‘Billy’ Tang do an excellent job of presenting a bleak and depressing atmosphere, which bodes excellently with the style and content of the film.”
