Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is another Category III (CAT III) movie, starring Anthony Wong, so this is gonna be great !The movie starts with Anthony Wong (cheers from the audience !) investigating a murder of an entire family, the only member of the family who is still alive is the young Wei Fong (played by Lily Chung, a CAT III hottie), after some evidences, Wei Fong decides to confess a sad story of abuse and violence....from her family.Daughter of Darkness starts as a comedy, with the officer Lui (Anthony Wong) investigating the murder, making you to "forget" about the mean spirited and sad atmosphere that you was expecting. But after that Wei Fong decides to confess, the movie continues with THAT mean spirited and sad atmosphere that you was expecting ! Besides "The Untold Story", this is one of the ESSENTIAL CAT III movies, that every CAT III fan should check. The music is great for set up the "mood" of the scenes (especially of the "sad" ones). The performance of Anthony Wong was awesome, just like the one of Lily Chung. There are enough sex scenes to entertain the male audience.

DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS is a pretty sleazy Cat III "shocker" with themes of violence, rape, murder, incest, voyeurism, among other assorted nastiness, but before ya get too excited, this one is pretty mediocre. Lily Chung (who was Ming-Ming in the far superior RED TO KILL) plays another tortured soul (the type of role she seems to do so well...) who is the "black sheep" of her family. There doesn't appear to be any real rhyme or reason, but her mother, father, sister, and brother all hate her and treat her like complete garbage. Eventually she gets tired of the constant abuse (and the abuse takes many disturbing shapes) and flips the f'ck out. The rest is pretty typical Cat III history.DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS isn't bad, but it isn't nearly as much of a stand-out HK "shocker" as THE UNTOLD STORY, RED TO KILL, or THE EBOLA SYNDROME, for example. Anthony Wong has another great performance - and even though he is a cop in this one, he is still a twisted, perverse, filthy f!cking scum-bag (and that's why we love ya Tony!!!). One of the big problems is that DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS starts as almost a straight-up comedy, then switches mid-film into a typical Cat III sleaze-fest when Chung begins to tell her story of abuse to the cops. I don't much mind the comedic aspects that tend to go along with even the most shocking of these types of films, but DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS switched from comedy to serious drama in a blink, and made for a disjointed feel. Regardless, still a decent entry and worth a look for all you pervert douche-bags out there (like me...) ; ) 7/10

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*This is the third movie I've seen with Ming Ming, (Lily Chung), from "Red to Kill". My God she never disappoints. Once again she plays the shy, sweet, innocent girl who gets the boot slammed upside her head. What is it about this girl that drives men mad with lust and violence? I don't know but I like it. The DVD cover has a picture of her standing naked with her hands tied together. There are blood spots covering her private areas. This is not blood on her body mind you, but blood spots the filmmakers decided to use for the DVD cover. That way they're blocking your view of the sweet spots yet drawing you in like a bull to a flapping red cape. Charge!There are two parts to this flick. The first part is a goofy comedy. I use the word "comedy" loosely. The movie thought it was being funny but I wasn't laughing. Or smiling. In fact, I was worried this movie was going to break my heart. The cops stumble upon a murdered family. The head goofball cop does a lot of supposed funny things. He poses with the corpses, peeps on Ming Ming and basically just acts stupid. I was concerned. The second part of the movie is sleaze-o-rama. It flashbacks on why this family was murdered. The title of this flick is "Daughter of Darkness" but I think a more appropriate title would have been "Father of Darkness" or maybe "Family of Darkness". The sleaze pours out. Ming Ming gets smacked around and sexually abused by her family. She also has plenty of sex with her boyfriend. Why the movie needed to flashback on boyfriend sex is unknown but appreciated. The family murder scene is a four star buffet of carnage. This DVD is worth getting for the slaughter party at the end.

A young woman is maltreated by her family an raped by her father. All her family is killed. The daughter is suspected by a mad inspector (a sort of trash Nicky Larson) who is more interested by sex (very "scatological") than the investigation. What a strange movie! In fact, it's a mix between stupid comedy and very violent trash scenes (murder, incest, rape). I think this movie is really disconcerting for the occidental public. There is no morality, they deal with glaucous subjects with absurd humor. So, if you like the trash Asian way of making movies, try this one.Really fun.
