Lang Tong

2015 · 83 min

A sleek, nasty erotic thriller that keeps you uneasy with its cold scheming and sudden bursts of violence.

Overview
Zach, a remorseless serial womaniser and con man, meets his match in Li Ling, an alluring and well-to-do woman who makes a wicked bowl of pork rib soup. Things take an unexpected turn when Zach meets Li Ling's younger sister, the drop-dead gorgeous Li Er. Soon enough, Zach turns his lecherous attentions towards Li Er, and they begin an affair behind Li Ling's back. Li Er convinces Zach to help her execute a heinous plot to murder her older sister, whom she blames for causing her mother's death. However, things are not as simple as they seem.
