MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

ElijahCSkuggs I knew it'd happen again one day, another poor CAT3 film came my way. With quotes such as The Chinese Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it's a movie you almost HAVE to see. Well, that ain't the case. Really, this is a completely passable CAT3 entry that is utterly a completely below average flick. And if you compare it to other classic CAT3's, it feels much worse. The story is about a killer who takes the skin of his victims to make....duuhhh, High Heels. Well, neither the killings nor the high heels are very impressive. There are a few nice scenes involving some sleazy rape n sex, but besides those choice scenes, even the murders and death is almost yawn worthy. All actors involved are very forgettable, well besides the killer, he may fit in the "so bad it's good" category for acting. Everyone else is emotionless and just plain bad. The story itself sucks. Big surprise there! Combine crappy actors, weak writing and not enough of the "good stuff" the movie begins to become boring and feel uneventful.Horrible High Heels isn't completely horrible, but it isn't even close to be worthy of being talked among some of the classic CAT3 flicks. Film such as Chinese Torture Chamber Story, Untold Story, Red to Kill, these are where it's at. If I were you, I'd pass on this and re-watch one of the classicks. But if you are like me and are in love with the CAT3 universe, then I suppose check it out. Just don't expect anything fantastic.

vilegore This is a thoroughly perverse and gore addled category 3 film from Hong Kong. For those who don't know, category 3 basically means 'rated as containing nudity and/or hardcore violence', and if thats what your looking for, this totally incoherent film delivers. I'm not too sure if the lack of linear structure is down to bad subtitles, s****y cuts or a godard fetish or even an excess of drugs, but this does deliver on important scores of bezerk originality, up front nastiness, and frothing insanity. If you manage to track a copy of this increasingly rare film down you will see what i mean; human skin is turned into ladies leather shoes at a luckless shoe factory, a maniac does something very very odd with a duck and a photo of a co-worker, cute asian girls are hassled in pretty bizarre ways by the killer of the title....... Well its a sleazy piece of schlock. Its very good but make sure you've got a 6 pack and you aint expecting Kurosawa, if you get my drift. L8R

rustyangel13 Yup, you're probably wondering about the name. Nope, it's NOT a transvestite or homosexual film! It's more wacky fun from the "Body Horror" genre. Triple H (no, not the wrestler) is Category 3 at it's best (or worst, whichever the case may be). It's ingredients are: one part porn movie, one part Kung-Fu Theatre, one part cheezy B action flick, and one part TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. Well, how can you go wrong with that, huh?! Basic storyline... a group of gangsta's help to supply a shoe store with a new fantastic line of special imported leather. The reason it's so special is because it's made from human skin! Anyone's a potential victim but they prefer young men and women. Softer and more elastic, I guess. If they catch ya, they'll kill ya, cut ya up, and skin ya for shoe leather. But not only that, there's scenes a-plenty of rape, murder, exploitation, and foul behavior that can only be seen as totally vile, totally loathsome, and just down right nasty. One in particular involves a picture of a woman's face with her mouth cut out taped to a live duck ass-end up. I'll let your imagination fill in the blanks of that story. And one thing I just couldn't quite understand, if you love someone, why would you want to urinate on them the first chance you get them alone? Like I said before, just plain nasty. Movies like this could give China a really bad name.

handodk If you want to watch this movie after my comments I will suggest you use the fast forward button. This movie is very confused..it is poorly acted and lousy written. I could forgive all this if it was groundbreaking in any way, but no. It´s about this shoefactory were people disappear and end up as fine quality shoes. All the characters are unpleasant, so who cares who kills who. There is a subplot involving some local thugs - an excuse to make some lame shootout in the end. The only good thing about this movie is a lot of softcore scenes, but it cant save this turkey. A fair amount of blood though, if anyones interested.
