The Untold Story is a 1993 Hong Kong crime-horror film directed by Herman Yau and starring Danny Lee and Anthony Wong, with the former also serving as the film's producer.
The film is based on the "Eight Immortals Restaurant murders" that took place on 4 August 1985 in the Hei Sha Wan section of Areia Preta, Nossa Senhora de Fátima, Portuguese Macau. While the massacre of a family of 10 did occur at the restaurant, the alleged cannibalism is sensationalism inferred from the incomplete discovery of the victims' corpses, only finding limbs, and the lack of a smell of decomposition despite the tropical summer heat.
The film was followed up by two unrelated sequels: The Untold Story 2, with Wong returning in a supporting role, and The Untold Story 3 with Lee returning in another role.
