SYNOPSIS:
Brother of Darkness begins with a young man, Toh (Hugo Ng Doi-Yung) on trial for the brutal murder of his brother, Wah (William Ho Ka-Kui). As the court case unfolds and witnesses take the stand, a horrific tale of sibling abuse, domestic violence and all-round thugary ensues. We discover that Toh was subject to frequent attacks by Wah whenever he returned to the family home after being released from prison; one attack in which he was kicked in the groin having caused sexual hypogondism and as a result unable to have penetrative intercourse.
This physical castration leads to the breakdown in the relationship between Toh and his long-term girlfriend Jenny (Lily Chung Suk-Wai) and a festering resentment between the brothers. However, Wah’s almost hyper-masculine aggression is not only directed at his adopted brother, but is also vented against his beautiful wife (Chan Pooi-Kei) and long-suffering parents. Wah is forever after money to finance his gambling and drug addictions and in a particularly brutal attack attempts to rape Jenny while his mother (Lai Suen) tries but fails to intercede. Toh returns home just in time to rescue Jenny, but it is the last straw for his mother who in despair attempts to hang herself. After years of being the victim of his brother’s violence, Toh loses control and beats his brother to death. Will the Jury find Toh guilty or not?
