overview
What is Medium Rare about?
Singapore's first full-length English language film, released in local cinemas in November 1991. Loosely based on the Adrian Lim ritual murders in the early 1980s, the film was shot and produced in Singapore. It was the debut filmmaking effort for its executive producer, Errol Pang, and it has been credited with reawakening Singapore's local film scene. In the movie's ending, the main character based on Adrian Lim escapes from prison and runs into an incoming truck, where Satan catches him and subjects him to eternal torture – this was said to be added to suggest to the audience that crime does not pay. It blends crime, thriller elements. The film reflects a distinct Singapore style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Arthur Smith. With a runtime of 2h 21m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
