Michael Ledo Jin is a top art student and photographer at her Hong Kong (?) university. When a car accident happens outside of her apartment, she pulls out her camera and that's it! That is the photo she was looking for! Jin become obsessed with photographing death to the dismay of her girlfriend Jasmine. Jin doesn't like boys. This stems from an issue as a child when apparently three boys (cousins?) took her panties down or something and her mom didn't believe her. They looked about 9 or 10 and I had trouble relating this incident to a life time of trauma...as did Jasmine. Jin seems to be getting over her death obsession, but has picked up an admirer which creates issues.Jin's drama appeared very fake as most Asian dramas. The film failed to capitalize on the horror saving everything for the last few minutes. The characters lacked realism.Guide: Nude model. No sex. F-word on Jin's shirt, most likely payback for all those "Japanese" shirts sold in the US in the 80's with obscene messages. Film is in Cantonese with English and Spanish subtitles available.

MovieGuy01 I thought that Ab-Normal Beauty was a good creepy horror film. It is about a young girl called Jiney who is a talented art student she had a trauma in her childhood and she did not communicate with her mother very much. She is a excellent photographer but she is not satisfied with her art work. When she witnesses a car crash, she is driven by a morbid wish and takes pictures of the dead victim. Soon Jiney becomes obsessed with death, her friend Jas thinks that Jiney needs help with her abnormal behaviour. Later she receives a snuff video where a girl is being tortured and killed in front of the camera. Jiney shows the tape to Jas, who asks if she thinks that the footage is real. They believe it is a prank of one of their friends. When the girls realise that it is not a joke Jiney receives another tape with the message telling her to take a look. When she sees the tape, she becomes scared with the footage. I thought that this was a great Asian horror film. Recommended.

Lccrusher "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" - Richie, "American Beauty" The Asian films are so different from American films. They put a different thought process behind it. They make you think about things, while many American films are just sit in the theater for 2 hours, watching nothing.The heart of this film is everything is beautiful. It can be a purple skyscraper. An overpass. Someone dead in the middle of the street from a car accident. This movie shows the beauty of the latter, which is good, until the character becomes obsessive about these pictures. Then it becomes a nice little thriller. Not jumpy, but it is wince worthy.At times, I almost felt bad for liking this movie so much, but it is now one of my favorite.

danstewart25 It's very easy to write a bad review. Every hack reviewer gets the temptation when sitting through a boring film to just pack in the screening, go home and write 500 words of spiteful critical mass. It's easy.But there are no words in the critical lexicon to convey the sheer, utter awfulness of this film. It's laughable. It's terrible. It's incredible that it got made.Firstly you have the frankly quite masturbatory concept - clearly thought-up by a creepily lascivious film producer - of having the film's two leads as hot teenage lesbians. Immature voyeuristic fantasy, anyone? I'm guessing censorship issues denied Mr Producer the chance to get the sapphic activities of these two lovely ladies on film: if you're watching this film to get your kicks you'll be disappointed.Hot lesbian #1 becomes obsessed with taking photos of dead animals. This plot strand takes up about an hour of the film, before it sinks into a dull rip-off of 8mm, Lost Highway, and Ringu. Hot lesbian #2 has little to do except stand around looking hot, and getting into sexy arguments. The shocks aren't shocking, and the gore isn't gory. If you're scared watching this, then you should steer well clear of Scooby Doo. Odd filters and silly jump editing do not a horror film make.The ending is ridiculous, and you will certainly feel cheated if and when you suffer the misfortune of watching this film. I don't know what 'Oxide Pang' was thinking. Perhaps he was thinking 'i can't think of a proper ending... i'll just make it up as i go along'. Not that it matters much, because it's so badly edited and lit you can hardly see what happens anyway.English-speaking viewers will be hampered by the ludicrously bad subtitles. At one point, a character asking (presumably)'why the long face' has her words translated as 'why are you so lengthy of countenance?'. Some lines aren't translated at all.If this hyperactive, under-lit, overwrought and incomprehensible film is the new face of bold Asian horror cinema then I'm Jackie Chan. You will regret watching this. It is almost an hour and half of your life that you could do far better things with. Visit your grandmother. Cook your wife a meal. Just don't for God's sake watch Abnormal Beauty.
