It looks pretty, but it's slow and, considering the subject matter (lesbian photographer becomes obsessed with death!), it's really really tame, too. Doesn't really know what kind of horror it wants to be, so it all just comes out flat...

pretty good storyline. there twists and turns that aren't seen coming. Americans should watch out. Asian people are starting to have a cornerstone on horror
-
MCT:February 4, 2008Very good film combining the gritty and corny sides of Asian horror into an interesting cocktail of blood!

The movie could have been so much better if the pices of the plot were put together in a better way.
It has some very disturbing moments of violence and the main character's artistic atraction to death is chilling but the event from her past appears to be somehow disconected from the main subject of the movie.
The end is predictable, especially if you really pay attention to the details: the moments that seams irrelevant to the story are ALWAYS the key to the mistery.
Overall, Ab-Normal Beauty is a regular horror movie without a particular brilliant moment. But what I liked the most about it was its amazing score. The movie's music is just brilliant. It can turn a rather dull horror movie into an exciting and intense one. -

Despite the subtitles I actually enjoyed this movie. I thought the movie could have got away with rated it a 15 as there was little bad language, very little nudity and the subject matter was not overly graphic. Well done to the director and the 2R girls.

The begining is an interesting view of an artistic obsession spiralling out of control, but I feel the ending was somewhat lacking in punch despite how graphic it was.
-
MCT:July 6, 2007Hm. It's really nothing special. I've watched so many better horror movies and this one is just not even near a great horror. I like photography, but everything else is simply bullshit. It has two many stories. It looks like the director had too many ideas and didn't know how to handle it.

A tense,brilliantly acted horror/thriller about a photography student who gets bored taking "normal" photos and starts taking pictures of death;dead people and animals.So much so that it becomes an obsession that becomes very dangerous.
-
MCT:May 24, 2007Awesome! Take advantage of the brief bit of normalcy in the middle breakfast scene to catch your breath before the end. You're going to need it! ^.^

Beautiful haunting movie to watch. It starts out very artsy and then towards the end kind of goes all Hostel on you. Recommended for sure.
-
MCT:February 14, 2007Long and drawn out with a twist outta nowhere and somewhat lame ending. It does have a nice aesthetic directing style and near the climax you start to get drawn in, but mostly disenchanting. Definitely not near the top echelon of Tartan Asia Extreme movies.

A pretty solid Korean suspense film. It doesn't deliver many scares, but puts forth a very interesting premise that is occasionally compromised by adding too much to the plot. Some of the subplots didn't really seem to move the story forward, and a few scenes dragged.
The Wong sisters, playing the two female main characters, have a lot of screen presence and acting talent. All of the other major performances are pretty slow.
Ab-Normal Beauty's final strength is its visual construction. The movie is absolutely gorgeous, both in cinematography and in composition. Even all of the actors are beautiful. -
MCT:October 1, 2006One of the better Asia Extreme films I've seen so far. Really beautiful, genuinely creepy and generally a nice story.

A fantastic and really promising first half gradually unwinds and unravels into something rather predictable and pedestrian. My first Pang bros. film though & I want to see more.

A visually nightmarish Asian horror film which tells the story about a photographer who gets obsessed with photographing dead things. Eventually, her interest in the subject gets her stalked by someone with the same interest in the macabre. The violence in this film is rough and uncomfortable like the rest of the movie.
