The premise
Jiney is an popular art and photography student, but despite winning an award, she remains unhappy with her work. After photographing the aftermath of a fatal car accident, she finds herself obsessed with death. Suffering from morbid throughts, flashbacks of an incident from her youth when she was sexually abused by some young boys start to appear.
Horror Vault's take
A gifted Hong Kong photography student stumbles into a dangerous fixation after capturing death on camera, blurring the line between artistic ambition and a deeply troubled psyche. Haunted by buried trauma from her past, her obsession with mortality pulls her further from the world around her — and closer to something far more dangerous. Ab-normal Beauty is a slow-burn psychological portrait that lingers on the darkness lurking beneath creative compulsion. Fans of arthouse Asian horror will find it equal parts meditative and deeply unsettling.
