Ab-Normal Beauty
seen at BIFFF 2005
Jiney (Race Wong) is a beautiful, rich university student, specializing in photography. Her work is great, teachers love her & people are sure she's the next big thing. But Jiney doesn't care much for it. She's not satisfied with her work and still thinks she’s missing something. Until the day Jiney witnesses a car crash! She is in full doubt if she should take pictures or help but eventually starts taking pictures of the dying people in the car wreck.


This one moment in her life combined with some bad childhood memories turns Jiney into a psychological wreck. Complete schizophrenia is taking over. Jiney begins to see the moment of death is aesthetic. Addicted to the moment something dies she's starts paying butchers to kill animals in front of her camera. These morbid pictures become a horrid obsession. These images of death & destruction turns on Jiney and when she is finally able to shoot a suicide, she finds complete sexual relief and totally losses herself.






However, knowing that her sexual desires are not right, Jiney wants to stop this before it gets out of hand. Together with her intimate friend Jasmine (Rosanne Wong), Jiney starts to acknowledge her wrong behaviour. Suddenly she receives a snuff video from a killer who is sharing the same artistic idea about death as Jiney.
Realising she's not alone with these feelings she's losing control again, until she meets the killer face to face.



The Pang brothers (Oxide Pang & his twin brother Danny) are doing it again, with a beautiful movie about an extreme obsession. Ab-normal beauty is the eight movie for Oxide, with his brother Danny he made Bangkok Dangerous, The Eye and Tesseract.
Although snuff isn't new in the horror genre [if you thought Belgium wasn’t ready for this genre yet, go type in Project-X in our search box) the brothers have made a movie full beauty & horror.
