Up there. Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
A welcome to the slowly evapourating life of the once booming Hong Kong cinema. The dark plot is stylish and refreshing, bringing the feel of suspense back into Hong Kong movies....However, the whole movie is ultimately let down by the closing act, which is not only ridculous but tedious as well. The acting is in obvious need of improvement for both leading actresses, even so they do a okay job portraying their respectable characters. I would recommend this film to anyone looking for something dark and psychological, but be warned that you might be let down by the overall turnout. Still, you could always switch the film off before watching the ending.... 7/10

Disappointing Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
It is clear from recent product released separately by the Pangs that they produce MUCH better films when working together than they do when working apart.
Oxide Pang seems to really need Danny's steadying influence to keep him from going too far off the rails in balancing style versus narrative.
This IS a very stylishly-made film, I do not deny that. The direction is superb. And 2R do very well in their roles. BUT WHERE WAS THE STORY?
Just as Danny needs Oxide's wild side to liven up his dull films like "Leave Me Alone", Oxide clearly needs Danny's steady eye for perhaps more mainstream cinema to keep ANY suspense and/or narrative running through a film.
I was really looking forward to this film, but I ultimately felt let down by the lack of exciting plot or even a reason to root for the characters.
Oxide's "Abnormal Beauty" is all style and no content, whereas Danny has his feet on the ground with "Leave Me Alone" but his film has no real style.
It seems that, together, the Pangs work extremely well. (Unequalled, in many respects.)
When they're apart, based on this recent evidence, they just . . . . don't.

Weird and Wonderful Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Ignore the film description above as it does nothing for a film that should be received with recognition.

A combination of Japanese and Hollywood style, the film portrays a woman with a loss of identity. The pace and filming is beautifully accurate and when watching the film, you would never guess that it is a Hong Kong production. Thumbs up for the director and cinemagrapher.

Style over Content Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Another new horror-thriller entry from the Pang brothers with new beauty faces of 2R and young kid Chun-i Leung. On the whole, the movie can be seen as organized into 3 parts: (1) Race's obsession with photographing the dead & deceased; (2) Psychological recovery of Race from dead art obsession; & (3) incoming a snuff film psycho-killer & the final confrontation with Race.

The film excels in the stylistic editing of the Pang Brothers & the cool cinematography and art direction team coming with a whole Thai crew. However, the cinematic images are too filled up with ideas borrowed directly from Georges Franju's Eyes Without A Face & Blood of the Beasts. The third part of the film narative also takes full advantage of Alejandro Amenabar's debut, Tesis. Though the last part is also the most violent one, the mystery element of whodunit fails to build up the necessary tension & the resolution looks too laughably naive and unconvincing.

The movie is still worth a watch as a rare HK product with images that look more Euro-cult than the standard Hollywood-style. It would be too good if the Pang Brothers can work out a better script but keep up with the hybrid of Euro-horror elements & a unique Asian setting.
