Ab-normal Beauty. I liked this Asian movie, but it does start out pretty slow. The lead character becomes obsessed with death after she takes a picture of a woman who was hit by a car. For the biggest part of the movie, she does a lot of taking pictures of dead animals and reading books full of pictures of dead people, and she spazzes out a lot. There's also the requisite "incident" from her past that troubles her. All of that was weird, but it was the last 30 minutes or so that really grabbed my attention. She started getting these strange videotapes that show people being tortured and killed. It turns into a classic "whodunit" of sorts, but there are some pretty intense scenes. Warning: If you are sensitive to scenes of cruelty to animals or women, you might think twice before watching this movie. I didn't think the scenes were any worse than what I've seen in other movies, but I know people who freak out every time an animal or woman gets hurt. I just want to give everyone a fair warning.
