"Jiney" (Race Wong) is an art student who specializes in both painting and photography. One day she happens to hear a car accident not too far from where she is standing and rushes out to take a photograph of the dead man. After exposing the film she begins to have hallucinations which she then incorporates in her artwork. Soon she becomes fixated with blood and death and incorporates these two elements in all of her pictures. And the further she goes the more it scares her girlfriend "Jasmine" (Rosanne Wong)and her new friend "Anson" (Anson Leung). To further complicate the situation, Jiney has a childhood issue she still hasn't quite recovered from and somebody close to her has even worse psychological problems. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie had an interesting plot but the director (Oxide Chun Pang) was much too deliberate in his technique which caused the film to drag on much too long in some cases. Be that as it may, I thought that the presence of both Race Wong and Rosanne Wong definitely enhanced the scenery which certainly helped to some degree. In short, it wasn't a great movie by any means but it wasn't that bad either. Average.

'Sei mong se jun', with it's fascinating cinematography and background score tells us the story of Jiney. Jiney is a lonely, introverted and talented young lady who's in search of herself in a somewhat deceitful world. She only confides her thoughts to her friend/cousin Jas. She reveals a deep painful secret that is destroying her inner self. Photography is her passion but she lacks the inspiration to find it fulfilling until she develops a fascination (which gradually shifts to obsession) for death. Why does she find comfort and solace in such a disturbing act? The Pang brothers have really created a visually wonderful film. The camera, the lighting, the choice of colour, all of it adds to the beauty. Oxide Pang gives us a visual treat. The background piano tune really brings out the mood. The screenplay during the first hour is very well written and the events unfold quite smoothly. However, it is during the last 20 minutes that the plot seems to take a different direction and (spoiler alert) it was quite disappointing when the identity of the killer is revealed.The performances are quite good. Race Wong and Rosanne Wong share a warm chemistry and their relationship is very sensitively portrayed. Anson Leung as the awkward guy in love is impressive.This really is a worthwhile watch mainly because of it's visual appeal that really makes you feel a part of its world. Even otherwise it's quite a decent watch.

I'll tell ya, Asian horror films often reflect VERY crazy directors.I found this movie incredibly captivating and spine-tingling, but not in the sense of complete fear. To be honest, it is not so much of a scary movie as it is disturbing. You may watch it and feel a slightly insane part of you emerge, you may feel a strange, gut-churning sickness towards the plot but find a strange sense of satisfaction...Before witnessing the car accident, Jiney was a typical art student in college, mainly focused on photography. But after the accident, her obsession with death becomes a vessel to where she will end up...crazy, or triumphant over her childhood traumas. The movie follows her as she slowly spirals downward...and then in the end, she faces her final trial of either recovery or destruction.I warn you about the ending though...you won't know what hit you when you get there. The first 3/4 of the movie is beautiful and mesmerizing...that last quarter is a real smack in the face.

I give this movie a ten, and not lightly.It was beautifully filmed, and very artistic. The darker portions of the movie where you're engulfed in an eerie feeling are very dark and dingy in the colors selected, and yet so very bright when goals have been accomplished, putting forward a great feel and really intriguing anyone interested in artistic films. The writing wasn't great, but the story was amazing. Still, I'm drawn to the shots and beauty behind the movie.If you're looking for a creepy movie that isn't about the fairy tale monster, but rather the monsters we may look at every day, this' the movie for you.I recommend this movie whole heartedly. A GREAT watch.
