Description
Beautiful Brutal Bodies tells the story of Tian, a singer-songwriter with a massive online following, known for her hypnotic vocals and ethereal looks. However, behind the glamorous façade is a disturbing reality: raised in an isolated mansion, Tian is a prisoner in her own life.
Liya is Tian's childhood friend and her only close companion, tasked with protecting Tian at all costs. Hidden beneath Liya's beautiful human exterior is a beastly secret: her teeth are far too sharp, and her appetite much too ferocious.
When several fans mysteriously die while watching her livestream, Tian, along with Liya, are sent to a spiritual healing retreat on a remote island in the South China Seas. They are joined by Tian's musical collaborator Shenyu, a troubled idol seeking his own new start. But the trio soon discovers that the island is no peaceful getaway. There is constant surveillance, bizarre rituals, and something terrifying lurking in the forest—something not quite human.
In order to escape with her loved ones, Tian must uncover her connection to the island's blood-drenched legend and the truth behind Liya's monstrous identity before the island claims them all as its final sacrifice.
