Summary: The cast was a waste and the whole movie was expectable.
The serie of Troublesome Night was the longest one and looks like it will keep on going. Well, I have to admit that I like watching this serie whether any of those was bad because the first one was well done. Anyways, let's see how this one, the seventh chapter, was doing.

The movie as a whole was an expectable one. There ain't much you have to scratch your head to know what's the ghost story was mainly about. This time, you will receive a 1 ghost story rather than some previous chapters have 3 stories. By the way, it's a romantic-ghost horror flick so don't expect stunning scary moments. However, it was a very slow pace flick with an expectable plot.

Speaking of scary moments in the movie, maybe there are some pop-up moments to scare you but those were old tricks. For example, Simon popped up suddenly between a conversation of two people. The first time did scared me but as the director did it over and over again, it just too obvious with no effect.

As to the performances, the cast was back from previous chapters, like Louis, Simon, Amanda, Wayne, Law lan, etc. and this time added Chan Chun Ling in it. However, the performaces by Louis and Chan Chun Ling were a total waste. Throughout the movie, you will kept on hear both of them repeating the same dialogues over and over again while they were trying to reach each other at a different dimension. To say more, they should have a better role than that. All other actors in the cast went well as usual but nothing big.

To conclude, this movie just plain simple to watch with it's expectable plot. The main cast was a total waste were other actor/actress could be replaced. Also, the repeated dialogues between Louis and Chan Chun Ling were so annoying. Though there were many holes in this movie but with a few laughs to compensate. Afterall, this movie isn't good enough to last audience in front of the screen.
