Having also read the favourable reviews of this low-key number, I decided to give it a whirl. Like the other reviewers here, I rate it as a highly favourable experience. In fact, it was unlucky not to have been included in my year's top ten for this site's Movie Direction Election. To me this is a sign that HK in 2001 had one of its most promising years in film production for some time. However, I seem to be alone in this assertion.

NIP7 does well in that it conveys a level of subtlety also apparent in another commendable 2001 HK ghost feature, HORROR HOTLINE. The film never resorts to shock tactics (well, almost never) or cliched antics to grab the audience's attention, rather it keeps the proceedings at a steady, low-key pace.

Not a great fan of Andy Hui, but his performance is sufficient and those of his co-stars more so, especially Rachel Lee and Simon Loui, who gets another gold star for one of his scripts. With tools like these, a talent like Herman Yau can hardly go wrong.

Yes, I would definately tell my friends about this film. However, I gave up on them years ago. Their loss.
