Plot: When Lai's mother falls ill, he returns from Canada to care for her. Years ago, he was sent there because he had special powers that allowed him to see ghosts. His powers have since lain dormant, but his return to Hong Kong awakens something in Lai. The building where his mother lives has seen a fair number of deaths lately, and Lai suspects something is off on the 7th floor. When he finally sets off to investigate, all his powers return. There's more going on than just some ominous spirits roaming the premises, and Lai will have to fight for his life.

A fun, well-executed, yet very classic Hong Kong horror film. It's probably because it's been a while since I've watched one of those, the Hong Kong movie industry is pretty much dead these days, but I enjoyed this one quite a bit. The performances are solid, the setting is lovely, and there are some moody scares, though nothing too extreme or novel. The polished cinematography is what raised the film to the next level, but keep your expectations in check, especially if you're tired of Asian horror cinema.
