Filled with trite avant garde cuts and film school gimmicks
NG is just another piece of work from an indie filmmaker
hoping to use a shocking tragedy as a means to get noticed.
Understandably it’s hard to tell a story in the nine minute
running time, but ominous music and sweeping camera pans to
the antagonist’s face don’t do much except call attention to
the fact that this movie doesn’t have that much to say. |

The fabricated home video footage of the two killers drags along and
the reveal of their trussed up victim is not much of a surprise.
Not a profile of the life and deeds of these killers or a history of the
events leading up to this crime, Ng is really just filler that tries to
bring the audience into the mind of the serial killers.
Of course since nothing is explained up until the end of the
piece via onscreen captions, there really is no real point of what leads
up to the supposed informative reveal.
