Chrissie Chau Sau Na always dressed and behaved daringly. When she worked on Dennis Law Sau Yiu's new thriller WOMB GHOSTS (NGOK TOI) she suddenly became less brave. Because this film involved sensitive subjects like abortion, infant ghost raising and evil sorcery, Chrissie who played a nurse who had an affair with a married doctor (Lai Lok Yi). Later due to the accidental pregnancy their relationship ended, Chrissie began a bloody abortion scene. Later she also had a scene in which a ghost entered her body. The most horrifying was that she was not carrying a normal child but a womb ghost. Finally she and the womb ghost become connected and she became mentally unstable. It was quite an acting challenge.

Because the film touched on old evil sorcery like infant ghost raising, the crew shot in a Tai Po mansion to create an eerie atmosphere. The location was considered a valuable historical landmark, in the film it was the home of Chrisse and Moshan Master Old Pa. It was the location of many ghost haunting scenes. She needed to frequent this remote mansion at night. Although each time she would arrive with fear and anxiety, she honestly admitted that the eerie atmosphere was very well created and was able to help her get into character.
