I loved it
In the style of a 1985 soap opera
Has the look and feel of a soap opera from 1985 except with fewer twists, less campiness, no surprises, less suspense and a very long, drawn out plot.
On the plus side, the acting is really good and all the actors seemed believable in their characters. Plus, I love the fact that the creators didn't take themselves too seriously, adding humor throughout, especially in the first half. To me the plot isn't dark enough or gory enough to be horror, it's more like family drama with some wannabe horror moments touching on faux-occult.
The camerawork and musical score are good, but nowadays that's table stakes for most movies, and not something to brag about.
The biggest drawback is that, at two hours, this movie could have been edited down more efficiently to about an hour. Considering there are zero surprises, and the plot is predictable, turning this into two hours literally ruins the movie. Had it been much shorter it would have been far more interesting and the same story could have been told.
One of the best Nollywood movies of the past decade!
I don't think I've seen a Nigerian movie with cinematography this good in recent years The sound editing as well was clean The acting? It was top of the notch Erin from Ramsey Nouah, Swanky, and Munachi Abii The story was quite compelling as well Why it is rated this low really baffles me
Maybe because of movie runtime of funds available for shooting, but I felt they should have built more on the leading actors Character arc like they did for his father in the first installation Albeit a very engaging story, it fell off towards the end, this ending was really questionable, maybe rumours of a sequel are true, if not that will be the only real blemish on this magnificent body of work
