Thanks for the memories!
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Three friends find a figurine reputed to have magical powers in a remote part of Nigeria and bring it back to Lagos. Suddenly their luck in life radically changes for the better, but when they meet again seven years later... A brilliant film: it treats one of Nollywood's (Nigerian Hollywood) common themes - sorcery, witchcraft and the supernatural - in a novel way to ask questions about the nature of fear, and about the source of evil. To lighten the suspense there are many wonderfully comic moments, multiple love interests, all played convincingly by a very talented cast. Could not recommend this highly enough!
