Production and soundtrack ruined a good story
blackcrafters3 November 2007
The story was interesting, the acting good, and the end provided sufficient closure. However, the production was awful. The picture needed to be clearer and the sound much better. At time I couldn't hear it well enough, but turning it up meant causing it to sound like screeching. All of these production problems seem to be common for Nigerian movies. The soundtrack ... definite overuse of the music (another common fault with Nigerian films), and too many long shots of nothing. For example, the camera focusing on feet walking ... at most, this should only be for a few seconds. But again, a common problem with these films. I would happily buy this movie (instead of just borrowing) if the production were more professional. No/low budget is no excuse. Technical training must be done to give these stories their due. Blood Sisters (1 & 2) was well written. Pretty much all of the dialogue was meaningful too. I mean, not a lot of wasteful or redundant words. I've seen quite a few Nigerian films, and this one is the best so far. It *moved* me. it also contained all the good elements that make a good, entertaining story. I'd give it a 10 if it weren't for the production problems and waste of film on useful footage (a car driving, a person walking, etc. ... Just too much time spent on these shots).
