Great story....AWFUL acting
blisa-5239612 March 2018
The story was really great. I really enjoyed it. The acting on the other hand was so bad, it was laughable. I also thought the camera was extremely unsteady, which just equates for poor editing. If they ever remake this film, which I do hope someone does do in the future, please choose your cast and crew more carefully next time. It is a pity to let such a beautiful story go to waste with such awful taker showcasing it.

Psychological Horror, Nollywood Style!!!
meddlecore14 October 2017
A young couple- expecting a new baby- move into a new house, which they acquire for a crazy good deal.

But things might be too good to be true.

Because, as soon as they move in, the man's girlfriend starts seeing things. Things moving, things turning on or opening by themselves...and also a cloaked and hooded demon of some sort.

But nobody else sees it, so they all think she is going crazy from the pregnancy...or has become bewitched.

Eventually, she loses the baby to a miscarriage...but she truly believes that it was stolen by the demon.

Now, he's upset with his wife...and starts to push her away. Until...he starts to see the same demon...

Now he thinks he's going crazy, because of the loss of the baby.

He refuses to believe there is anything wrong with the house, despite his wife being adamant, that is where the problem lies.

But, after he mistakes his wife for the demon and beats her up, his friend convinces him to hire a spiritualist. If only to figure out what is going on.

Turns out, when he bought the house, there was a grave inside. He and his friend dug up the body and moved it, because he feared his wife would not accept living in a house with a dead body.

Now, he must return the man to his grave and leave the house...or he will perish...

But he can't, because they disposed of his bones in a way that they can' be retrieved. So, they use a psychic to settle a deal with the angry spirit...to return the house to his family's heirs...so that they can be forgiven.

The rest of this 2 hour film (it's not short!), is the guy sleuthing his way to find out whose house it originally was...and it culminates with a weird nuclear family situation...and the mentioning of a war I had to google (though I had actually heard of it, just not by that name).

Honestly, this film is bad, but in a great way. I enjoyed the sh*t out of this. It had me laughing- at the bad jokes, the cheesy scare gags, the mediocre acting, and over the fact that the lead actor is the Nollywood version of Cuba Gooding Jr.

And just think about it...this is 1 of 105 films Ikechukwu Onyeka has made in 12 years.

That's insane turnout.

And this entertained me for 2 hours...so good f*cking on him!

3.5 out of 10.

Started out decent then crashed and burned

Warning: Spoilers
The storyline though seen over and over, started out ok, then just took too long to keep it going, this movie didn't have to be this long, and after all the buildup, it ended with a dude, the mother of the daughter who was tormented simply took back control of the house thus all the haunting ended, huh?

Possibly one of the worst films I've ever seen.

I've been watching movies since probably 2002 (I'm 16 now BTW), and couldn't clarify which movie was the worst I ever had to sit through. Then 15 yrs. later, I see this on Netflix in the "Recently Added" section, and I wanted to watch it. Yes, it sucks!!! It's possibly one of the worst movies I ever watched in my entire life. Let's start with the music. It's like "nails scratching on a chalkboard". Also, the husband's acting sucks bird feces!! Also, the pregnant wife's friend whatever, I wanted to slap her so hard in the face. And OMG, the wife's screams. Annoying than Tara Reid in the horror movies she's in (Urban Legend) for example. It just screams "porn" throughout the whole movie. Screw Netflix for adding these Nigerian, Chinese, or Indian flicks.

Good story spoiled by amateurs
julienicholson-1216826 February 2019
This is a good story, but it's not a horror. Think of it as a horror comedy and it's possible you may enjoy it. If you can see beyond the awful acting. It's the sort of film a bunch of teenage girls could safely enjoy. No real scares, no gore, but I did enjoy the story.
