Tears in my Eyes

-Originality: [1 out of 5] We’ve all seen voodoo movies in Nigerian movies and ghost stories and jealousy stories. This movie is all that with a little more

-Predictability: [3 out of 5] I don’t know about anyone else but when the question came to play, I knew who the killer was. It’s always those who talk the most and act the most eager that are the witches and witchesses. However, prior to the end of the second part the movie was going in a certain direction but switched gears making it less predictable.

-Directing/Editing: [3 out of 5] Don’t we all just miss the Ejiros and the Bensons of old Nollywood? The editing did a good job, it was a suspense movie and everything needed to fall into place and the editor saw to this.

-Acting quality: [2 out of 5] Extras can’t act. Kate Henshaw is an amazing actress. So is Ramsey Noah however that fake American/British or whatever -ish accent needs to fly out of the window with immediate effect. You no fit so no try am.

-Setting: [2 out of 5] Generally good, but what I couldn’t understand is why there were only about two or three people at the wedding ceremony? This is the second movie with a questionable wedding ceremony that I’ve seen in the past week? Do we just not like wedding scenes or is it too hard to find people on the road with good clothes to act as extras? Here’s a suggestion, blow up human size balloons.

-Costume/Make-Up: [2 out of 5] I liked the general make up and what not. Kate’s hair was a bit iffy for me in the beginning but it just took getting used to (like Rihanna’s red hair on right). 

-Video Quality: [3 out of 5] Ok especially considering the year of production. I was quite amazed by the fact that I could see in all the night scenes and I wonder… If the night scenes in a 2008 movie was vivid then what excuse does a 2012 movie have in the presence of all this new technology? Are you shooting from a camcorder?

-Soundtrack: [3 out of 5] Ok.

-Musical Score: [3 out of 5] Good
