Movie Review:Something Wicked

Mrs Hauwa a widow (Iretiola Doyle)  has her attention shared by her three children Daniel /Ali (Gabriel Afolayan),Rebecca/Amira(Beverely Naya) and Esther/Baby(Ivie Okunjaiye Egboh) and her project  which she works on with her eccentric assistant Claudia(Adesua Etomi).Every morning the Hauwas have to experience their crazy neighbour Mrs Adebola(Bisola Aiyeola).

Abel(Okey Uzoeshi) shows up at midnight at his aunty's house Mrs Hauwa to stay there after he had lost his parents.Strange things begin to happen and it took the conversation of Mrs Hauwa with her sister Sofia(Keira Hewatch) for her to put the puzzle together and it was a little too late.

The movie is a thriller laced with a bit of comedy to ease tension at the beginning .The actors delivered on their roles and everybody was on point .Something Wicked kept me at the edge of my seat .I particulary loved the intepretation of Esther's role.The touch of Hausa language is also good ,it gives it that flavour as  most times Nigerian families  mix their indigenous language with English in their comfort zones.

The cinematography of the movie wasn't too good as it would have really helped to make the very beautiful story better.

The best part of the movie is that you wouldn't see the end coming and this is FANTASTIC !!!

It's still showing at the cinemas and it's worth your time.

It was directed by Yemi Morafa and produced by JAF(Jack Of Ages,Agency 106,Film Boys Inc)

Overall I will give the movie VERY GOOD!
