A Song from the Dark

It's pretty interesting how they use the religious elements from the Nigerian culture, I bet the director/screenwriter know them well.

Sadly, characters are written poorly, acting is really awful and storytelling is really limited.

I appreciate the effort they put into special effects with a short budget, but that weird shaking cam and other visual elements feel so cheap and artificial that they take away any seriousness the film intents. They look cartoon-like instead of horror-like.

At its best, the movie is amateurish, at its worst, is like a high school/college project.

I hope this movie serves as an experience to enhance the abilities from all the involved.

I absolutely enjoyed this movie The film stays with you and triggers certains emotions.visually it is so rich and technically beautifully made and i am so impressed with the cast. The director took some risks and it paid off. It is so important to see the style of the director through the tone and not just a simple horror movie that is cliche the storytelling was as good as the visuals and i personally cannot wait to see what Ogo has in store for his next project. A solid film that deserved all the awards and the recognition worldwide and a visual experience that leaves you wanting for more. Xx.

The film was beautifully shot and the story was deep & captivating. I think this film is the first of its kind, with the combination of, elements of the horror and supernatural genres.

It also pays homage to African spirituality, set in Britain, with predominantly black British actors.

Another thing that I liked about the film, is that it lightly touched on some societal issues. Although the issues were potentially contentious topics, I thought that was done as tastefully as possible.

If I write too much, I may include some spoilers out of excitement, so just watch it because you truly won't regret it.

Alright where do i even begin with this tomfoolery... This movie from the jump was terrible. The wack red eyes coming the back of the room was so terrible. Then you had terrible acting and a terrible plot! The most predictable cliché with the black dude in the car and all of a sudden you had a black lady throwing up then when he goes out no ones there, then when he gets back in the car shes in the backseat. SEEN IT COMINT BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENED! Couldn't even finish the movie cuz it ruined my amazing meal and my mood. The majority of the time i was cracking jokes, the movie is so bad. AND L UK CANT TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY!

Loved watching "A song from the dark" This film stands out for its rich blend of supernatural elements, drama, and moments of intense horror, all portrayed against the backdrop of authentic black characters. The performances are compelling, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. The writers direction and vision bring a fresh perspective to the horror genre, highlighting African folklore and mysticism in a way that is both respectful and innovative.

Overall, "A Song from the Dark" is a thrilling and thought-provoking film that effectively bridges the gap between traditional African storytelling and modern horror cinema. It is a significant contribution to the genre and a testament to the talent and creativity of its director and cast.
