    Energetic and intelligent

    This movie was beautifully written and it kept me on my toes all through... it is a psychological thriller and it did its magic... Do I have lots of questions? Yes I do. But I love that the writer left it at the fragments of our imaginations. It is a movie that will linger on your mind all through the night and have you asking yourself "What if"

    The casts were truly amazing... I could feel their pain with the brilliant way emotions were displayed.

    The set was brilliant... lightings was perfectly done.. soundtrack on point, it got my heart racing. The shots were taking brilliantly.

    I will say Dele Doherty came into the industry fully prepared, with this being his debut.. Watch out for that young man.

    I recommend this film 100%... just make sure you listen carefully and intelligently.

    A Masterpiece of Nollywood Innovation

    *"A Masterpiece of Nollywood Innovation"*

    "Landline" is a groundbreaking achievement in Nollywood cinema, masterfully weaving a complex narrative of time loops that will leave you spellbound. The film's stunning cinematography and sound design are truly breathtaking, with clever camera angles, lighting, and sound effects that perfectly capture the tension and unease of the protagonist's situation.

    The cast delivers powerhouse performances that bring depth, nuance, and emotional resonance to the story. Their chemistry on screen is electric, drawing you into the world of the film.

    What sets "Landline" apart is its technical excellence. The editing is razor-sharp, the score is pulse-pounding, and the visuals are stunning. Each element works in harmony to create a thrilling experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    This film is a must-watch for fans of time-loop thrillers, mystery enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a cinematic experience that will challenge and captivate. "Landline" is a game-changer for Nollywood, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and filmmaking excellence.

    Nollywood, is that you?👀

    Landline is just absolutely brilliant, I love the cinematography and lighting so much! It was what first drew me in right before anything else. The acting and storytelling was just amazing, Jesus! A good film in my opinion is one that lingers with you and conjures all sort of emotions...anger, pain, frustration, tears. I had it all, I absolutely was mind blown and my only complaint was that I wish it were slightly longer. But I guess all good things have to come to an end unfortunately.

    When I first saw the trailer, I can't even lie that I didn't have my skepticism about a Nollywood time loop film, but after the first act, I can say that the producers outdid themselves.

    A Masterclass in How NOT to Make a Time Loop Film - The Worst Movie Ever Made

    If you're looking for a definitive guide on how to absolutely ruin a promising concept, look no further than Landline 2025.

    This film is, without a doubt, the single worst movie I have ever had the misfortune of watching.

    Forget the misleadingly inflated ratings you might see online; they are nothing short of a travesty, indicative of false reviews that have propelled this cinematic disaster to a completely unreal and undeserved score.

    Landline 2025 doesn't even warrant two stars, let alone anything close to the positive buzz it seems to have artificially generated.

    This isn't just a bad film; it's an excruciating, mind-numbingly awful experience that serves as a painful lesson in how to completely misunderstand and misuse the time loop genre.

    Every decision, from the nonsensical plot progression to the wooden performances, feels like a deliberate attempt to frustrate and alienate the viewer.

    Save yourself the time, money, and sheer agony.

    Avoid Landline 2025 at all costs.

    This is not just a disappointment; it's an insult to cinema.

    Nollywood is in great hands

    Was really a great to watch movie... I'm more than excited to know that the future of filmmaking in Nigeria is in great hands of creatives that are willing to do the work... The cinematography top notch.... The casts super professional... The suspense was so good.... The stunts crazy work ( hope the doubles are okay.....) The storytelling awesome.... A pregnant woman fighting for her life....???

    Scary but awesome all the way.....

    Wish I could see more psychological movies like Landline more in Nigeria

    I hope they get nominated for awards because the certainly did justice to this movie......
