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.

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.

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......

I have seen multiple time loop movies before both locally and internationally, once you are able to break the loop it is expected that everything will go back to reset, but just like the Hollywood movie 'Mickey 18' you get to a point where you aren't sure if the result of your acting differently will bring the desired outcome at the end of the loop
Limited actor movies like this requires suspense and storytelling prowess to keep viewers glued all through which I can say the writer and director did justice to. Could it be better? Definitely yes, even the Avengers wasn't perfect but did justice to storytelling.
I watched from the beginning to the end in a sitting and will definitely recommend for true movie lovers.

Loved every bit of the movie and will definitely recommend y'all watch it... If you've ever had a pregnant wife or a pregnant relative you'll easily understand... It's was a crazy battle for Shalewa's hormones and her zeal to survive every time. My wife was screaming on top of her voice cheering on Shalewa... The suspense was nuts, my wife almost jumped in to help Shalewa fight the killer lol....
Honestly I loved the fact that it gave this open ending type of feel... Maybe the killer woke up or maybe Shalewa died.. Because that ending hmmmm, did the time loop continue..?? Loved every bit of the movie.. The Director must be a crazy person.
