My Village People

The film was a big wake-up call to those who play with love because there is death in the pot!

A more solid acting and screenplay could have taken My Village People to a higher level, but overall the movie is worth watching

DELICIOUS

-We loved the spooky atmosphere that was installed right from the opening scenes. There was always a creepy echo when someone was speaking in the village. Of course, the three witches were intimidating 😱 Plus, the eerie sound and visual effects added a frightening dimension

-Big shout out to the costume design team for giving us a good sense of each character

-Best actors were Akah Nnani, Theresa Edem, and Zubby Michael. Compared to other actors, they really maintained the spirit of their characters even the camera was not focused on them👏

-The story sent a serious message to people who play with love; we witnessed the danger escalating as Prince went from bad to worse.

BLAND

-The film was all about Prince; it started with Prince and ended with Prince. There was no parallel story, hence it became very redundant for 2 hours

-Bovi is a good entertainer but he sadly could not deliver the scary segments of the film. There was no genuine fear on his face and he carried the same expression throughout.

If not for the costume and make-up, Sophie Alakija was unfortunately not scary

Compared to Bovi's previous movies, My Village People is his best screenwriting work supported by a good production.

The people rating this above 1/10 are members of the cast and crew, because there is no way that anyone in their right mind can sit through this shock of a car crash and feel sane afterwards. Let's not even talk about the poor sound - whereby the music is louder than the voices and you have to keep turning the sound up and down. Let's not talk about the absolute LACK OF SENSE in the plot. Let's just not talk. This was abysmal. Shambolic. I watched this with a friend and the number of tlmrd we had to pause it and just stare at each other in disbelief. We had to make sure we both weren't hallucinating. I rated this a 1 because there are funny moments. The end.

Don't mind the bad reviews. They are either paid or are not used to watching great scripts being brought to life by actors. This movie was thrilling from start to finish except for abit of flaws in sound production. The storyline was different and really talked more on spirituality. Not those common nonsense that nollywood has made us believe. Bovi was excellent in his role, his acting was 8/10 the other actors too did great. This movie on traditional spirituality was way better than "Nneka the Pretty Serpent" and a host of other spiritually inclined movies.

This is why I don't mind reviews anymore. I saw the reviews here and refused to watch it. But my friend recommended it for me. I watched it and it was dope. Perfect casting, sweet storyline. This story is actually possible in Nigeria in places like Edo state. I have not laughed at a movie like this for a while. Thumbs up.

Didn't expect much, and not generally a fan of comedy, but was pleasantly surprised by the witty dialogue and comedic timing in the first 20 mins. Once they introduced the character played by Sophie Alakija (Ame, I believe), the storyline becomes silly and somewhat confusing), the acting becomes woody, and the dialogue becomes stale. Granted, the girls' makeup and outfits get more polished, but the dialogue between the two main female characters slopes downhill - leave him alone, he is mine, no he is mine, you leave him alone, and on and on. Very interesting concept that could've been a much better movie with more help in the creativity and writing department.
