Overall Rating: Feast
Living in Bondage was the perfect illustration of the materialistic world ruled by the devil. An exquisite production from start to finish, cast and crew should clap for themselves because it was a stellar work!
And by the way, Living in Bondage is much more of a thriller than a horror movie, for those hesitating to watch it. Take our advice: view during the daytime to lessen the fear effect 😉
~Worth Watching~
Delicious
—That opening scene with the little girl singing and the car driving through the woods at night, whoa! It was a catchy moment right there, we didn’t wanna leave our seats 😀
—Color grading and cinematography were on point, the close shots of the characters heightened the terror and splendor of the narrative
—Nnamdi (Jide Kene Achufusi) owned his lead role. He was young, fresh, full of energy, yet, gloomy when it came time to be.
Richard Williams (Ramsey Nouah) was intimidating, this is the kind of person you don’t even want to be stuck with in an elevator😨 As always Shawn Faqua (playing Tobi) was the bomb!
—The set design correctly reproduced the soul of the story. It properly showcased the materialistic wealth and mysticism
—The storytelling was very clear, we weren’t lost though we never got to see the first installment. The operations of the brotherhood were well explained, we understood its ins and outs
—VFX👏👏
—Amazing and inspiring dialogues. Living in Bondage was a demonstration of how the demonic spiritual realm runs this world with its malice; there’s a price to pay for possessing wealth, no blood no glory
Bland
—Soundtrack and scene editing was a bit rough
—David Jones, playing Uzoma the journalist, went a little overboard, appearing unnatural in his performance; he didn’t look exhausted from years of research with his polished haircut and outfits
