THE REVIEW (PLOT SUMMARY)
The story begins with a woman named Nneka (chioma chukwuka Akpota) and her child was sleeping on the bed , the scene signifies that the child is sick, her neighbour, a woman comes inside very concern asking after her child, Nneka answers saying that she does not think her child his getting any better, then the woman asks about her husband’s family, she tells her that she does not want to talk about it, then the woman asks about her own parent she starts to narrate her story it begins with a parlour scene, when the mother(patience ozorwor) start insulting the father( pete edoche), then the daughter comes inside which resulted into a fight. She started causing commotion in the family, stopped the first son, chido(yul edoche) from marrying his fiancĂ©, stopped the last son, emeka from going to school because he was washing his father’s cloths, then a flashback occurred the mother starts to narrate how she was maltreated by her husband which lead to two miscarriages before she give birth to her first child chido and how he threatened to kill her.the story did not end there the mother successfully manipulated the last son into believing this made the boy have a stoned heart to his father. during the usual fight that occurs in their family caused the death of the father(pete edoche),still this did not end the wicked urge embedded in the soul of the youngest son.
He had a quarrel with his sister concerning the how peace would reign in the family with annoyance he hit a pastel on her head with lead to her been hospitalised, the eldest boy rushes back home to talk some senses into his head to the boy was not ready to hear so instead of listening he stabled his elder brother in attempt to be in charge,but unknown to him his brother as already called the police, the police arrived just on time to arrest him when the mother heard of this she slipped and fainted this lead to the end of her revenge, and destroyed her family the only surviving member was the girl(nneka)who lived to tell the story. His movie ended with a sad tune.
I think i would rate this 15% out of 100, and they should please work on their flash backs there were to many flash backs in the movie and the costume was not good.the effects used was not fully equipped they can try better things.
