The Figurine Raises The Bar For Nollywood by agegelabs(m): 10:41am On Sep 24, 2009

The film's quality is largely a result of the impeccable audio-visuals and attentive performance by the actors. Women are dressed in colourful African creations, showing off the lifestyles of the middle class, upwardly mobile Nigerian female who is educated, entrepreneurial and interested in marriage and family.

The scene with the two friends enjoying a round of golf at a golf course in Osun State added a lot of gloss to this movie. A typical scene that would have been attributed to an international location was achieved locally.

The Figurine successfully fuses traditional folklore with contemporary life whilst maintaining its relevance; it is also, unexpectedly, a thriller with some comedic timing that leaves the viewer in titters.

Preview is crap.
Blood everywhere,people dying,typical Nollywood.
Audio-visual production is top notch though.
If these producers really want to raise the bar,they berra take a cue from Slumdog Millionaire angry

You guys are just impossible. If u thk they're crap why watch them. Afterall no one forced u to. I don't remember the last time
I watched a hollywood movie in full. They're too unrealistic ,only nudity,violence , vulgar language and a weird storyline all in the
name of making them complex. Nollywood all the way.
