Here is the review:

C.J. "Fiery" Obasi's Nigerian zombie flick brings the familiar undead creatures to a new and exotic setting.

Considering the massive output of the Nollywood film industry, it was probably inevitable that it would eventually get around to appropriating that most familiar of Hollywood tropes, the zombie film. The result is this horror film directed and written by the marvelously named C.J. "Fiery" Obasi which brings the flesh-eating creatures to a Nigerian slum. Winner of the Best Nigerian Movie award at last year's African International Film Festival, Ojuju was recently showcased at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's New Voices in Black Cinema.


Obasi, whose IMDb bio states that he grew up watching Hammer horror films and reading Stephen King novels, clearly has an affinity for the subject matter. Although made on an obviously miniscule budget, this enterprising genre pic is very well crafted. Infused with both sly humor and genuine thrills, it puts many similarly themed American efforts to shame, with the exoticism of its setting only adding to the overall effect.

Set in a teeming Lagos slum, it provides an all-too-realistic explanation for the sudden transformation of its inhabitants into desiccated figures with an appetite for human flesh: It's the result of a contaminated water supply, which is certainly a problem endemic to the African nation.

Among those first affected is local drug dealer Fela (Chidozie Nzeribe), who gets bitten early on and suffers the predictable ill consequences as a result.

"If Fela won't smoke weed, then the situation is really serious," one of his friends worriedly comments.

The film's hero is Romero (a charismatic Gabriel Afolayan) — the name's inspiration is obvious — who, much to his horror, discovers that his pregnant girlfriend has become infected. Along with his friends Emmy (Kelechi Udegbe) and Peju (Omowunmi Dada), he desperately searches for a solution to the situation while trying to stay alive in the process.

"They've all turned ojuju," a character declares in the film in which the word "zombie" is never uttered.

Necessarily limited in terms of special effects and creature makeup — it's no surprise that the ojuju are initially mistaken for simply being drunk — Ojuju overcomes its technical limitations with well-drawn characters and pungently compelling situations. It certainly indicates that its talented filmmaker, whose sole previous effort was the voodoo-themed Jim & Joan, is eminently capable of moving on to bigger and better things.

idprincess

So may I know who your audience is, Oyinbos or Africans?

@op i don't know much about movies ooo but na beg i wan beg u oo,i beg can u use the music/s from airforce1 as your soundtrack cos as u might already know that airforce1 in all ramifications is the best musician not only in/on nairaland but in the whole wide world

And Igbos keep moving forward

Impressive.

Finally. A breath of fresh air coming into the Nigerian movie industry.

And coming from two of Nigeria's best.

One of whom is - perhaps - Nigeria's most under-celebrated movie filmmaker and producer -Oge Ugwu.

Kindly, do a bit of research on this woman - what you'd discover is that she's got one of the most staggering portfolio in the Nigeria Film industry.

She's been instrumental to the production of major Nigerian classics and blockbusters such as "Figurine", "October 1", "Apostate", etc.

How she manages to go relatively unsung beats me willy.

And of course, no better individual to team up with, than her husband, CJ Obasi.

All I can say is this;

Oge and CJ - the world is your oyster.

See you guys at the top!

Idprincess, thumbs up girl.

I am happy for you, this is just the beginining. Go gurlie

They had better be fast in releasing d movie before it strangely enters Alaba Market. I dey wait for d pirated copy.

We saw it coming.
Good review in the major Hollywood Reporter is like getting a book review in The New York Times.
When NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® series selected 'Ojuju" as one of the best movies of 2014, many movie buffs in Nollywood were ignorant of it.
When one of the foremost Nigerian film critics and writers named C.J. Obasi as a daring filmmaker in 2012 after seeing his debut movie "Jim & Joan" screened as the Closing Film at the Eko International Film Festival in November 2012, majority of people were laughing in their ignorance of his genius.

Congrats girl! Wish you and hubby more successes ahead.

Congrats girl! Wish you and hubby more successes ahead.

Many thanks. Please buzz me, been looking for your contact.

wow, nice one

ifuennada:
CJ is a one of a kind director! His passion for the job motivates you as much as his skills and knowledge! His producer, Oge Ugwu (who's also his wife) is also an amazing woman. These guys care for everyone on their team...! I'm really anticipating their next feature film O-town, but let's not take the attention away from Ojuju! Ojuju is the best Nigerian film I've seen so far!...and I'm not exaggerating...

Ifu Ennada

yea yea...
u said everything I wanted to say....
