It was very scary that year and NTA didn't do well by showing it at midnight which made it more scary.

I watched it recently and noticed how poor filming was back then in Nigeria compared to today. The visuals and audio are of very poor quality. We have come a long way in the filming industry.

Nostalgic!
For this singular reason, NTA will not make heaven I swearπŸ˜„
