The Herd (2025).

"Again....it is incredibly frustrating and exciting at the same time to be a Nigerian..Chinua Achebe.

As a ardent follower of this industry, i have always yearn for a time when Nollywood will make socially conscious movie that are grounded in our everyday reality, of late, and not just the crass and razz flicks they tend to do more often, and this i am happy to say, this flick is way up there with the former.

It opens with a newly wedded couple been kidnapped by armed bandits, but as the flick progresses, it unveils, an interconnected rot across religion and ethnic lines, that has birthed this horror of a situation we are currently witnessing.

The movie is so technically detailed, like the writing was so air tight and ridiculous good, that every little twist and turn was accounted for, even i, who is always critical of how shallow, film plot from these parts seems to be, had to applaud the flawless writing on display. The production value was top notch too, saw it on HD, and it was pleasing to watch , despite the sour subject matter.

I know the movie had probably be announced weeks before this release last Friday but the timing of the release couldn't be more apt, considering the mess of a security situation we currently find ourselves as a nation. So i was all the more baffled at our brothers and sisters from the north, who were talmbout "Ban the movie"...."Cancel Netflix", these Mfs probably just say the trailer alone 😩, and went unnecessary berserk because seeing the whole thing, they got all the stereotypes absolutely 100% spot on! and perhaps the only one i had issue with, was how efficient they portrayed our security agents to be, because ain't no way these brothers move this efficiently 😩.

The failure of our northern brethren to separate Islam from the actions of these armed bandits, is what is still fueling this stereotype, These miscreants doesn't represent Allah or the Prophet's (SAW) message in anyway. They twist some hadiths to justify their actions. Maan, i will sooner come down from a Molue, when a turbaned mf yells "Allahu A'kbar" than when someone else yells praise the Lord. 😩

Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed this film, the finest film I have seen from these parts, since i saw "With Difficulty Comes Ease" (2024), last year. just top shelf stuff...easy easy recommend.

8/10.

Galapagous:
hmm. The girl at the end of the movie only state the killer was a regular person, nothing extra ordinary about his appearance. Your opinion though.

Kaczynski:
the klllar is a cop


use your head do the maths and figure it out

Kaczynski:
very interesting film, i give it 10/10


depicts the harsh truth about humanity and raises philiosophical questions .

cop was not a righteous man but tries to redeem himself by nabbing the kllar whivh he could nt do and funny thing is the kllar was front of his door steps


watch old boy and barking dogs never bark

jpmoriarti:
All videos, man. Don't worry I'll take care to take pictures next time I go to Camp Nou. Against Atletico.

jpmoriarti:
I have videos, not pics. It's not easy to take pictures during matches.

nonny1212:
Just negodu, League don start.

I noticed he can't handle pressure. Flick will use that against him.

Brilliant movie. One of those films that will really vex you so much and break you at the same time. Korean police and their laws dey be like say dem incompetent.

Na after I don calm down reason am na im I understand wetin the filmmaker dey pass across.

Easily the best movie for me from Bong Joon Ho's filmography. Edges out Parasite slightly for the gripping take.

You no go enjoy The Chaser be that..... Similar trope. You go vex wella too but it has a payoff.... If you can call it that. Still left me pissed..... Maybe even more than Memories of Murder because some people chose to be really stupid at the end.

Trying to post a trailer in the anime thread

Absolutely mate. Joan Garcia could be the difference for us this season if he stays fit. The guy is confidence personified. I sat close to him in the 2nd half and the way he commanded the area was excellent even though Atletic Bilbao were already a man down.

Achilles100:
Terming Carol as 'evil' is extreme in my opinion. As they are trying to preserve their stay here, she is trying also to preserve humanity and our individuality.

None of the killings were intentional, it was a spore of the moment thing, she didn't plan and methodically carry out the killings both times it happened.

Las Las, she and that dog food eater go link up. Paranoid FC. But that guy shaaa, common, did fruits stop growing that you don't want to come out of your house that you are eating dog food?

Lol, I once read nd rewrote all the words (not every word tho but the ones that matter in everyday usage of the language) in the dictionary(s) (
Including law nd medical) lol, just for the sake of gaining knowledge. Was it easy doing it? Definitely not but I'm glad I went through with it still cos having all that knowledge is definitely paying off for me right now. and yes, I'm a guy nd I work but I love movies too nd fortunately for me my work allows me to create some free time for myself to do other things, more free time than all the shows I plan to watch...so why not. Make money sha no finish for pocket, make I fit dey afford peace of mind 😆 truly tho, watching movies is not the only way one can relax nd enjoy life, but it is surely one way my brother.

Achilles100:
She done turn Zosia to lab rat. I personally turn they were going to harm Carol. Good to learn they are not mr goody two shoes. Them get natural instinct of self-preservation.

I know say their lab people and scientist na 24/7 experimentation to turning Carol to one of them, them dey.

Maybe it's time to hang the boots. Rumor is the Miz will replace him in the tournament.

They finally let Tonga Loa talk and he made Solo break character 😭

Chat to me my G..Is this chatter about the S2 been one of the best shows of 2025 a gimmick or it's actually true? cuz i genuinely thought they had nothing left in the "tank" after S1....make i put body? 👀😩

Rarre:
I actually blame Carlo. starting him in those unnecessary matches. He played a complete 90 minutes against Senegal, and he started him again, if not for the injury, he could have played another complete 90 minutes. Someone who just returned from a serious injury.
Now we only have huijsen, asencio and Alaba available 🤦🏾‍♂️
