Many thanks to Niyi for a fresh and original plot! The movie was a blast from the beginning to the climax, then it slowly lost momentum and credibility DELICIOUS -The House of Secrets was a house of innovation: the set design, characters, and story were a fascinating blend that ignited our curiosity as we had lots of questions surrounding Sarah's identity And the sound effects tremendously helped usher in a suspenseful and mysterious aura, it was gripping🤓 -Najite Dede truly earned the main role because she carried us on her boat. She was physically weak but mentally sharp and inquisitive, and gentle in spirit. How can we not mention Shawn Faqua's and Efe Irele's passionate vibe??? Their romance added a softer side to the film's mysterious mood -Kudos to the editor for producing smooth match-cut transitions between the past and present scenes, it elevated the flow of the scenario making it easy to understand BLAND -We started spotting a lot of holes in the story after the climax: Why didn't the general just brutally torture Sarah to retrieve information or even kill her rather than place her in a mental asylum? How did Kate Henshaw's character safely escape a burning building with important information when there was a group sent to question her? How did people figure out someone's address by simply finding a Facebook profile? How does a person locate a hiding place inside an unfamiliar house that's burning? -It was obvious the fire effects were computer-generated as people were standing close to a burning house instead of staying away from it. The fighting choreography was quite passive and the way people were killed didn't seem convincing. All of these misses worked against the credibility of the screenplay making it less interesting -We, unfortunately, cannot bypass Funlola Aofiyebi's over-exaggerated acting which removed the elegance of the scenes😖
