For a horror movie, this movie has the brightest lighting as what my friends say because we can see what is happening in the movie. Yes, it includes smart moves from the character to switch on the light during a frightening scene instead of walking in the dark. So, here is my review from this movie that is quite trending now on Twitter. 

In the early plot, this movie reveals about racism which involved the black community and asylum seeker in the United Kingdom when both characters were released from detention. We also get to know that Rial is saved from tribe killing because she does not belong to any tribes as she is mixed. 

The movie includes some horror and soulful insight as to the main character; Gol and Rial are being disturbed with some unsettled souls. It becomes such a mystery because the audience may be confused whether they are being traumatized or because it is the real situation that they face at first.

The story pace at first is quite slow as even when there is a jump scare moment, my friends can even laugh as it was a slow-paced, and Bol expressions are also not strong to portray the moment when he sees the ghost.

However, as the movie goes on, the storyline becomes more interesting as the director starts to reveal why is that the couple has terrible nightmares and flashback in the house itself. Several attempts have been made for them to leave the house, but it was not successful. 

Along with the movie, there are several intriguing parts for me personally which are; the flashback part and the moment when Nyagak revelation become interesting because it has the tribe elements and also some dramatic moment there. This is where the plot twist becomes the spice for the movie. 

Overall, I will give 6/10 stars.
