Dead of Night (2024)
Dead of Night is directed by Chiemeka Osuagwu, whose credits includes Far From Home (2022), Blood Covenant (2022), and A Weekend to Forget (2023).
The story unfolds in the quiet Ekeoba village as the robbery plan of three teenage girls – Chinaza, Onyi and Ihuoma, played by Nollywood fresh faces Favour Etim, Diana Egwatu, and Nene Aliemeke – takes a terrifying turn when they become trapped in an abandoned mansion with dark secrets. Haunted by mysterious forces, they must navigate a labyrinth of horror to escape the clutches of Onwu, an evil entity determined to claim their souls.
With its chilling setting and heart-pounding suspense, Dead of Night promises a gripping narrative that explores the depths of fear and superstitions.
The horror movie stars Kunle Idowu, popularly known as Frank Donga, who has been nominated for three AMVCAs (Best Actor in a Comedy in 2015 and 2023, and Best Supporting Actor in 2018), and has featured in Nollywood top grossing movies Wedding Party 1 and 2. The movie also stars Eric Obinna (Inside Life, Razz Guy), Allison Precious and Chuks Joseph (The Origin: Madam Koi-Koi).
