Orphaned at a young age, Nikya has finally gotten the family she always wanted in her fiancé Luke. Now, there is only one thing that would make her life complete: to meet his parents and relatives. However Luke is reticent, having not been home in over a decade. Longing for connection, Nikya pushes him to reconcile with his past and soon they are off to Luke’s childhood home. While there Nikya learns that family baggage can be harder to stomach than she assumed.
Joining the canon of films about possibly horrifying in-laws like Ready or Not and Get Out, Nigerian filmmaker Daniel Oriahi threads the needle between thriller and horror deftly, with a wonderful pulsing score and tenseness that builds. Part soapy, part savage, this genre-bending feast simmers before serving a thrilling climax that may not be easily digestible, but is thoroughly enjoyable.––Faridah Gbadamosi
