Sylvia (2018 film)

Sylvia is a 2018 Nigerian supernatural thriller film directed by Daniel Oriahi, written by Vanessa Kanu,[2][3] and produced by Ekene Som Mekwunye for Trino Motion Pictures.

Franklin Ugobude of PulseNG said, “There's a lot to like about Sylvia really: for one, there's this fresh feel to an existing story on spirituality, something that is pretty common in our world today”.

[16] Precious Nwogwu of MamaZeus described the movie as “Spellbinding: The best Nollywood thriller in recent times”.

[18] Oris Aigbokhaevbolo in his feature review on BellaNaija shared “It was heartening to have the origin of the spirit-spouse be broached but never really explained.

The film shows it is the product of a Nigerian mind in how the existence of the spiritual realm is taken as a given, and its characters are modern figures wrestling ancient myths, citified kids fighting what we think of us as village people.”[19]
