Help finding a movie (African)

Post by Jigsaw »

More than a few months ago, I ran into a blog on some horror site (if I could recall the site, this voyage would be a whole lot easier) talking about a Christian African horror series, containing two films. Most of the information I recall is specifically about the first movie.

I'll say beforehand, though, that I doubt anyone here has seen it, or even heard of it - it's just some obscure African horror flick deeply rooted in Christianity. Still, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The movie itself was a hodgepodge of satanism and possession, with some bizarre scenes spread throughout (a scene of someone getting hit by a car and standing up as a ghostly form was on YouTube, I recall). It was also long - maybe not two hours, but at least and hour and 45. Lastly, I know it was on some site uploaded via VHS or DVD, most likely Vimeo. The first movie came out somewhere between 1998 to 2005, though someone in the 2001 - 2003 range seems most likely. Don't know when the sequel came out.

It was in English (though the accents were so hard to decipher, it would be very difficult to watch and understand).

I can't remember what I searched up to run into that specific blog (which went into the history of African horror cinema), which is maddening.

Lastly, I believe the movie was from Nigeria, but honestly, it could probably be from any African country.

So a Christian-themed horror flick from Africa from the early 2000's (most likely). May the searching commence. :p

Found it - was wrong about almost everything, but that's okay. At least I now know what I was thinking of.

The Nigerian classic 666 (Beware the End Is at Hand) (2007).

Had three sequels:

666 (Beware the End Is at Hand) 2 (2007)
The Signs of End Time (2007)
The Signs of Endtime 2 (2007)

Looks a truly classic movie:

No, because someone else may have had the same question I had, and now they can have the answer should they need it.

That's also possible.

I still don't think this thread should be deleted, though.

Apparently I don't know the meaning then. I always equated the two. :P
