With curiosity piqued, we dived headfirst into the Netflix ocean. Our thoughts? Spoiler alert: it’s not just hype—it’s worth the watch. Here’s why:

1. The Soundtrack

Let’s start with the music. The soundtrack is a melodic masterpiece, perfectly complementing the film’s atmosphere. From suspenseful crescendos to soothing rhythms, the music pulls you into every scene. The standout moment? The final track after the king’s epic triumph over Esusu. Sweet like baby laughter—though maybe not at midnight.

2. The Horror Element

Seven Doors is not your typical horror movie, but it delivers spine-chilling moments that might make you reconsider watching it alone. Think blood spraying like fuel from a faulty pump and accidents so brutal, they’ll leave your TV screen stained red.

Yet, none of it feels unnecessary. There’s no forced romance or awkward scenes to skip past when your parents walk in. Just gripping storytelling, tension, and a sprinkle of gore to keep your heart racing.

3. A King and His Wives

Why was the king so resistant to marrying six wives? Isn’t a harem of queens every king’s dream? It took heartbreak, madness, and near-collapse of his kingdom before he gave in. And even then, his choices were...questionable.

The palace dynamics were a recipe for drama—six wives, six problems. But this subplot delivered a sharp lesson on leadership, sacrifice, and decision-making. Kudos to the scriptwriters for weaving it all together so seamlessly.

4. The Stellar Cast

Femi Adebayo (the king) led a cast that brought their A-game. Every performance was a perfect fit, from Muyiwa Ademola’s captivating role as the Cubana Chief Priest of Ilaraland to the haunting portrayal of Esusu.

Special shoutout to Muyiwa Ademola, who stole every scene he appeared in, earning him GOAT status in this production.

5. Erin Ijesa Nostalgia

The opening scene—a tragic fall of seven women at Erin Ijesa Waterfall—sets a haunting tone. For anyone who’s visited Erin Ijesa, the nostalgia is real. But beyond the memories, the lack of upgrades to this iconic tourist attraction is a glaring reminder of Nigeria’s neglected treasures.

6. Spiritual and Cultural Layers

The film offers more than just entertainment; it sparks deep reflection. Many Christian viewers have turned its themes into prayer points, asking for protection from generational curses.

Moreover, the movie celebrates love that transcends ethnicity. Chimaka, an Igbo woman, passionately embraces Yoruba culture through her love for the king, showing that love knows no boundaries.

Final Verdict

Seven Doors delivers a thrilling mix of horror, drama, and cultural depth. It’s a cinematic gem that lives up to the hype. Perfect for a relaxing weekend or festive season binge, this movie is highly recommended.

So, grab your popcorn and dive into Seven Doors. Trust us, you won’t regret it.
