Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 03/16/2017
Ojuju overcomes its technical limitations with well-drawn characters and pungently compelling situations. It certainly indicates that its talented filmmaker ... is eminently capable of moving on to bigger and better things. Go to Full Review Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies 01/07/2020

Ojuju is a promising debut for writer-director C.J. "Fiery" Obasi. Go to Full Review Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills 08/21/2018
I was not expecting this film to be a masterpiece, but the extended toilet jokes, the unnecessary sex scenes, and the fact that the camera work and acting were painfully amateur made me realize that the filmmakers were not trying to make [one].

One of the best things about Ojuju is its strong sense of place. Go to Full Review Meredith Borders Birth.Movies.Death. 07/22/2015
The filmmaking and especially the editing are messy and inelegant, but there's a lot of beauty to be found in OJUJU, and a lot of charm, too. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eric W 5d The most undeserved high RT rating I've ever seen. Some very talented first time directorial debut, low budget films manage to hit home runs and launch careers but this is not one of them. I welcome foreign films, especially from places like Africa, where we don't get much but this was a ham fisted bust. The first half is devoted to portrayting Nigerian slum denizens as relentlessly promiscuous. When they're not talking about or hitting on each other about sex, they are smoking pot. None of the main characters seem to do anything to earn money. None are appealing. The zombie scenes, when they come, are completely amateurish and are not scary. More laughable than scary. Skip it.
