A disillusioned security guard transforms into an Okoroshi ancestral spirit, and roams the streets of Lagos to interact with the world in a new way.

John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

A colorful rejection of soullessness in modern Nigerian culture.

Seventh Row

Shot for maximum impact, between the lurid color, wild plot turns, and thumping, party-ready soundtrack -- The Lost Okoroshi has the potential to cross over to a wider, youth-oriented audience.

Cinema Axis

The Lost Okoroshi is an enchanting film that solidifies Makama as a unique cinematic voice.

Rated: B+

The Lost Okoroshi refuses to hold open the door for audiences unfamiliar with Nigerian culture or Igbo mythology, and it's all the better for it.

Brendan Boyle

Cinema Scope

This scene, as well as early montages of Raymond's dreams, suggest a film dominated by music and dance, but The Lost Okoroshi ultimately becomes a stranger and more ambivalent vision with every accumulated image and incident.

Christopher Machell

CineVue

[An] exploration of heritage, culture and folk memory, seasoned with endearing, offbeat humour and a touch of body horror.

Rated: 4/5
