Tosin Igho’s ‘Suspicion’ Trailer Explores Black Magic And Vengeance, Set For November 28 Release On Prime Video

Prime Video is set to premiere Suspicion, Tosin Igho’s latest thriller, on November 28, blending intense action with supernatural themes. The film stars Stan Nze as a man drawn into a dark quest for vengeance, driven by the brutal murders of his daughter and best friend.

The trailer hints at a world closing on between good and evil, opening with Stan Nze’s opening narration “E get plenty things wey dey happen for this life. Good. Bad…” His life shifts from moments of joy with his best friend to a relentless search for answers following his daughter’s kidnapping and his friend’s murder. Nze’s character takes on superhuman powers, allowing him to perform daring stunts as he pursues those responsible.

Adding complexity, Tina Mba’s character notes his unusual abilities, remarking, “I never see anybody get more than two powers before. But you, you get.” The trailer hints at a potent blend of action, black magic, and psychological conflict.

Suspicion features a diverse Nollywood cast, including Omowunmi Dada, Kalu Ikeagwu, Uzor Arukwe, Shaffy Bello, Ashafa “Small Mummy” Salamot, Francis Sule, Boma Akpore, Tony Akposheri, and Esegine Orezi Allen. Written and directed by Igho, it tells the story of a young man who delves into the sinister world of black magic after the brutal murder of his best friend and daughter. As he haunts for vengeance, he faces moral dilemmas and shocking betrayals threatening to shatter his closest relationships. He must confront his newfound powers and decide how far he will go for justice.

Over the years, Nollywood has produced numerous films exploring ritual killings and witchcraft within both traditional and modern contexts. Suspicion aims to present a fresh perspective – typically seen in Western movies – where a man acquires supernatural powers and uses them to confront and overpower villains, becoming nearly invincible.

Film writer Ikenna Churchill of WAW shared his perspective, commenting,

I find Nollywood’s dive into black magic and supernatural themes with Suspicion quite intriguing. It taps into deeply rooted African folklore and spirituality, offering a fresh narrative space. However, the challenge will be balancing authenticity with modern cinematic expectations. If done right, it could redefine genre filmmaking in Nollywood and attract wider audiences drawn to culturally rich, supernatural thrillers.

Suspicion is a potential shift in Nollywood storytelling, promising viewers an intense, culturally infused cinematic experience.
