The Serpent’s Gift (2025) – Full Movie Details
The Serpent’s Gift premieres in Nigerian cinemas on August 25, 2025, blending family drama with supernatural undertones in a story of power, legacy, and the cost of silence.
Directed by Kayode Kasum and written by Stephen Okonkwo and Uzuoma Metitiri, the film opens in the aftermath of a sudden death. When Nduka Sylvanus, a revered businessman, passes without warning, his widow Ijeoma becomes the unexpected face of his estate and the target of those who believe she doesn’t deserve it.
What starts as a family inheritance dispute quickly evolves into something darker. As relatives circle, eager to reclaim what they think is theirs, the world around Ijeoma begins to shift. Whispers of betrayal grow louder. Old secrets surface. And behind it all, ancestral forces stir blurring the line between tradition and danger.
The cast includes Tina Mba, Linda Ejiofor, Beverly Osu, Stan Nze, and Daniel Etim Effiong, actors known for bringing weight and nuance to family-centered narratives. Tina Mba, in particular, is no stranger to roles rooted in strength, grief, and quiet fury, making her presence here one to watch.
Distributed by Nile Entertainment, The Serpent’s Gift is rooted in cultural tension, emotional inheritance, and the unspoken costs women often carry in the aftermath of power shifts. With dialogue in both English and Igbo, the film weaves language and setting into the story’s emotional fabric not just as background, but as quiet battlegrounds of their own.
