MOVIE REVIEW: Yul Edochie’s ‘Bury Me Again’ is a Tale of Seven Cows, Second Burial, and a Father Who Won’t Rest

Nollywood's enduring fascination with honoring the dead and upholding traditions takes center stage in Yul Edochie's latest film, 'Bury Me Again.' Produced by Judy Austin and released on the YulEdochieTV YouTube channel on July 31, 2026, the movie quickly garnered millions of views, demonstrating the continued audience draw of the Edochie name.

The film's most significant draw is the rare on-screen collaboration between Nollywood icon Pete Edochie and his son, Yul Edochie, who also directs and stars. Their joint appearance elevates the film beyond a mere release, making it a notable event for fans of Nigerian cinema.

'Bury Me Again' centers on Ikenna (Yul Edochie), a successful businessman whose life unravels after his father, a respected elder, dies. Despite promising a befitting traditional burial, Ikenna cuts corners due to financial and personal issues, leaving the rites incomplete. This decision triggers a series of terrifying events: blood-red messages demanding "Bury me again" appear, unexplained noises fill the house, objects shatter, and Ikenna is plagued by disturbing visions.

His wife, Crystal, witnesses their home transform into a place of fear. Beyond the supernatural, Ikenna's business empire collapses, his investments fail, and a fire destroys his filling station, pushing him toward financial ruin. Attempts by Crystal to seek spiritual deliverance prove futile.

The mystery resolves when Ikenna confesses his guilt over the broken promise. Fate intervenes through a lucrative deal with Solium Energy, restoring his fortunes and enabling him to fulfill his obligation. Ikenna then organizes an elaborate second burial for his father, complete with traditional rites and the sacrifice of seven cows, finally appeasing the elder's spirit and restoring peace to his household.
