“Egun” the highly awaited horror movie, has generated excitement among interested viewers when its release date was slightly shifted, providing a small change in schedule for the waiting public.

The makers of the spine-tingling horror film “Egun,” which was conceived by Dare Olaitan and Kayode Kasum, have postponed its theatrical release. The story, which takes place in a corporate office, begins when the office gets a mysterious parcel with magical components in it. This sets off an unnerving prophecy that everyone who looks at the package’s contents will meet a terrible end.
