Ms Kanyin (2025) – Full Movie Details

The upcoming horror-thriller Ms Kanyin premieres on Prime Video on June 27, 2025.

Directed by Ossai Jerry, the film follows a disturbing sequence of events set off by the arrival of a mysterious school staff member. Combining psychological tension, urban legend, and supernatural horror, Ms Kanyin explores the thin line between myth and memory — and the terror that lives just on the other side.

The cast includes Aduke Shitta-Bey, Damilola Bolarinde, Kanaga Jnr, Toluwani George, Temi Otedola, Michelle Dede, Kalu Ikeagwu, and Ademola Adedoyin, bringing layered performances to a genre Nollywood is boldly stepping into.

Produced by Ajua Dickson under Nemsia Studios, the film taps into a familiar yet unsettling legend that has echoed across generations of Nigerian schoolchildren: the tale of Madam Koi Koi.

👠 The Return of Madam Koi Koi

The name Madam Koi Koi instantly sends chills down the spines of many Nigerians who grew up with the story.

She is the infamous ghost of a stylish, high-heeled schoolteacher said to haunt boarding schools — her arrival signaled by the eerie koi… koi… koi sound of her shoes down an empty hallway. For years, the legend was passed between students as a warning, a joke, or a nightmare — and it’s never really gone away.

Ms Kanyin modernizes this myth through the lens of trauma, secrecy, and spiritual reckoning. Rather than simply retell the story, the film reimagines Madam Koi Koi as a symbol of consequences: for neglect, silence, and unresolved pain. It asks: What happens when a myth is not just real — but personal?

Ms Kanyin is a visually stunning Nigerian horror that reimagines the Madam Koi Koi myth in an elite boarding school, where exam fraud awakens a vengeful spirit tied to a cursed tree. Temi Otedola leads a solid cast, and the cinematography shines throughout. Though its horror leans too literal and the plot leaves key threads hanging, the film offers a bold, atmospheric take on school legend and peer-driven consequences. Not the final word on Madam Koi Koi, but a promising chapter in the myth’s cinematic life.
