The Origin: madam koi koi Part 1/E1 (2023).

9ja boarding house most popular myth comes to life!.

A long review.....pardon 🙏🏿

I have been feeling quite overwhelmed lately that i have basically just mentally tapped out off seeing movies/series and i think i barely scraped through just about 3 movies all October, Terrible terrible form 😩, but when i saw this popular urban legend coming to the big screen i had to obliged.
Billed as a 2 part affair or episodes if you will, so i am hoping this review falls within the purview of this thread.

This first part/episode was really really good as a pace setter and i am quite surprised how well put together the writing and character development was, it clearly showed, some really serious people were in charge.

madam koi koi mythology is not a new tale, if you were born in the 70s, 80s, 90s and even to some extent, Gen Z, will totally be able to relate to it. This retelling had our central character, Amanda, changed school, to a Catholic boarding school in the fictional town of Malomo in the 90s, as she begins her sojourn in this new school, she keeps being jolted by a nightmare, of a certain unnamed horror with "a red koi koi" shoe, lurking in the shadows , and we are quickly reminded, why we are here and things are definitely not as they seem in this school and indeed the town.

I know i have praised the writing, but the acting and delivery was equally top notch, only a few known faces, but the newbies stole the show!. There was a rape scene, that was so well acted that i had to actually fast forward it at the time, because of how true to life and grossly disturbing it was! Impeccable acting!

As with Nollywood movies set in the olden times, continuity error always seems to rear it's ugly head, and i was on the look out for one, and they almost didn't disappoint, the setting, props, Clothing style fit the era it was set, being 70' to 90's. The pulled out a fresh "tortoise" car and i was wondering were they got one, so pristine lol. The students especially the girls, on first look, looked over age to play teenagers in sec school, but then again these are, how mature, girls used to look in sec school back then, i have my mum's sec school photos to confirm 😃, so props to the casting crew. The little blot, was when one character used a popular phrase that only came out in real life about 2 years ago, so there's no way it is been said in a movie supposedly set in the 90s, i voiced out my concerns to the lead actress on X (formerly known as Twitter) and she duly replied and said it was rather anachronism and not a continuity error, it seemed a rather convenient answer but i allowed it because of how good the other continuity props were.
And, also it was billed as horror, and one of the new genres Nollywood is exploring, but they are still piss poor at it, the jump scares in this were so minimal and scaled to zero, it rather made the whole thing look like a drama, but then again, horror movie makers here are still relying heavily on make up to bring that horror flair because VFX use is still alien here, and i know horror make up can be quite expensive and only few make up/costume studios offer such services, but i would really love them to up the horror ante in the next part .

Even though they already promised that it was a 2 part affair, i was kicking myself when it ended abruptly as things were kicking into proper gear.
Thank goodness the next part isn't too far away.

For now, this is a great intro that seems to stick a decent landing in what they were trying to do, so on to the next one.

7/10.
