“MOVIE REVIEW. MOVIE TITLE: THE ORIGIN:MADAM KOIKOI SOURCE: NETFLIX GENRE: HORROR DRAMA STARRING: Martha Ehinome. Jude Chukwuka. Deyemi Okanlawon. Ireti Doyle. Chioma Chukwuka. Nene Nwanyo. Chuks Joseph. Bolaji Ogunmola. Omowummi Dada. PLOT: A vengeful spirit is awakened by the cries of a woman who also wants revenge and the village of Malomo once again suffers several mysterious deaths. REVIEW. The story stemmed from one action, spread out into different places, at a point it was going to go out of their control but was brought back, leaving several of its different points undone. Cinematography was great, the camera angles were all right. Location was spot on and the different set designs were amazing. The props and set also greatly represented the era/time which the story was set in. Acting was good and some of the Actors fully bodied their characters. The suspense was also interesting as they were a few scenes that kept me glued and got me thinking. The really not so good aspect of the movie comes from its rushed ending and also the blindspot that was Ibukun's trauma. The genre of the movie would also be better stated as a crime drama, because the horror wasn't really much. CHARACTER BREAKDOWN. The lead character Amanda played by Martha Ehinome was spot on. She had her facial expressions and body movement in check. She acted like an old hand. Ireti Doyle played Mother Superior and was superior throughout. Chioma Chukwuka as Sister Ruth was more expressive than talking and she did it well. Deyemi Okanlawon played the cynical Inspector very well. Chuks Joseph played Lashe very well too. The movie and it's title as the Origin hoped to give a history of what might be a horrific experience to some viewers and a myth to others and also shed light on the issues of sexual assault, harassment and rape. It did this by fusing facts and fiction weaving it all in a traditional setting and ending with a resolution and a caveat. It hit its mark and was a great watch. The suspense was intriguing. Recommendation: Yes Rating: 8/10. Side Musings. Did you also think at one point that Inspector Oscar was the person they were looking for? Were you really scared? I wasn't at all. The horror level was low for me.”

“I liked the part 2 a lot.”

“I was disappointed please change the scripting”
