Set in a Nigerian boarding school, the supernatural film dives deep into academic pressure, ancient spirits, and the terrifying price of perfection.
The wait is over! Ms. Kanyin, the much-anticipated supernatural thriller from Nemsia Studios, is now streaming exclusively on Prime Video.
The film, which takes a bold step into the Afro-horror genre, is set in an elite Nigerian boarding school where academic pressure, buried secrets, and the deadly quest for perfection collide.
Ms. Kanyin follows Amara, a brilliant but desperate student who makes a life-changing decision to secure her future. But in her pursuit of success, she unknowingly awakens an ancient spirit. What begins as a risky academic shortcut quickly spirals into a terrifying fight for survival.
At the heart of the story is Ms. Kanyin, a dedicated teacher whose peaceful world is shattered when the dark forces lurking in her school’s shadows come to light.
Directed by Jerry Ossai, and starring Temi Otedola, Michelle Dede, Kanaga Jnr, Tolu George, and a talented young cast, the film delivers a chilling mix of coming-of-age drama, African folklore, and supernatural suspense.
Speaking about the film, Derin Adeyokunnu, Co-Founder of Nemsia Studios, said, “With Ms. Kanyin, we wanted to tell a horror story rooted in our lived experiences — the pressure of growing up, the fear of failure, and the consequences of silence. It’s thrilling, deeply Nigerian, and speaks to a generation hungry for bold storytelling.”
Ms. Kanyin marks another major milestone for Nemsia Studios, the powerhouse behind Before 30, Breath of Life, and The Fire & the Moth. The studio continues to raise the bar by championing authentic Nigerian stories that resonate both locally and internationally.
