Psychological Horror “IDIA” Brings Edo Myth to the Big Screen This October

The Nollywood psychological horror film IDIA is set to premiere in cinemas nationwide on October 24, 2025, with Silverbird Film Distribution handling its release.

Produced by Golden Minute Pictures and inspired by Edo mythology, IDIA delves into the chilling consequences of unanswered prayers and the supernatural. 

The story follows a young orphan who becomes the long-awaited answer to a childless couple’s prayers—but what begins as a blessing soon takes a dark and unexpected turn.

The upcoming feature brings together an ensemble cast led by Mercy Aigbe, Linda Osifo, and Tope Tedela, whose performances are expected to drive the film’s emotional and psychological tension.

Described as a haunting blend of folklore and psychological drama, IDIA aims to offer a fresh take on the horror genre in Nollywood, exploring themes of desire, loss, and destiny through the lens of cultural mythology.

The film’s release adds to the growing slate of locally rooted horror titles gaining traction in Nigerian cinema, marking another step forward in the industry’s exploration of traditional beliefs and psychological storytelling.
