Writer/Director Damian Mc Carthy made his feature debut with the Irish horror movie Caveat in 2021, and Mc Carthy is back with a brand new vision of unsettling nightmare fuel.
Get ready for a creepy wooden mannequin to invade your nightmares when Oddity releases in theaters on July 19, 2024. Watch the brand new official trailer from IFC Films below.
In Oddity, “When Dani is brutally murdered at the remote country house that she and her husband Ted are renovating, everyone suspects a patient from the local mental health institution, where Ted is a doctor. However, soon after the killing, the suspect is found dead.
“A year later, Dani’s blind twin sister Darcy, a self-proclaimed psychic and collector of cursed items, pays an unexpected visit to Ted and his new girlfriend, Yana. Convinced that there was more to her sister’s murder than people know, Darcy has brought with her the most dangerous items from her cursed collection to help her exact revenge.”
Gwilym Lee, Carolyn Bracken, Tadhg Murphy, Caroline Menton, Steve Wall, Jonathan French, and Joe Rooney star in the supernatural revenge chiller.
The film was one of the most buzzed about Midnighters out of this year’s SXSW. Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of the fest, “Like Caveat, Oddity sets its strange murder mystery in a creepy, isolated home and employs an unsettling mascot to signal the paranormal. Oddity even teases the fate of some of Caveat’s characters.”
“But Mc Carthy’s latest sets itself apart with its fixation on superstition and a winsome macabre sense of humor,” Meagan’s review for Bloody Disgusting continued. “The pared-back storytelling lets its horror elements and dual performances from Carolyn Bracken shine.”
