As a longtime horror fan and follower of the genre scene, I can’t help but be excited about the latest offering that has been making waves among critics and audiences alike – Oddity. With its perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and glowing reviews from respected film publications, this movie promises to deliver a chilling and suspenseful experience that will leave us on the edge of our seats.
Due to the latest sensation in horror cinema, “Longlegs” with Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage receiving rave reviews, the genre is once again capturing public attention. The upcoming movie “Oddity,” filled with chilling elements such as a clairvoyant blind woman, an enigmatic cabinet of oddities, and a spooky wooden doll, has already gained a flawless score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Consequently, it could become the anticipated follow-up to Osgood Perkins’ successful serial killer thriller.
When I watched “Oddity,” I was thoroughly impressed. Patrick Cavanaugh of ComicBook.com gave it a near-perfect score of 4 out of 5. He couldn’t stop praising director Damian Mc Carthy for keeping me on the edge of my seat and guessing what would happen next.
Filmmaker Damian McCarthy showcases his passion and assurance in crafting horror stories, offering various shades of fear throughout the movie, keeping audiences guessing with each unexpected turn.
Chris Evangelista from Slashfilm assures horror enthusiasts that they won’t be disappointed by “Oddity,” as he is well-versed in creating jumps scares.
“Oddity has an uncanny ability to instill fear, a feat not easily achieved. This chilling tale, skillfully crafted, will haunt you long after the lights are out and the darkness takes over. And in that silence, you may hear an unexplained sound, sending shivers down your spine. Such is the essence of great horror, and Oddity stands out as one of the best horror films of the year.”
Nick Schager from The Daily Beast reassures horror enthusiasts that “Oddity” is exceptionally skilled at creating jitters, and recommends it as an ideal choice for those seeking additional chilling experiences this summer. If “Longlegs” leaves you yearning for more unnerving excitement, consider giving “Oddity,” a terrifying new horror production by Damian Mc Carthy, a try.
Despite being a first-time director, this production puts a strong emphasis on creating an otherworldly ambiance and exploring the mysterious forces that connect us to one another, be they living, dead, or something in between. Although it takes place in a recognizable world of spectral faces, marionette masters, ominous pieces, and vengeful specters seeking retribution against their wrongdoers, what sets Oddity apart is its skillful application of these elements to deliver truly shocking scares.
Oddity Promises Has Been Called a ‘Must-Watch’ Horror Flick
At SXSW this year, Chase Hutchinson from Collider previewed the film “Oddity,” sharing that viewers can expect some surprises. After watching the horror-comedy earlier, Hutchinson described it as both “scarily real” and “darkly amusing.”
In a clever nod to its genre while still delivering genuine terror in a classic manner, this film leaves a lasting impression. When unexpected events occur, the feeling of freefall is intensely felt.
I’ve recently come across Tessa Smith’s review of the movie at Mama’s Geeky, and although she found it predictable, she strongly recommends it as a must-watch horror experience. Her appreciation for the film primarily stems from its central source of terror – the chilling wooden doll.
Due to outstanding acting, chilling music, and a gripping plotline, the film “Oddity” leaves an uneasy feeling – in a favorable sense for horror enthusiasts. The wooden man character is genuinely frightening and may well linger in the nightmares of numerous spectators.
Damian Mc Carthy both wrote and helmed the production of “Oddity.” The film’s cast includes Gwilym Lee, Carolyn Bracken, Tadhg Murphy, Caroline Menton, Steve Wall, and Jonathan French in notable roles. For more information about this horror story, refer to the official synopsis provided below.
At a secluded countryside home under renovation, Dani is tragically killed in a gruesome manner. Her husband Ted, who’s a doctor at the local mental health institution, becomes the prime suspect. Yet, not long after, the suspected individual is found dead. A year later, Dani’s blind twin sister Darcy, who claims to be psychic and possess a cursed collection of items, unannounced visits Ted and his new lover Yana. Believing there was more to her sister’s murder than met the eye, Darcy arrives armed with the most perilous items from her cursed collection, intent on avenging Dani.
The unusual film titled “Oddity” is scheduled to make its US debut on July 19, 2024. Additionally, it will be featured in this month’s Fantasia International Film Festival. For a sneak peek of this chilling horror production, please watch the trailer below.
