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 tragic 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.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

This carefully controlled and pointedly shot film takes a hoary old set of staples and cobbles together something admirably original.

Rated: 4/5

While the story of Oddity is a fascinating one, it is less the tale itself than the particular way McCarthy chooses to tell it that renders it one of the year’s best horror movies

IGN Movies

Irish director Damian Mc Carthy shows great skill in creating uncanny atmosphere with an elegantly constructed tale that combines supernatural chills and violent revenge in the EC Comics tradition.

Rated: 7/10

Decider

Oddity is a ghost story, a whodunnit, a jump-scare freakout, a twisty slow-burn psychothriller and a revenge saga all wrapped into one taut little horror film.

Horror Queers Podcast

From its intricately plotted screenplay to Carolyn Bracken's impeccable lead performance (not to mention some of the most patient, yet effective, scares we've seen in quite some time), Oddity is a real winner.

Rated: 4.5/5

Horror Queers Podcast

Damian McCarthy's follow-up to his already solid debut film Caveat is confident, assured and (most importantly) scary.
