Oddity
A film by Damian McCarthy
Ireland, 2024, 98'
Portuguese Premiere
“Oddity”, the new paranormal horror film by Irishman Damian Mc Carthy (“Caveat”), is one of the must-attend September premieres at MOTELX – a treat for anyone who likes jump scares. A few months have passed since the death of her twin sister when Darcy, a blind psychic who runs a curio shop, is visited by Ted. Before he leaves, her ex-brother-in-law gives her two pieces of news – Dani’s killer has been brutally murdered in his cell and he’s going to remarry. Upset, Darcy returns Ted’s courtesy and visits him a few days later at his home. She takes with her one of the objects in her collection: a wooden golem. Ted has to go to work, but Yana, his new girlfriend, Darcy and the mysterious statue are about to begin the longest night of their lives. In a game of tension (between mysticism and scepticism) carefully nestled in the geography of a single place, “Oddity” crawls up your spine with its silences, shadows, and twists.
