In a year where indie horror movies outdid their blockbuster counterparts, it’s finally time to see one of the most praised when it drops on Shudder starting on September 27. The film is called Oddity, an Irish production, and it seemed to come out of nowhere this year even though it had a successful domestic premiere at SXSW in 2024.
The film, written and directed by Damian McCarthy is already available on VOD, but if you are a Shudder subscriber you won’t have to wait long before it hits the streaming service in two weeks.
“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,” reads the film’s summary. “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.
Oddity stars: Gwilym Lee, Carolyn Bracken, Tadhg Murphy, Caroline Menton, Jonathan French, and Steve Wall.
