Oddity

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

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

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.

This "Oddity" hides mysteries that are worth delving into. [Full review in Spanish]

Mc Carthy uses the single settings of his films with sensitivity and creativity.

Coolly executed and seductively simple, “Oddity,” the second feature from Damian McCarthy, is a fun, back-to-basics supernatural thriller that cares more about making us jump than making us cringe.

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.

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

[A] gothic horror where danger comes from unexpected places, although it is perhaps too restrained for its own good. [Full review in Spanish]

With an almost unbearable sense of dread, Oddity is a triumphant comeback for Mc Carthy, who has cemented his status as a filmmaker destined to make great and ghoulish things.
