Damian McCarthy’s ODDITY - On Disc and Digital, Jan.

Garnering praise galore on its premiere at South by Southwest Festival and following its recent bow on Shudder, Damian McCarthy’s unique, spine-tingling horror – ODDITY – is now set for its physical and digital release thanks to Acorn Media International, to kick off your 2025 in terror.

We’re introduced to Dani (Carolyn Bracken – The Gone, The Quiet Girl), alone in a big, cold, dark house, that she and doctor husband Ted (Gwilym Lee – Bohemian Rhapsody, The Great) are renovating, while he’s working late at the local mental health hospital. A disturbed young man (Johnny French – Caveat) knocks on her door…  Dani is later found brutally murdered.

With one of Ted’s patients as the main suspect, the case seems clear cut, but when he also turns up dead, a terrifying sense of fear and confusion starts to creep in and we soon realise than anything and everything is not what it seems.

One year later with the case all but closed… Dani’s blind twin sister Darcy, a self-proclaimed psychic and collector of cursed items, pays an unexpected visit to the house, where Ted now lives with new girlfriend Yana (Caroline Menton – All Creatures Great and Small, Altar Boy).

Darcy is convinced she holds the key to her sister's murder and brings with her the most dangerous items from her cursed collection.  She is determined to prove who killed her sister whatever the cost and unleashes unimageable nightmarish vengeance.

The truly original film has been described as ‘Scary, mysterious, upsetting and effecting’ by Nerdist, with Floating World commenting ‘The sense of unease McCarthy creates has no equal… his effective filmmaking – unnerving framing, sense of claustrophobia and timing really pays off’ and arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and digital on 6 January 2025.

This is one ODDITY you’ll definitely want on your shelf.
