Oddity

Oddity (2024) is an Irish horror mystery you can watch online on iFILM. Writer-director Damian McCarthy centers the film on a blind woman who runs a shop full of cursed objects and trusts her hands more than anyone else's eyes.

A year ago, Dani was beaten to death inside her remote countryside house. Her widowed husband, a doctor, now lives there with a new partner. Then Darcy turns up uninvited — Dani's twin sister and the keeper of that strange shop. Carolyn Bracken plays both women. Darcy brings a gift no one wants in the house: a life-size wooden mannequin. From there the place fills up with things that were supposed to stay buried.

McCarthy works almost without digital effects, leaning on silence, a creaking door and a still figure seated in the dark. The film picked up genre festival awards and a reputation as one of the most unnerving horrors of its year. Stream Oddity (2024) online on iFILM.
