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. 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.

Critics Consensus

The jump scares, when they inevitably come, are handled just the right ratio of shamelessness to skill.

4/5

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

It’s a remarkably efficient film that barely gives you a chance to breathe.

What’s inn the box. If I was in the movie, I would have Kool-Aid Man’d my way out of the house. Do not pass Go, keep your $200. The fact this thing stays out as long as it does is why people always die in horror movies. Sell the house. Move far far away.

...for some reason, instead of rolling my eyes, I was truly engaged with this movie. I think it’s because all of the reality-based elements seem plausible, and all the supernatural elements seem interesting or novel.
