Holi-Shudder-Day: Oddity (2024)

In lieu of a Leprechaun Film, let's check out something well-reviewed and Irish instead.

Slainte!

A woman is left alone in a House in the middle of nowhere at night.

A strange, one-eyed man knocks on the door.

He says that he's here to help.

A year later, we meet the Sister of the same Woman- who is blind and can 'read' objects.

Do Stop Signs count?

She wants to know more about what happened to her Sister.

The Husband would be the guy to ask then, wouldn't he?

Why is he so suspicious?
Why does he not listen to anyone when they are worried?

His new beau ends up stuck in the same House from before with the blind Sister and her new....friend?

She gets curious, but what is the real danger here?

Are you ready for the world's most awkward Dinner?

If so, you should be ready for Oddity...but you aren't.

And yes, even this Film has a fake, AI-generated Trailer Image.

That's...not for this Movie.

To find out what *actually* happens, stream this one now.

Better to wear green than suffer in the dark.

This Film isn't quite as Irish as I'd hoped.  Nobody drinks Guiness or anything!

That said, it is really good.

The Film is similar to stuff like Hereditary with its slow burn, freaky moments and sudden scares.  This isn't like the Conjuring Films- thank Patrick!

Oddity is a Film that does alot with very little.  Simple setups, long shots and payoffs are the name of the game.

If you're looking for big Action or amazing VFX, look elsewhere.
If you're looking for Character Drama, tension and scares, this is for you.

Also it sure is nice to see the Brother of the guy from The Fear getting work.

A genuinely-unsettling, strange and scary Film.  Just know that you'll have to wait for every payoff - they're worth it!
