Oddity
Directed by Damian Mc Carthy
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.
A psychic twin investigates the murder of her sister, with the help of an unbelievable cursed object, in this year's celebrated frightener.
Cast: Gwilym Lee, Carolyn Bracken, Tadhg Murphy, Caroline Menton, Steve Wall, Jonathan French, Joe Rooney

Good movie, though I believe it needed more characters to fill out the story .
Ya’ll I did not get the appeal to this movie. Ultimately, it’s a long drawn out story about a shit man doing what shit men do.
A good watch with a clever plot.
Damian McCarthy is a name to watch. This is his second feature. Caveat was his first. It's good. Oddity is better. My only complaint, and it's minor, is that it needed a few more cast members to enhance the Whodunit aspect of the film. That's really the only part of the film where you can feel the budget restraints. (Which I will gladly take over dodgy effects, bad acting, bad directing, etc. . ). Would love to see what he could do with a big budget. Highly recommend.
I liked it a lot, actually. The jump scares were well-done and not too cheesy, all of the creepy stuff was effective and not overdone, overall it was very good. I'll be looking into the other movies done by this director.
