Summary The paranormal and the horror mix together in Oddity , creating an authentically hair-raising experience that is as unsettling as it is terrifying. Not only does the horror film infuse its story with mystifying elements, but it injects it with domestic complications that make for an intriguing storyline. Written and directed by Damian Mc Carthy, Oddity had me at the edge of my seat, even in its most predictable moments.
The actors’ performances work in tandem, amplifying the mystery and unease that permeates the film from start to finish. Gwilym Lee’s Ted is aloof and hard to read, purposefully so, and Caroline Menton’s Yana is always one step away from a full-on eye roll, all while balancing her sense of fright of being in the house. Menton has the least to work with, but she’s properly annoyed and weirded out in every interaction. She has a very “I’m over it” attitude and it works. The actors’ performances work in tandem, amplifying the mystery and unease that permeates the film from start to finish.
