Time to scare yourself silly.
So far, the year’s horror offerings have been a mixed bag, but that’s fine—that’s what summer is for. This July, however, we’re being treated to a bounty of excellent, and very scary, things to see. We’ve already had Maxxxine, a love letter to slick 1980s horror from Ty West, and the prequel A Quiet Place: Day One, which has been raking it in at the box office. Those movies are perfectly good Hollywood entertainments, but a new run of indie art-house horror represents something special.
Oddity This is an excruciatingly scary film set in Ireland with a set-up that might seem expected , but Oddity loads such intense jump scares and go-for-it storytelling into its short runtime that the movie feels singular and new. Oddity opens in theaters today and is the second feature from Damian McCarthy, an Irish writer-director with a fixation on dark hallways and building tension beat by beat.
