Writer/Director Damian Mc Carthy made his feature debut with the Irish horror movie Caveat in 2021, currently available to stream on Shudder, and his follow-up, Oddity, intends to get even creepier. Today, we’ve got an exclusive first look at the poster ahead of tomorrow’s trailer debut, which highlights the film’s ultra-creepy mannequin.

Get ready for this wooden mannequin to invade your nightmares when Oddity releases in theaters on July 19, 2024.

In Oddity, “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.”

Gwilym Lee, Carolyn Bracken, Tadhg Murphy, Caroline Menton, Steve Wall, Jonathan French, and Joe Rooney star in the supernatural revenge chiller.

Producers include Katie Holly, Laura Tunstall, and Evan Horan.

The film was one of the most buzzed about Midnighters out of this year’s SXSW. I wrote in my review out of the fest, “Like Caveat, Oddity sets its strange murder mystery in a creepy, isolated home and employs an unsettling mascot to signal the paranormal. Oddity even teases the fate of some of Caveat’s characters. But Mc Carthy’s latest sets itself apart with its fixation on superstition and a winsome macabre sense of humor. The pared-back storytelling lets its horror elements and dual performances from Carolyn Bracken shine.”

Get a peek at the new poster below ahead of tomorrow’s trailer reveal, and stay tuned for more on this freaky film from IFC Films and Shudder.
