Oddity Interview: Your Next Creepy Horror Obsession Is The Wooden Man
8Sure, we’ve seen our fair share of horror movies with haunted objects in them, like in The Conjuring franchise, but filmmaker Damian Mc Carthy is carving out a unique and very special place for himself in that sub-genre via an especially deft hand when crafting them, one that gives his movies an unmatched and highly refreshing texture and elegance.
Mc Carthy’s second feature film as a director is Oddity. It stars Carolyn Bracken as Darcy, a psychic and collector of cursed objects. A year after her twin sister, Dani (Bracken), is brutally murdered, Darcy opts to visit the scene of the crime — a home Dani’s husband (Gwilym Lee) now shares with his new girlfriend, Yana (Caroline Menton). With the help of an eerie wooden mannequin, Darcy sets out to uncover the truth about Dani’s death.
While in Austin for Oddity’s world premiere at the SXSW film festival, Bracken, Lee, and Mc Carthy all visited the Collider Interview studio to discuss their experience bringing the story to screen.
