Oddity (film review) S2E5 Cade and Kit

🎥 Oddity — Isolation, Ghosts & a Wooden Man at the TableComing in at #8 on our “Top 13 Genre Films of 2024” list is Oddity — a horror-thriller that surprised us with smart pacing, grounded characters, and more than a few jump scares. Distributed by Shudder and IFC Films, it’s streaming now on Amazon Prime and AMC+.We watched this one in a hotel room (perfect vibes), and it gave us ghosts, grief, and a wooden mannequin that might be cursed. Let’s get into it.🪵 The PremiseA woman is brutally murdered while renovating an isolated stone house she shares with her husband — a psychologist working in a nearby mental institution. A year later, her blind twin sister (who owns an oddities shop and can see the past by touching objects) shows up with a crate... and some unresolved questions.🔪 Grief meets clairvoyance📸 A time-lapse camera catches something terrifying👁️ A glass eye reveals the truth — and it’s not what it seemsFrom a tense first act to a full-circle supernatural showdown, Oddity nails the eerie energy without relying on gore. And when the scares hit? They hit.👻 What Worked for Us​The set design is gorgeous and creepy — think medieval courtyard meets construction zone​The acting is top-tier, especially the girlfriend (shoutout to a scene-stealing performance)​The scares are earned — three solid jump scares that still got us, even when we saw them comingAnd we loved the blend of supernatural logic with grounded tension. The clairvoyant sister never felt over-explained — it just worked.It’s one of those rare horror films that gives you mystery, emotional payoff, and a haunted figurine that’s both weird and deeply upsetting.Would we open the door for a stranger with a glass eye warning us we’re not alone?We’d like to say no. But... we’re real people.🎬 Oddity – Streaming now🎥 Distributed by Shudder & IFC Films📺 Available on Amazon Prime & AMC+🍿 Cade & Kit Pairing Picks:​Drink: Cold white wine you almost spill in fear​Snack: A warm blanket (we’re counting it as a snack)​Activity: Watching this from bed and then double-checking your time-lapse camera footage💬 Have you ever seen a horror movie that made you rethink how you’d react in real life?
