ODDITY Movie Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@PawsomePalsPetService]

I think Darcy sent the box with the bell prior to her arrival as an insurance policy in case she died.

[@orduenshambe4891]

I found the movie very interesting because they kept it simple. The ending wasn't as good for me because she had promised she didn't want to kill him but expose him. They should have figured out a clever way to expose him and have him lose his job, house and face his gf.

[@lechugastudiosyt7465]

@@orduenshambe4891it works for me because technically she wanted to kill him initially but figured it would be more of a punishment for him for him to be exposed and lose everything ofc. The movie makes us believe she failed and right at the end it’s his lack of belief in the super natural and his own ego that is his undoing. And I think that her sending the bell was so if she ends up failing to expose him, he will still be punished in the end so it was very satisfying for me

[@GreatOutdoors1]

She also sent the large box before she arrived. I'm not sure how she had one arrive just before she got to the house and the other multiple days later.

[@lechugastudiosyt7465]

@@GreatOutdoors1 maybe she had that Amazon prime shipping so she knew exactly when it would get there LMAO. Nah ig if I’m making excuses for the movie maybe she didn’t have the package straight up mailed to them but rather had sent someone to “deliver” it to them like immediately and had the same person deliver the bell to the husband if she didn’t make it back to her shop by a certain time as a sorta insurance policy perhaps

[@PawsomePalsPetService]

@@GreatOutdoors1 I suspect she had sent the trunk prior to her brother in law stopping into her shop as she had already put her plan into action and once she had the eye 👁️ she knew she would need an insurance policy in case things went wrong when she visited the home.

Darcy definitely died because the golem didn't deliver the killing head crush to the orderly. As she died, he froze, and dropped the orderly.

[@angelpoj]

I think Darcy used the wooden “pumkinhead” type monster to get revenge on Olin Boole. When she learned that she killed the wrong person she hatched a plan to use the wooden man to kill the true murderers and shipped the bell to herself so that she could use the bellhop for self termination. Her plan got a little messed up when she fell through the floor. I believe she can only control the wooden monster while she is alive, it’s why the monster couldn’t finish Ivan, but it all worked out in the end when Dr. Timmis rang the bell. Darcy wanted to die in the house so that she could be with her sister Dani. Great story telling!

[@TechnicJunglist]

"And his girlfriend... she wasn't shit either." 😂

[@Cyberdine.Systems.Model-101]

I love this movie however three plot holes jump out at me: Why would the doctor give the blind medium the glass eye? How did the wooden golem get into the hospital without being seen, and why didn't the one eye man tell her "your husband wants you dead" when he was at the door?

[@GreatOutdoors1]

I agree that there are plot holes in this movie. I think she requested something personal from the man who murdered her sister and asked the doctor.

[@ThunderTaker1215]

For the glass eye: he doesn’t believe she’s actually psychic, so it wouldn’t make a difference.

[@eleanor5947]

The golem killed the glass-eyed man in the halfway house, not the hospital - so probably much less security than the hospital. But what I want to know is, why wasn't the murder of the glass-eyed man mentioned every time someone said he had killed Dani? Like, was no one wondering who killed him after he'd supposedly murdered Dani?

[@DonPetrushka]

​@@eleanor5947 exactly

[@slideinalldirections718]

I think Olin (one-eyed man) didn't tell Dani the husband part because she would have questioned why he thought that/how he knew, and if he told her he'd overheard them at the hospital she'd know he was a patient and probably not believe anything he said. It's more believable to hear from a stranger that he saw someone slip through the door she left open than that her husband planned her murder.

[@A-SpectNDO]

I love that the fact you guys remember every detail of the movie.

[@jasonsandoval680]

I saw it and thought it was great. Very different and devious. Plus the cameo from the bunny in Caveat was fun

[@jam_is_jammin]

The moral of this story is, "If you ever receive a package from Darcy, do not open it. Return to Sender, immediately!" Poor Olin, I bet she mailed the golem to the halfway house and that's how it got him. Savage! His roommate will be traumatized for life. Looks like he tried to report the murder he witnessed to the authorities and that's how he ended up in the mental institution, drawing sketches of the golem and the murder. Even Darcy knew murdering the wrong person would come back to her and she would pay for her mistake.

[@Samantha-w3x]

I knew the sister fixing that ( floor door)would play a part in this😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@theblackpinoy]

Darcy is dead the bell was a fail safe gift just in case

After The Watchers, this felt like a proper bit of Irish horror and I ended up enjoying this more than Longlegs. Seemed to be quite a bit of interest in it, too. Our theater was packed.

[@idkaliciaa]

You just got a new subscriber! I went and saw Oddity after feeling like I got punked by Nick Cage’s performance in Longlegs. This movie was effective with the supernatural horror and the jumpscares really got me

[@TalieKat]

I think the wooden object is a golem. Theyre traditionally made of clay, but can be made of wood. It's there to protect the sistes family, and she had to put stuff inside of it to make it come to live and do what she wanted. Idk thats just my thought. Any one have theorys on what it is?

[@edwinv196]

Oddity is better than Longlegs imo. The protagonists psychic abilities in this movie feel integral to her character and to the plot. Unlike Longlegs the evil isn't explained by the devil or demonic powers; in fact the supernatural elements are actually a force for good while the men are evil, but it's weaved together in way that works really well and doesn't take away from the creepiness of the ghost. I really liked it.

[@LowTempDabr]

For some reason i cant stop myself from watching your reviews even tho i know it'll spoil the movie

[@ScubaLeah]

It was disappointing to me that they portrayed a blind person who doesn't use a cane so that she conveniently falls through a trap door. She would have at least used the railing next to her as a guide to walk rather than walk straight across the room to the trap door.

[@Lilboozibert]

She sensed it. I thought she would have wanted to die there so that she could be with her sister. The way Carolyn played the scene reminded me of the lurching forward that people do when they prepare themselves for something difficult and they know what's on the other side.

[@politefan8141]

*Spoilers* It had a few minor plot conveniences but was very good. I wondered why Ted let the girlfriend get away when she had enough dirt on him to expose him and why Olin didn't reveal Ted's plan to Danni since he overheard the entire conversation through the vents. I assume it was the mannequin which killed Olin although I have no idea of how it would have been delivered there. The movie itself had the hair on my arms raised at least six times which is extremely rare for a horror movie. There were three extremely effective jump scares involving the girlfriend that was all the more impressive given the pacing. Darcy was equally vulnerable and creepy as hell. Also liked the stabs at dark humor. Overall, one of the better horror movies to come out lately which should be seen in theaters.

[@anib8555]

Darcy died in the house, that was the second person the girlfriend was referring to in the voice recording. If you remember, the orderly didn’t die in the house he was strapped to the hospital bed and I assume eaten by that patient with the Hannibal Lecter muzzle.

I went to see this movie opening day and I was the only one in the theater. And it was soooo good! I think it's because the movie had almost no marketing whereas longlegs had tons of marketing, but one could easily argue that this movie is better than Longlegs. I enjoyed it more. I would honestly say this was my favorite horror movie of the year so far. I laughed so loud at the end. Wasn't what I was expecting but that makes it good. To end it on such an humorous note for a movie that had very little humor throughout was good.

[@finpark7785]

Why didn't that one eyed guy just say "Your fuckin POS husband hired someone to kill you" instead of literally acting crazy, they never really implied that he was still insane after killing his mother, infact they were releasing him. Wasn't the reason he was there to save her? There is absolutely no reason he had to deliver that information so crypticly like that,...

[@brodyschum]

I wrestled with that a bit myself, but upon a second viewing, given that Ivan had already beaten Olin to the house and because Dani was horrified at Olin’s sudden appearance, she would’ve had zero reason to believe him if he’d said her husband hired someone to kill her. She didn’t even believe him that someone was in the house until she heard the floors creaking. Who could blame her? A frantic mental patient shows up at her door in the middle of the night demanding to be let in for a “look around” because someone is inside. Sounds more like a twist on the home invader who claims he’s been in an accident than it does that Olin is some sort of bedraggled, one-eyed guardian angel. Given the stakes and time constraints to save her, I s’pose he did the best he could, especially by encouraging her to call the police.

[@finpark7785]

​@@brodyschum True, the only part about their interaction that really bothered me was when he said “I heard them in the wall... I heard them in the wall, and I came here, and I saw someone”. There was NO reason to say it like that... At the beginning he seemed anxious, and out of breath, which is understandable. Still, then , for no reason, he speaks in a way that is intentionally vague and gives the impression that he's having mental issues.

[@brodyschum]

@@finpark7785 Yeah, that does discount any credibility he may have hoped to gain, seeing as his sudden and rather distressed appearance was grounds for Dani to fear for her life right from the onset. But, to be fair, I think he was, indeed, having mental issues, as he was traumatized from an early age, and who knows what they were giving him at that hospital aside from a regular dose of abuse?

[@finpark7785]

@brodyschum true, also, the facility itself was an obvious hell hole for those vulnerable patients, to the point where it felt a bit cartoony. I had such high hopes for oddity and long legs, but they were a 7/10 for me....

[@andreoid42]

The orderly died at the hospital because the scary man ate him. So sadly, it was Darcy who died. 😢The bell was likely an accident. Like she sent it before the whole shit hit the fan, as a joke? Because of their conversation? If not, she probably scheduled the shipment before she left her apartment with the wooden creature. As we learned, her plan was to kill the orderly and expose the brother-in-law, and she failed at both.

I have a question! So I saw Oddity tonight and loved it. In one of the first scenes of the film we see Dani putting the finishing touches on that trap door that Darcy ended up falling through. What was that about? There has to be some connection there.

[@Lilboozibert]

That's also where the "connection" (phone reception) is. I feel like it's a symbolic nexus, spiritual wormhole that "signals" the joining of past and future events.

Darcy is dead. Sorry. When her dead sister opens up the trap door and looks down on her is when she passes. The orderly didn’t die in the house. He was restrained in a bed in the psychiatric hospital and the most dangerous patient was released on him. We assume that patient killed him but he definitely didn’t die in the house. So the “two people who died in that house“ were the sisters?

Am I missing something?

[@lesliepeternell9563]

The husband had no intention of talking with the policeman or the attorney. That was just what he told her to give her a convincing reason to answer the phone. He opened the trap door and left the phone on the opposite side of the room intentionally, knowing that when Darcy went to get it she would fall through the opening. He set it up so she would hopefully die and he’d be free and clear.

[@dashabarnes177]

@@lesliepeternell9563 correct. And who uses a cell phone that way? Do you go and ask someone in person to call your number instead of dialing it directly from your phone when you need to get a hold of them? That’s completely illogical and therefore extremely suspicious. Are we supposed to believe that a smart woman would fall for something like this? Darcy’s only immediate response should be “Call him right now, no need to leave the phone behind waiting for him to call when you can literally dial his number and call the attorney yourself right now!”
