‘Oddity’ Director Damian McCarthy Created a Festival Favorite by Collecting a Treasure Trove of Haunted Items — Including a Terrifying Wooden Man
Damian McCarthy, who directed the new horror movie 'Oddity,' talks about the haunted items seen throughout the film.
He shot his first film, “Caveat,” and his buzzy new second feature, “ Oddity ” in a spacious converted barn in his native Ireland, and every nook and cranny bounces light like a real-life, if slightly dingy, manor. “Oddity,” from IFC Films / Shudder, is filled with artifacts from the past, as a woman who is blind named Darcy (Carolyn Bracken) tries to find out who killed her sister using the objects from her store of haunted items — including an imposing wooden man. McCarthy spoke with Variety about creating a dynamic role for a character who is blind, potential sequel ideas and shooting both of his films in one confined space.
