Oddity

8.4 - I feel like this is only going to hit for a niche audience, but when that audience finds it, it is going to *hit.* Elite atmosphere & Irish folk horror vibes, very well executed jump scares, a lingering feeling of dread, a surprise amount of humor, & a pretty solid twist. The pace is *really* slow, but when it gets going in the back half, it goes hard. My biggest issue is every single one of the kills happens offscreen, only ever leaving us with the grizzly aftermath. But otherwise this is an easy streaming recommendation when it hits Shudder.

Whoever used the heart rating for this movie, please pass me whatever you were smoking that day because I know it’s something strong

Bit slow and feel like there’s plot holes in the storyline but kept me guessing the whole time. Was pretty creepy

banale, lento. a parte qualche inquadratura interessante, non decolla, nemmeno parte.

3.5/5⭐️

Hokum is my #2 horror of 2026 behind #1 Bone Temple and ahead of #3 Backrooms (and #4 Obsession), so I wanted to check out Damian McCarthy’s other work. This is a bone chilling Irish ghost story with some very effective scares. Really enjoyed it
