Oddity

Get ready for chills and thrills as The Oddity screens at Newcastle Community Cinema as part of their monthly Friday Fright Night series. On the first Friday of every month at 8 PM, cinema-goers can indulge in hand-picked global horror and popcorn spillers, and this month's selection promises to be a standout.

The Oddity, the 2024 Irish horror film written and directed by Damian McCarthy, dives into the unsettling world of a blind medium and curio shopkeeper, still haunted by the murder of her twin sister a year earlier. When a creepy wooden mannequin from her collection begins to reveal dark secrets, her desperate quest for the truth takes a sinister turn. Renowned for its eerie atmosphere, The Oddity has quickly climbed the ranks, regularly appearing in the top ten horror films of the year. Premiering at South by Southwest on March 8, 2024, it captivated audiences, winning the Audience Award in the Midnighter section. Don’t miss the chance to experience its spine-chilling tale at Newcastle!
