Oddity: a horror thriller set in 2024 with almost perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score
With critical praise and a high benchmark for the year's horror offers, Oddity, a terrifying horror-thriller set in 2024, has almost perfect debut on Rotten Tomatoes. Under Damian McCarthy's direction, the film offers a gripping narrative around the unresolved murder of Dani, a woman who sadly dies in her remote house. The main suspect is a man connected to the nearby mental hospital where Ted, Dani's husband, is a doctor. Years later, though, Dani's twin sister Darcy visits Ted's house motivated by a belief that a more sinister force is involved in relation to her sister's murder.
Rotten Tomatoes score for Oddity: a critical triumph
The film's outstanding 98% Rotten Tomatoes score is evidence of the critical praise it has attracted. Although the audience score right now is 58%, it is important to keep in mind that this score is based on a small number of ratings and changes with increasing viewer participation. Given the film's rather low profile in relation to other horror films, this almost perfect score for Oddity is quite remarkable.
Oddity vs Other 2024 Horror Movies
Given other horror movies set for release in 2024, Oddity's critical success is even more remarkable. Oddity has exceeded several higher-budget horror films despite the relatively new director, Damian Mccarthy, and a cast of actors with less popular knowledge. It outperforms, for example, the Blumhouse productions Imaginary and Night Swim, which got marks of 24% and 20% respectively. On Rotten Tomatoes, even The First Omen, much awaited prequel, only scored an 82%. Regarding critical reception, Late Night with the Devil, an arthouse horror movie with a 97% Tomatometer score, would be Oddity's nearest rival.
The Captivating Premise of Oddity and Prospect for Success
The film's compelling concept—which centers on the twin dynamic—is a major component in its critical praise. A good movie starts with the possibility for a great lead performance and the engaging narrative. The great Rotten Tomatoes rating and the intriguing idea imply that Oddity might become a box office hit when it opens this weekend in theatres. Oddity's critical praise and buzz could be the impetus for a strong run that possibly surpasses expectations for a movie with a rather low profile. With its gripping narrative and almost perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, this new horror thriller might turn into a sleeper hit drawing viewers.
