The Big Picture Sure, we’ve seen our fair share of horror movies with haunted objects in them, like in The Conjuring franchise, but filmmaker Damian Mc Carthy is carving out a unique and very special place for himself in that sub-genre via an especially deft hand when crafting them, one that gives his movies an unmatched and highly refreshing texture and elegance.
Before getting to the wealth of haunted objects featured in the film, including the aforementioned Wood Man, Bracken took a moment to touch on pulling double duty while making the movie. While Dani and Darcy are twins, they’re very different people, and Bracken set out to reflect that, but while ensuring the audience always felt the familial connection. She explained:
“It’s so easy to wax lyrical about this man. First of all, as you can tell, he's just such a down-to-eart h, lovely, gentle, warm kind of individual and creates a great atmosphere on set to work with. He is also an encyclopedia of horror. Knows the genre inside out, and it's what makes this film work so well, I think, is because he knows how the mechanics work, how the cogs work, and plays around with those moments as well.
'Oddity's Oddities Are Real Creepy Objects the Director Collects Given Mc Carthy has a habit of collecting oddities and supposedly haunted objects, it should come as no surprise that Oddity is filled with them. And the same is true of his previous work as well. In fact, Mc Carthy is building a haunted object cinematic universe of sorts with these items. He explained:
Given the film’s SXSW description refers to him as a “wooden mannequin” and many festival attendees whipped up their own names for the item, I opted to ask Mc Carthy for clarity. Does he have an official name, even if it’s just a term used during the production process? Mc Carthy revealed, “It was just always The Wooden Man. We never named it. We never nicknamed it.
Given I haven’t stopped wondering about where The Wooden Man came from and every single thing he's capable of myself, I opted to ask Mc Carthy if even he knows these details. Did he ever whip up a Wooden Man bible of sorts?
