Mc Carty's latest film confirms he has a nose for horror cinema, but the film itself is a bit plain and predictable. Caveat has a nicer and more intriguing premise, whereas Oddity is a standard haunting story. If there's anything original here, it's more in the added crime elements, but they felt a tad unnecessary.
It's hard to fault the film for specific parts. The performances are good, the presentation is stylish, and the pacing and runtime are perfect. It's just that the haunting are quite tame and the payoff is a bit basic. Mc Carty is one to watch, that much is clear now. I just hope he goes for a better script next time around.
