10 Most WTF Moments From 2024 Horror Movies
6. The Husband Did It - Oddity
Firstly, if you haven't seen Oddity yet, just go and watch it right now.
Damian McCarthy's brilliantly executed old-school chiller begins with the murder of psychiatrist Ted Timmis' (Gwilym Lee) wife Dani (Carolyn Bracken), and though we're initially led to believe that one of Ted's patients is responsible, it's quickly clear that something fishy is going on.
What's less predictable, though, is that Ted turns out to have orchestrated his wife's demise himself, with it eventually being revealed that he hired Ivan (Steve Wall), an orderly at the psychiatric hospital where he works, to kill Dani so he was free to start a new life with another woman, Yana (Caroline Menton).
It's a savage twist that leads to a gut-wrenching third act in which Ted attempts to cover his tracks, leaving more death in his wake. However, Ted didn't count on Dani's twin sister Darcy (also played by Carolyn Bracken) having a supernatural plan in place to ensure Ted wouldn't get away with his heinous crimes.
