PRODUCTION NOTES

▸ Production

The film was shot in the same converted barn in County Cork, Ireland, as McCarthy's first film, Caveat. McCarthy was developing Oddity at the same time he was working on Caveat.

Effects artist Paul McDonnell created the life-size wooden golem with input from McCarthy. McCarthy cites films like Child's Play and Creepshow as influences. "I'm a big fan of those old 'doll comes to life' films," he said in 2024. "But they're always small, and I thought it would be cool to have one that's your size, that would be a force to reckon with if it did come alive."

McCarthy, who frequently browses antique stores, acquired many of the props for the film himself. The character Olin Boole was the subject of McCarthy's 2013 short film How Olin Lost His Eye, which explores the character's backstory.
