Oddity

In the film’s final moments, Darcy, despite being blind, confronts Ted in his hospital room. She’s tied to a bed, overwhelmed with grief and anger over her sister Dani’s death—and she’s also determined to see justice done. Darcy’s psychic connection to the haunted objects she possesses becomes her weapon. Using her abilities, she unleashes the wooden man, which had previously been a protective figure tied to her family’s occult history. As the wooden guardian comes to life, it attacks Ted, who is complacent and dismissive of the supernatural. Darcy’s confrontation with Ted culminates in her deliberately setting a trap, causing her to fall from a one-story window in her rage and despair. Her fall leaves her blind and helpless, and her death deactivates the wooden man, leaving Ted free once more.

However, the story doesn’t end there. In the aftermath, Ted continues his malicious ways, but his own hubris leads to his downfall. After killing Darcy, he receives a mysterious package containing a haunted antique—an old call bell linked to a tragic story of a bellboy who fell to his death and whose spirit supposedly kills anyone who rings the bell. Ted, dismissing the story as superstition, rings the bell out of arrogance. The film concludes with a chilling implication that the bellboy’s spirit is now attached to him, and as he rings the bell, his smug attitude fades, replaced by dread, indicating that retribution from the haunted object is imminent. This ending leaves Ted doomed to face the consequences of his own evil, with the supernatural forces he refused to believe in finally catching up with him.
