Odd Thomas Ratings & Reviews
- PureSp1r1t17 juli 2025Watching this movie for this first time after Yelchin's death adds a whole other level to this movie.
- Brietta Walker25 juni 2025This is a 5 out of 5.
- Christopher Park10 mars 2025funny, quirky, silly, doesn't apologize.
- Joepublic8 oktober 2025I read the book from Dean Koontz long before this was ever a movie and if you did then you know it was great. I don't care what anyone else says, it was true to the book. Loved it and the lead actor. RIP.
- spacemanspiff91810 mars 2026This movie makes me so angry that this brilliant young actor was snuffed out by a grand Cherokee jeep with a defective braking mechanism. He is so talented and vibrant in every performance. Gone too soon.
- kirstenschneider16216 februari 2026Most excellent
- haroldcrookedneck15 november 2025Great show, highly recommend
- Brian Markey25 januari 2026This movie has action, mystery, sci-fi, and a love story all in one. I initially thought this would be a low budget disappointment but it ended up keeping me completely entertained throughout. I highly recommend 👌
- Nicholas Florio24 januari 2026Very corny. Target audience: tweens and "Twilight" fanatics. Possibly "Stranger Things" fans because of the cast. I'm a Stranger Things fan and I couldn't get into this. Eleven was way cooler than any of the quippy-dialogued female characters in this movie. It isn't a bad movie, it's just not really for adults, in my opinion...
- Josh.51 januari 2026I feel like this could have done a better job of laying out the storyline. Things seem a bit butchered in places. The opening scenes seem too unbelievable. And at the end of it all, I dont understand – can he touch ghosts or can't he?
- Shaydeknight19 december 2025Odd Thomas feels like a lighter, superhero-adjacent cousin to ParaNorman or a more action-oriented variation on The Sixth Sense. It positions its protagonist as a gifted outsider who can see the dead and sense impending violence, but the film never quite settles into a tone that makes those elements come together properly. Having never read a Dean Koontz novel, I can't speak to the film's faithfulness to the source material. What does come across, however, is an apparent attempt to translate Koontz's literary dialogue style directly to the screen. The result is uneven at best. Much of the dialogue is stilted, emotionally flat, and oddly reminiscent of 1940s noir banter, only stripped of grit and charm, and replaced with glossy visuals and CGI. Occasionally it works, but more often it feels wooden and artificial. The voiceover is particularly problematic. While Anton Yelchin was quite a talented young actor whose early passing is genuinely tragic, the narration here is overly chipper, draining tension rather than enhancing it. It seems intended to capture the tone of the novel's internal monologue, but onscreen it becomes distracting and grating. From a technical standpoint, the film is competently made. Production values are high, the special effects are solid, and there are moments of genuine tension. The story itself is serviceable and occasionally engaging. Unfortunately, these strengths are undercut by inconsistent dialogue and character logic. Odd frequently behaves like a police officer (conducting investigations, inserting himself into dangerous situations) yet the film never adequately explains why he wouldn't simply pursue law enforcement if his goal is to stop bad people. Addressing his motivations is given seconds of screen time and why he does what he does remains frustratingly vague. Ultimately, Odd Thomas is less a horror film than an action-detective thriller with supernatural elements. It has the ingredients for something memorable, but they never fully gel. The end result is a film that is watchable, occasionally effective, but ultimately middle of the road.
- Drew Chase19 augusti 2025It was a fun film, it was cheesy and low budget, but it was fun.
- dancurran65218 juni 2025It's not a horrendous film, but not the best acting, and the narrating is not needed and spoils it.
- Michael Johnson22 oktober 2025This movie is good, though not quite as great as the book. It really should’ve been made into a series. That way, they wouldn’t have had to leave out so many important characters. That said, for a runtime of just an hour and forty minutes, they did a great job with the time they had. It feels like a mix between Stranger Things and the American version of Dirk Gently, but it actually predates both by about three years. Overall, it’s worth watching for the writing alone.
- Poncho21 oktober 2025I liked it. Not as good as the book but it was still a good movie.
