Critics Consensus

Anton Yelchin is the right man for the title role, but Odd Thomas suffers from a jumbled tone.

Bruce Ingram Chicago Sun-Times Yep, he's an odd one all right. You're likely to get tired of hearing about it pretty quick, though. Rated: 2/4 Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Cary Darling Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Odd Thomas is an engagingly lightweight and occasionally visually inventive film that should appeal to Koontz fans and anyone else open to his whimsical approach to horror. Rated: 3/5 Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer An endearing, witty romantic dramedy-slash-supernatural-thriller about a small desert town in California beset by demonic apparitions and a satanic cabal of deranged would-be mass murderers. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Subscribes to the notion that Hollywood entertainment consists of hammering the senses until the viewer has lost any semblance of intelligent thought. Rated: 2/4 Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A film that bungles the essence of romantic relationships, comedic timing, and preternatural thrills. Rated: 1/5 Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Karl Delossantos Smash Cut Reviews Odd Thomas has one really good thing going for it, and that's Anton Yelchin. After that, there's not much there.

Ian S The most odd thing of all is why Willem Dafoe signed on for this silliness. Oddly corny and sleep inducing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Khaztiel Delbod D Un principio aburrido que más cogiendo ritmo mientras avanza y con un final que no me espere. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Bruce L This PG-13 movie comes across like it was written as an r-rated thriller and then toned way down. It has very clunky narration which seems like it was added afterwards after focus groups were confused. Every bit of surprise is sucked out of it. Every bit of suspense or peril comes across flat because of this narration. What little world building they do with some sort of portal to hell and strange beings is never really fleshed out. This is really just a generic light-hearted action movie in which nobody really has an arc. Thomas knows he's odd right away and therefore we do right away. He starts off in love so we have no will they or won't they suspense?. We don't find out anything new about Thomas that he didn't already know. The visual effects are original and interesting to look at but this really comes across as a really long TV pilot that wound up as a movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Tim M Odd Thomas has an appealing lead in Anton Yelchin, but Stephen Sommers's erratic direction makes this supernatural thriller wholly sinful. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Alexander T This is a very good movie. It has a cool plot and good cgi. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/10/25 Full Review Santiago A Tiene unos bueno cambios en la trama pero te aburre al inicio lo repetitivo luego mejora la película siguiendo su idea de ser repetitiva. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
