The source of their misery is an old video one of them posted a year ago, which led to a friend's suicide. The supposed ghost of that girl haunts them and kills them throughout the film. Thinking that there was a possible villain attached to this myth, and they were somehow getting into these people's homes and computers, I thought this was an interesting concept.
These flashbacks center around Mia’s on-again-off-again relationship with boyfriend Adam (Blackley), which pushes the film more towards relationship drama than supernatural drama. Though much of what makes this a tearjerker lies in Mia's ties to her family (and is the main conflict within the film) the action keeps coming back to this relationship.
"Odd Thomas" isn't an odd choice for adaptation. It's quirky, adventurous, popular, and relies on the supernatural. It would have been better utilized if not in an indie setting, best exemplified by the less than perfect effects. Some are really spot on, but there's a lot of computer generated stuff that looks ugly and half-assed. The plot is also rather meager, as it uses the same twist twice in the film, to a lesser effect the second time.
