In the unusual new supernatural thriller Odd Thomas, a man with mysterious powers must battle to save a small town from total destruction.
Odd Thomas (Anton Yelchin) thinks of himself as an ordinary guy with a talent for cooking at the small town Pico Mundo Grill and a beautiful girlfriend named Stormy Llewellyn (Addison Timlin).
However, Odd also has a gift of being able to communicate with souls of the dead. Sometimes these spirits seek justice for wrongs that were done to them, while other times they give Odd tips for solving crimes, which he passes on to local police chief Wyatt Porter (Willem Dafoe).
One day a mysterious man comes to town with a voracious appetite, a filing cabinet stuffed with information on the world’s worst killers and a pack of hyena-like ghosts following him wherever he goes.
Odd soon learns that Pico Mundo will face a great catastrophe within 24 hours. As evil descends under the hot desert sun, Odd struggles to avert a looming cataclysm with the aid of an unlikely community of helpers.
Catch the magic and mystery when Odd Thomas hits local cinemas on June 27.
