Would be better as a tv show


After watching this I couldn't help but think it would have been better if this was made into a tv show, kind of like Buffy meets Odd. The tone of the movie was too quirky to be considered horror to me, and I felt like the storyline was muddled together and could be fleshed out better in a show. I hated the "satantic" cult sub-plot, but I did like Anton's acting. Anyone else think this could be a show?

Lots Of Dumb Ideas On These Messages blards, But This Is Actually A Good One. TV show of this flick wouldn't be better.

yes, a cable tv show like Dexter, True Blood, ect. The movie felt rushed and I wanted to know more about the bodachs.

From the opening I thought this was the pilot for a TV show. It has the look and most importantly the pacing of television. And I think it would be a good show, and a successful one, especially if billed as "Dean Koontz' Odd Thomas."

I agree, especially since there are so many books to get source material from. But alas, like so many awesome ideas people on this site have, it will probably never come to fruition.

it definitely had more of a made-for-tv movie than an actual theatrically-released movie.

I could see this being mashed up with the characters from John Dies at the End and made into a TV show.

would they retain their gilmore girls' dialogue, though?

The constant back and forward of words that make little to no sense? and/if when they do, it still makes little to no sense? Absolutely :D lol
