Odd Thomas (2013)
Perfect Oddness
We love the Odd Thomas Books so finding the movie was a huge treat! The movie follows the book exactly! I am surprised this movie wasn't better advertised. Great find! Watch it, even if you have not read the books, it may inspire you to read the others. I really hope they make more movies. The movie does seem a bit lower budget. Like a made for TV movie, but it has a great cast, and as I said it follows the books. They picked the perfect actor to play Odd. They also did a great job of bringing Pico Mundo to life. It all feels so much like the places described in the books. The movie has as much comedy, romance, action and horror as the books!

The actual full explanation
OK, considering this will be a series of movies, think like a movie writers and what will keep people interested and the movie makes perfect sense. Would you watch a trilogy about a crazy junkie, me either.
Here's what happened;
Abigail, the young girl is a bio-experiment, she requires those shots to survive. The "father" and maid are her caretakers. Her strange behavior, shots and hat are explained by the fact that she is a lab experiment. Her "father", who she never once calls dad, is just a caretaker, he gives her shots, and records her vitals on his laptop. He has no reason to show her compassion, it's not his daughter, and he's not molesting her.
Maggie is from the future. In the future, just like today, songs are REMAKES of older songs. So considering she said that not everybody has access to technology tells us that it's possible someone in the future re-sang the Cranberries song. She wants to see her mother (Abigail) because she knows that to avert disaster, and starvation in the world she has to destroy her mother (and thus herself) which is why she tells her followers she will have to leave them soon. She is preparing her followers in case she fails in avoiding disaster.
The DOJ agent is from the future, she isn't sweeping her room for bugs, she is running water to cleanse herself of germs, like what is done to the followers, she is shutting off the heat and A/C to prevent germ filled air from flowing into the room, and in her gift box was a vile, perhaps she is giving herself shots to survive in the past.
At the end the DOJ agent is returning Maggie to the future which is why we see the ultra bright light.

Turn of the screw
I agree this movie can be a little confusing but if you love "The turn of the screw", then this movie will make perfect sense and you'll most likely love it. I do agree, it's not a movie for everyone and if you compare it to todays horror standards, it won't hold up. Just to give anyone who hasn't seen it an idea of what the movie is like, imagine a classic black and white horror movie that was remade by David Lynch (Lost Highway). It's a bit creepy, often makes no sense, you get the feeling that your simply watching a person lose their mind, but you're watching it from their point of view. Thats the best way I can think to describe it. Enjoy!
