The Changeover

AroView: Maragret Mahy’s beloved fantasy romance novel is translated into a post-earthquake Christchurch setting, and marks an impressive debut from actress Erana James as the misunderstood teen with supernatural powers.

With the influence of teen fantasy heavyweights such as the TWILIGHT franchise ever apparent, this is definitely a genre-conforming exercise targeted squarely at the young adult market, but is buoyed by powerful acting performances, an excellent script and unique atmosphere.
