My Guardian Angel

Storyline could have had potential, but this film is just bad, apart from the kids, the acting was so bad it was totally cringy. Terrible, actually the worst acting I have ever seen, feel sorry for the girl to have been in a movie with such bad adult actors. The mother is just a bad panto actress, the storyline equally bad in parts. For example SEN teacher pretending to be headteacher on a phone call, the SEN teacher had a foreign accent. Later in the film she admits "I dont even sound like you!" Really??? Did they make this up as they went along? Was going to switch the film off half way through. I even though it was baddly dubbed in the beginning, but then realised these are English actors. Worst film I watched in a long time, very surprised some good rating on here....

I wanted to be positive about this because the story is solid.

However.

The cast are terrible - specifically Maria Figgins as mother, Petra Bryant as Elena and Adrian Annis as father. I've genuinely watched this film at least 10 times and it still astounds me any of the cast were considered able to act these parts. Whilst I have highlighted a select few, nobody in this film should consider acting as a career - there is greater talent watching adverts for Oak Furniture Land, with a mango oak coffee table deserving of a best supporting actor nomination for the performances seen in this film.

By all means watch this film, just be prepared for something that is an embarrassment to British film

I agree with some of the reviews when it comes to the acting of the parents.... you definitely want The parents to die watching this movie. And, I felt there was something lacking in the middle when it came to the voodoo. Maybe the writer didn't want it to be too magical. I did find myself feeling what Hannah was going through throughout the movie. And I found myself hating the Primary teacher for being so ignorant. Yes, The beginning is slow, it needs to be slow so you can get into the feeling that the writer intended for you to feel. Be patient, it's worth it to see the ending for its revenge. .

I guess overall I'd rate this a 3.7 or so. But, OMG! The abuse her parents put the poor autistic girl through was terrible, but u just vouldnt look away! In the different abuse scenes? YOU BELIEVED IT! YOU WERE RIGHT THERE WITH HER EXPERIENCING THE PAIN AND TERROR!! Not since The Exorcist have I seen an actress hit her part dead on! Anybody that knows of an autistic xhild, can relate! Ms. HIill is going places in the acting biz!

This British T. V movie is good in parts and the young girl is played very well, by a young actress. Some of the adult performances are hit and miss (at best). The story to its credit keeps you watching, where some much higher productions loose the interest.
