My Guardian Angel

I thought this was a good movie. Reminiscent of Flowers in the Attic. It may take time, but it's worth it.

Don't bother with it, it's loaded with bad acting, boring dialogue, a predictable story, and overall a waste of time.

This is not worth being on any streaming services. Amazon Prime showed an IMDb review of 7.8 and I made the mistake of not double checking it.

A no-budget drama that takes an awfully long time to bring its supernatural undertones to the fore. Young Holly Jacobson gives an unexpectedly strong performance as the non-verbal autistic girl of abusive parents who appears to be haunted by her dead twin. Jacobson aside, the quality of the acting ranges from tolerable to pull-you-out-of-the-movie-and-slap-you-around-the-face bad and the lack of funds is apparent in every shot. The emotional pull of child abuse - even when inadequately explored - gives My Guardian Angel a kind of built-in emotional hold that is difficult to turn away from, but the pay-off really doesn't justify your time.

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

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....
