The Changeover

A teenage girl (Erana James) has to save her kid brother from the clutches of malevolent warlock Timothy Spall by becoming a witch, in this New Zealand made Twilight saga wannabe that has some solid performances and arty pretentions to recommend it. It is based on the 1984 young adult fantasy novel of the same name by Margaret Mahy.

Not an amazing film but definitely not a bad one either. I liked the plot as it was a bit original. It not scary but has it's creepy moments. Definitely worth the watch

When I saw the name Timothy Spall, I thought this was going to be great, surely such a great actor would only sign up to a great film right, wrong? Him apart it is a poor film, I've not read the book, but I'll judge the film based on what I've seen. Quite simply put, the ideas and plot are excellent, and rather original. What it lacked sadly, was any pace, urgency, tension or real threat, it's another so called horror movie that is advisable for people up to the age of fifteen. Spall is the only real positive, but he's wasted here. 4/10

I like witches, I liked the story, but that was wayyy too long of a movie. It was really boring and it saddens me a bit because this movie had a lot of potential.

This film legit reviewers/ratings probably average to 2 out of ten stars after discounting shill reviews. It is narrative train wreck. It is also a significant, in fact profound dumbing down and making "safe" of what was a great teen novel.
