With their father dead and their mother working to support them, 16-year-old Laura is the main protector for her beloved four-year-old brother Jacko. After encountering an unsettling old junk-peddler (Timothy Spall), Jacko becomes ill. As Jacko gets sicker, the peddler seems to grow younger. Laura, who has always had premonitions, can foretell danger. She knows what is happening - something has taken over Jacko and is feeding on him, but nobody believes her. Except Sorenson, a handsome fellow student who also possesses strange gifts. In order to save Jacko, Laura must undergo The Changeover, a process that will either unleash her inner powers and take her to new levels of being or kill her and doom Jacko to a hideous fate. A gripping supernatural thriller, The Changeover relies as deeply on the strength of family as it does on spells and rituals. The war between good and evil has begun, and Laura will risk everything to protect the ones she loves. (Cleveland International Film Festival)

englanti I indulge in New Zealand films only occasionally, but when I do, it's always worth it. Their mentality is different after all, and of course, their film industry is not only alive with export fantasy series and movies the way it used to be. This ghost story is an adaptation of a local author specializing in children's and teen books, Margaret Mahy. Years ago, she already celebrated success with the series Maddigan's Quest with Rose McIver. The film The Changeover is solidly thrilling and mysterious entertainment, and the adult roles feature the queens of New Zealand film, Melanie Lynskey and Lucy Lawless. So if you're in the mood for something else in the Kiwi style (set in the city of Christchurch on the South Island), go for it. ()
