[The Changeover] offer a gothic-fantasy love element that will keep tween girls engaged; However, the problem is that.. it feels like a pale imitation. What, back in the day, would have felt mysterious, new and exciting, just feels rather dated now
the romance gets in the way somewhat but this is a good, solid thriller. The tension is kept high throughout and Erana James makes an impressive debut while Timothy Spall gives a nightmare-inducing performance as the sinister Carmody Braque
despite a low budget, Stuart McKenzie and co-director Miranda Harcourt have managed to produce a film that looks terrific, if rather subdued and grey, and the performances across the board are excellent
