Quotes
Laura Chant: [narrating] I don't believe in fairy tales. The real world is much stranger than that. I feel in my bones when something bad is going to happen. I can't explain it. It was something I was born with. Like another sense.
Laura Chant: The earthquake broke our city. It broke our family too.

New Zealand's 'The Changeover' is a character-driven frightfest aimed at Young Adults

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.
