"This kind of power has to be invited…" Vertical Entertainment has debuted a new official US trailer for an indie horror thriller from New Zealand titled The Changeover, which is finally getting a release in the US almost two years after it first opened in NZ. Based on the novel by Margeret Mahy, the film is about a teen living with her mother and brother in a poor suburb on the edge of a partially demolished Christchurch. Laura is drawn into a supernatural battle with an ancient spirit who attacks Jacko, her brother, and slowly drains the life out of him as the spirit becomes ever younger. Laura discovers her true identity and the ability within her, and must harness it to save her brother's life. So it's kind of a superhero story mashed up with some horror. Starring Erana James, Timothy Spall, Melanie Lynskey, Lucy Lawless, Nicholas Galitzine, Kate Harcourt, Benji Purchase, Thomasin McKenzie, & Claire Van Beek. Worth a look.
