Greetings from the other side. I didn't know anything about the books, I just took a chance on this movie while scanning. It was under the name "Dark Angel" for some reason. A mistake perhaps.
First thing I noticed was how terrible the acting was in this movie. Jason Priestly was so bad that it confused me. I know he can act, so I couldn't understand why it appeared to be his first time in front of a camera. The grandmother was terrible as well.
Anneliese Basso was one of the few actors that did well, but off at times.
The movie seems cheaply made and after watching about half of the movie, I'm bored and have no motivation to watch any further.
Going by the other reviews, the books are excellent, so if you are interested in this story, I would read the books and avoid this movie completely.
