I didn't read the books beforehand, so for me the casting felt absolutely perfect! I love to see small-budget movies just because they introduce fresh faces, and this one didn't disappoint at all!

That being said, I understand this was the director's first feature directorial debut, so many things need polishing if she plans to direct the future installments too. The transition and backstory of the main characters could've been built better, the attraction felt rushed and not spontaneous. The action-scenes need to feel more realistic. However, kudos to the director for so many critical things like action and CGI in her first feature project.

Acting-wise, I believe Liam is better than Anna. Nonetheless, for acting in a movie with lots of action sequences, they simply needed more rehearsal and clarity of their respective characters.

Lastly, this is a passionflix production, so director, could you please give us more of that amazing chemistry? I felt I couldn't get enough of these two!!

Overall, not the best passionflix production, but definitely one of the good ones :)

Like I appreciate it stayed true to the books, and stuff but like. If you didn't read the books you'd be lost on what is going on in many scenes. And like some scenes from the book were great but rushed in the film that it was like, you should've just cut that scene out and spent more time on more important scenes. Also. The acting. I'm sorry. I wanted to love it. But it was so brutal and cheesy. And I've seen some of these actors in other things before so like nothing against the actors. But. I really tried.... I did sort of like it.... I liked Ivy and Ren.
