Fallen is out today on DVD and we have enjoyed a fun film night with snacks and angelic accessories to celebrate its release. Based on Lauren Kate's bestselling YA romantic fantasy book, Fallen tells the story of troubled Luce Price who starts at Sword & Cross boarding school following a tragic incident that she took the blame for. At the school she meets moody Daniel Grigori, a fellow student that she feels a strange connection to. Luce slowly settles into life in her mysterious boarding school making a best friend in quirky Pennyweather who has access to the school records. She soon finds out the secrets of her past and discovers why Daniel feels so familiar to her.
This film is based on the first of a series of books, so it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, setting the seen for its sequel. It was an enjoyable watch with an exciting storyline that will appeal to fans of the YA fantasy romance genre. It features attractive, charismatic teens who hold dark secrets that date back across the centuries. It is atmospheric, moody and dangerous, with a backstory that features Heaven and Hell. The young cast members do a good job portraying the characters in the story and Joely Richardson plays the slightly terrifying and obsessed teacher Sofia. Kezia is 14 and she really enjoyed Fallen and is now reading the book. It is a great series for young teens to discover.
