A true gem of independent cinema!! 🎬

I watched this film at the Romford Horror Film Festival. It is truly epic in scale yet it is grounded in the terrifying prospect of the power of amoral, indifferent gods being used to buttress tyranny. This is all very pertinent to the times that we currently live in which shocks us daily with it's increasingly naked exercise of power.

Particular credit must go to Megan Tremethick for her chilling yet magnetic performance as the titular queen. Her presence holds the film together as she compells you to stare every further into the dark heart of her will to power. I found that the film stayed with me for days after I finished watching it.

The story of the rise and fall of a truly evil tyrannical monarch. Queen Ginnarra rules over a land stolen from her father after he is killed in battle. Her brother Prince Elderon has been banished from the kingdom on pain of death. What follows is Elderon's quest to find help to remove his sister from the throne. Ginnarra 'who has help from the malevolent Elder Gods to rule her subjects with an iron fist is sending her minions out to hunt Elderon down.

Produced by The British Horror Studio and Hex Studios this is an impressive epic made in Scotland

The cast all put in excellent performances ,especially Megan Tremethick as Ginnerra. The Queen is a truly evil character and Megan plays her as an unemotional but ruthless woman with a white face reminiscent of an Elizabethan noblewomen.

She says very little, but you feel the power raging from her presence .She orders death and destruction without emotion or remorse.

Dorian Todd is very good as Raemin ,the son of the Queen who seems to relish the pain he inflicts on the populace ,he seems to be like Mordred to Ginnarras Morgana if this were based on Arthurian legend.

Andrew Gourley puts in a lot of emotion as Elderon ,the Queens brother as he desperately looks for help around the ravaged kingdom. He is a broken man after seeing his father die and is wracked by guilt . The supporting players especially Sam Barkley, Shadi El Dah,Stephen Kerr, Stephen Corrall,Adam Barnett and Chris Capaldi all stand out as well.

The film uses its locations very well (especially a beautiful cathedral for the Queens throne room)and enhancing some scenes with well done CGI that includes a massive city, rubble strewn villages and three Dragons.

The fight choreography is also impressive ,especially the fight between two main characters.

Written by Sarah Daly and Director Lawrie Brewster this really is an impressive epic film. Produced on a budget that (I assume)wouldn't even pay a quarter of the catering of a Hollywood film. Lawrie and Sarah(who is also the co producer)have brought to the screen a British film that has not been seen in more decades than I care to mention.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something out of the mainstream. A film made with a love for a genre of film that you just dont see now.

"Queen Ginnarra" is a captivating film that beautifully weaves together themes of greed resilience, and the pursuit of power From the moment the credits roll, viewers are drawn into the rich tapestry of Ginnarra's world, where the stunning cinematography and vibrant horrors create an immersive experience.

The lead performance is nothing short of mesmerizing, bringing depth and authenticity to the character. The supporting cast shines as well, with each actor contributing to the film's traumatic weight.

One of the standout aspects of "Queen Ginnarra" is its ability to inspire. The story of a young woman overcoming obstacles through murder.
