The Reign of Queen Ginnarra

A great and epic dark fantasy flick with a lot of twists & turns not for the faint of heart.

The fight sequences were well choreographed and pretty awesome to watch and the special effects were great

I loved everyones performance in this as they all did a great job and especially Megans cold and dark performance of Queen Ginarra made me shiver with fear but in a good way.

The armour and props also impressed me.

The only issues I had was the use of AI scenery, if it had been narrowed down it would have had a 10/10.

Other than that I would heavily recommend this dark fantasy film to everyone.

"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.

A great epic film in typical style from Lawrie Brewster, British Horror Studio effortlessly create a world and environment for these fantasy epics that draws you in, a world where power matters over morals. Fighting, dragons, destruction and tragedy, its all on the screen.

As ever Megan Tremethick is mesmerising, playing it deadpan but i actually saw anger in the eyes at the same time, without pity, I have experienced pure evil in a film!

This great team continues to give the world great films and Im especially looking forward to their Amicus production 'In The Grip Of Terror' the fist Amicus film in 48 years! Exciting times.

After the slaying of his father, the king, Prince Eldoran (Andrew Gourlay)flees his kingdom.

The latter is now under the control of his sister Queen Ginnarra (Megan Tremethick), and through her, dark forces.

The Queen sends her brutal henchmen to torture and slowly kill her brother.

Although the Prince survives the attacks, he suffers betrayals as he re-enters his father's kingdom to free it from his sister.

Certainly more epic than director Laurie Brewster and main star Megan Tremethick's 2024 comedic 'Slave and the Sorceror', 'Queen Ginnarra' doesn't have the same cathartic resolution.

The special effects are on a par with television/cinema offerings.

The acting, especially the fight scenes are quite believable.

It's evident that a lot of time and effort has been devoted to the film by everyone involved.

"The Reign of Queen Ginnarra" is an ambitious and visually striking dark fantasy epic that skillfully blends medieval intrigue with cosmic horror, delivering a bold, brooding experience for fans of richly atmospheric storytelling. Director Lawrie Brewster conjures a mythic world, steeped in dread and divine delusion, where the line between prophecy and madness blurs.

Megan Tremethick gives a standout performance as Queen Ginnarra - an enigmatic ruler whose celestial visions and unyielding resolve slowly unravel into a dangerous obsession. Her performance is a compelling mix of regal presence and emotional fragility, capturing the queen's conviction while exposing the vulnerability beneath.

With every measured glance and silken word, Tremethick brings life to a character who is both ethereal and terrifying - a monarch as mesmerising as she is merciless, shrouded in stillness, secrecy and sinister allure, making Ginnarra both tragic and formidable.

The supporting cast, particularly Andrew Gourlay as the exiled Prince Eldoran, provides a grounded counterbalance to Tremethick's commanding presence. Gourlay brings a quiet strength to his role, anchoring the narrative's more mythic elements with emotional depth.

Filmed on location at historic Scottish sites, including the hauntingly beautiful Dunfermline Abbey, the cinematography is both sumptuous and shadow-drenched, evoking a world that feels both majestic and in decay. The production design - steeped in ritualistic symbolism and medieval texture, is equally immersive, enriching the atmosphere of a kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin.

Though its deliberate pacing and introspective tone may prove challenging to some viewers, "The Reign of Queen Ginnarra" rewards those who surrender to its rhythm with a richly woven tale of power, prophecy, and obsession. It's a testament to what independent cinema can achieve when vision, performance, and atmosphere align - and offers a haunting showcase of Megan Tremethick's remarkable talent.
