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.

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.

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.

Brilliant story that hits you right way, especially that it's delivered by such a great actors! Extremely dark, heavily inspired by Amicus/Hammer (any if you're a fan of these you will definitely enjoy this movie) yet very fresh and unique take on horror! I love how this movie has a great balance between borowing from genre classics in a way that they almost pay a tribute to horrors we all love and creating new, unique ideas.
Shots and scenes are simply beautiful, very artistic, like a gothic paintings.
Give this a watch , we have to support projects like this. British Horror Studio, thank you!
