I watch Queen Ginnarra at the Romford Horror Festival. I wanted to support independent film makers and having watched 'The Slave and the Sorcerer' last year, which was also directed by Lawrie Brester and starring Megan Tremethick and Stephen Kerr, I was keen to see what new work the team had brought out.
I was somewhat sceptical at first having seen the run time of 2 hours and 20 minutes, however that time flew by and there was never a dull moment
What struck me initially was what the team were able to do with the budget. It was of a much higher quality than I expected. Moreover, the acting was superb, played with earnestness. Megan Tremethick's performance was certainly a standout performance.
The movie centred around power, family, dragons and betrayal. None of the characters were one dimensional, all of them had many layers and able to portray strength juxtaposed with vulnerability.
For the budget they were able to pull off excellent choreographed fight scenes and superb animation was employed where the budget did not allow.
A movie I will defiantly watch again, and I would recommend to anyone who enjoys medieval fantasy epics.
