Jack The Giant Killer (2013) 5/10

Starring : Jane March, Jamie Atkins, Harry Dyer, Vicki Glover, Ben Cross
Director : Mark Atkins
Running Time : 88 mins

Jack (Atkins) discovers that his father Newald (Dyer) – who disappeared before he was born – has been trapped in a flying castle that appears once a year. For him, only 19 days have passed, when in reality it has been 19 years. But trouble looms when the two discover that, having killed the giant that lives in the castle, a host of prehistoric beasts are attempting to invade Earth.

The special effects and most of the acting in this movie are pretty bad, but I’ll be honest and say that I’ve seen worse. The plot is more original than I thought it would be and comes across like an episode of Doctor Who more than the fairy tale on which it is based. If you can get passed the hammy acting and terrible effects, then you might actually find something to enjoy in this family flick.
