There should be a separate genre heading for this film: time-wasting droopy fantasy. Go to Full Review

It's not Donnie Darko, but it may delight the nerdie tween weirdo in your life. Go to Full Review

I Kill Giants is a fantasy, a beautiful allegory of growing up “different” and a deft handling of a storyline that could have been either too cute, or far too adult. Go to Full Review

With an imaginative premise framing a poignant tale of acceptance, the film is utterly delightful. Go to Full Review
Dan Tabor Cinapse 05/29/2020
I Kill Giants is a different kind of comic book movie, one that has a heart and soul missing from the current box office fodder. I adored everything about this film and found its complex dream-like narrative poignant as well as refreshing. Go to Full Review

Anonymous P 5d An odd film that deals with the manifestations of a current traumatic experience of the lead character. A bit slow at times, but has a certain appeal due to the subject matter. One really has to stay until the end to grasp the internal conflicts and intrinsic nature of the film. Rewarding and humanizing take on how coping with an emotional loss could be. See more Tygari D Oct 1 this was an intresting try at a fantasy mixed in modern times that fell flat. I dont recomend this film. but if you love fantasy movies you can give it a try. See more Anderson O @Platinum2027 Jun 23 A Great film of grounded and fantasy escapism through mental health and psychological struggle of a young girl and family. I kill Giants is raw with emotion as a family is dealing with after effects of cancer claiming a dear family member. A good standout and rarity in the time of Comicbook adaptions and superhero movies. See more 11/05/2024 To find this to be an epic movie, one must believe more than what can be seen with one's two eyes. See more Jay A 10/29/2024 Not truly horror. Leaves you guessing if it's fake or not, but of course it is. Sad movie, but really gives you appreciation of life. See more Sam S 06/26/2024 I had not heard of this but turned it on about halfway through its showing on tv. Had to go back and see the beginning once i finished it. The symbolism is very deep, i can understand why some people dont like it. I thought it was fantastic and very original. See more Read all reviews
