We’ve got more images from the film that’s now beginning its festival tour.
Following its premiere late last month at London’s FrightFest, THORNS will be playing several other major European film festivals, with a U.S. fest debut to take place later this fall. The movie, which we previously reported on here and here, was written and directed by Douglas Schulze (THE DARK BELOW, MIMESIS) and stars Jon Bennett, Cassandra Schomer, Bo Shumaker, Elly Schulze and HELLRAISER icon Doug Bradley, with makeup effects by Daniel Phillips. The synopsis: “The story centers on an ex-priest [Bennett] working for NASA who is sent to investigate a remote observatory that went silent after receiving a radio signal from deep space. Upon arrival, he discovers the signal has set in motion the biblical end of times. The former priest must now summon his lost faith to stop the signal from spreading hell on Earth.”
