Coming soon from filmmaker Douglas Schulze (The Dark Below, Hellmaster, Mimesis) is the indie horror movie Thorns, and Gruesome Magazine has debuted the official trailer this week.
Horror icon Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) makes an appearance in Thorns, and what’s interesting about this one is that it looks like a direct-to-video Hellraiser sequel from back in the day. The film is of course not actually connected to the franchise, but it seems to be a love letter to the long-running saga that made Doug Bradley a household name among horror fans.
In Thorns, “An ex-priest working for NASA is sent to investigate a remote observatory that went silent after receiving a mysterious radio signal from deep space. Upon arrival, he discovers the signal has opened a portal unleashing a thorned monster. The former priest must now summon his lost faith to stop the signal from jumpstarting the end of the world.”
“The film melds themes of religion and science within the framework of a classic ’80s-era monster movie,” Douglas Schulze tells Tony Timpone over at Gruesome Magazine.
He adds, “Thorns is ripe with physical makeup effects and plenty of gore.”
Thorns is looking to release sometime in late 2023. Watch the trailer below.
