An homage to films including Hellraiser, The Thing, Alien, and The Exorcist, upcoming horror movie Thorns is said to be “ripe with physical makeup effects and plenty of gore,” and Bloody Disgusting has been provided with a bloody exclusive clip this week.
From director Douglas Schulze (The Dark Below, Hellmaster, Mimesis), Thorns features horror icon Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), said to be playing a “mysterious archbishop.”
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.”
Additionally, Dark Planet Releasing has announced the theatrical release of Thorns, in collaboration with Emagine Entertainment, B&b Theatres, Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas, and MetaMedia.

David Emge, whose brief acting career included a performance that would become iconic to horror fans – he played the doomed pilot-turned-zombie in George Romero’s 1978 Dawn of the Dead – died January 20 at the West River Health Campus in Evansville, Indiana. He was 77.
His death was announced by his family to the Evansville Courier & Press. A cause of death was not disclosed.
Born September 9, 1946 in Evansville, Emge began his acting career at the Pittsburgh Playhouse in 1971, landing a small role in the lowbrow 1976 sex comedy The Liberation Of Cherry Jankowski (a.k.a. The Booby Hatch) before moving first to Washington, D.C., where he performed in dinner theater, and then to New York City, where Romero spotted him working as a chef.
Impressed, Romero cast Emge as helicopter pilot Stephen “Flyboy” Andrews, an accident-prone but well-meaning news pilot who escapes the undead apocalypse to find safety with a few...

Known to horror fans for playing Stephen ‘Flyboy’ Andrews in George A. Romero’s horror classic Dawn of the Dead, actor David Michael Emge has passed away at the age of 77. Emge passed on Saturday, January 20 at the West River Health Campus in Evansville, Indiana.
David Emge’s ‘Flyboy’ was one of the main characters in Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, the pilot for the Wgon-tv station who ends up trapped in a mall during the zombie apocalypse. ‘Flyboy’ eventually becomes a zombie himself later in the movie, and Emge’s performance ensured that ‘Flyboy Zombie’ has endured as one of the most iconic movie zombies of all time.
David Emge made a few more stops in the horror genre in the wake of 1978’s Dawn, also appearing in the horror movies Basket Case 2 (1990) and Hellmaster (1992).

Coming soon from filmmaker Douglas Schulze (The Dark Below, Hellmaster, Mimesis), Thorns immediately caught our attention last year, and Fangoria now shares some fresh imagery.
Schulze tells Fangoria, “The intention was to make a ‘monster’ movie as a kind of homage to the great horror cinema of the ’70s and ’80s. John Carpenter’s The Thing, Ridley Scott’s Alien, William Friedkin’s The Exorcist and, of course, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser were all inspiring.”
On that note, horror icon Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) makes an appearance in Thorns, and these new images give us our first look at Bradley’s character, a “mysterious archbishop.”

*there are spoilers here. Director: Douglas Schulze. Writers: Douglas Schulze and Joshua Wagner. Cast: Allen Maldonado, Sid Haig, Lauren Mae Shafer, Courtney Gains, Taylor Piedmonte, David G.B. Brown, Jana Thompson, and Gavin Grazer. Douglas Schulze's (Hellmaster) latest horror feature is titled Mimesis. Mimesis simply means imitation. In this film, Mimesis is defined as life imitating art. Schulze manages to introduce a social message amongst all of the cannibalism, eye gougings and pitchfork murders. This message involves media and its portrayal of violence and its relation to real life violence. This message is certainly relevant now, but Mimesis is also an entertaining outing. The film is clever and the conflict is well written and well disguised. The film's story initially follows Duane (Allen Maldonado) and Russell (Taylor Piedmonte). These two are friends and they head off to a horror convention. Here, they meet the raccoon eyed Judith (Lauren Mae Shafer), who.
