Bethany Lovell (Eve Kathryn Oliver) has struggled to fit in her whole life. Between her over-bearing parents and her odd behaviour, she has always felt like she was on the outside. That is until Avondale's popular clique kidnap her for a surprise birthday party to celebrate her sweet sixteen. What they don't realise is that Bethany is now the target of the urban legend known as 'Thorn' and tonight he has returned for her and nothing will stand in his way, as the Bloodletting Behemoth cuts his way through the small town in search of his latest victim and only one person can stop him.

Low budget 80s-style slasher - Mask of Thorn review by NP

Spoiler Alert
01/05/2021

I usually try to go into films without knowing anything about them, but afterwards it is often interesting to find out more about their production.

‘The Mask of Thorn’ is the second part of a trilogy. This concerns perceived do-gooder Bethany Lovell (Eve Kathryn Oliver), who suffers from suspiciously overbearing parents and an inability to fit in with her schoolmates.

To add to her troubles, the mysterious Thorn turns up to pursue her. Nice camerawork and lighting don’t disguise the fact that he’s an actor (Atticus Machiavellian – really?) in a mask (of Thorn, presumably, which is fair enough). He’s even been given glowing eyes to make him more frightening. What really sells him, apart from his predilection for violence and killing (often in the same manner) is the sound design. Guttural breathing and snarling has rarely sounded so meaty.

Some acting is dire, some not so bad - there’s a character in a horrendous 70s wig (this is set in the 80s). Conversely, my favourite character is foul-mouthed Julia (Lydia Cashman), whose line-up of expletives is wonderful.

For anyone who criticises the clearly tiny budget on display, MJ Dixon (the director responsible for the enjoyable ‘Haunting of Molly Bannister’ and ‘Cleaver: Killer Clown’) productions are a labour of love, financed by himself and fanbase crowdfunding enterprises. While the end result doesn’t always match the admirable intent, it certainly has moments of interest and effectiveness. My score is 6 out of 10.
