The Thorn

About This Movie

The Thorn, directed by Peter McWilliams, is this quirky, offbeat comedy that takes a rather irreverent look at Biblical tales through a series of vignettes. You’ve got characters like the Virgin Mary and a rather sleazy priest who brings a unique kind of humor—definitely not your typical Sunday school fare. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, which somehow adds to its charm, and the performances range from cheeky to downright absurd. It’s notable for its practical effects that show the era’s creative ambition, and the overall tone is lighthearted yet thought-provoking in a way. It really stands out for its boldness in handling such iconic figures in a comedic light, a mix of satire and silliness that you don't see often.
