Delicious
—Thorn was designed with so much innovation. We weren’t told much about the characters, their names weren’t even mentioned; yet, we were quickly drawn into a familiar atmosphere.
Many of us have certainly heard worrisome sounds or screams coming from a neighbor’s place and at that moment, the question in our mind “to interfere or not to interfere?”
Thorn gave us this illustration; the neighbors meant well and quite frankly we were siding with all of them. The message addressed at the end (no spoiler intended 🤐) was truly gut-wrenching
—The actors sold us a story and we bought it!
—The dark color palette and lighting worked in great harmony to bring out a thrilling sensation

Bland
