Mask of Thorn is a throwback to the classic 80 slashers from writer and director Mj Dixon, which has been selected to play at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival on Friday 19th January. I got chance to ask Mj a few questions about the continuing legacy of Thorn, his influences in horror and what else is coming in the ever expanding Mycho horror universe.
What can we expect from the film?
I guess it’s hard to say without giving too much away, but we usually try to take the classic slasher formula that the Mychoverse is built on and then turn it upside down and at least approach it from a very different angle. We’re not really interested in making the same film again and again, so it was important find a fresh way to tell the next part of the story. I guess the influences for the film were...

Writer/director Mj Dixon's Slasher House prequel, Legacy of Thorn, is working its way through post-production, and in advance of its first screening in London early next year, a teaser trailer and four new posters have arrived.
The film was shot over two weeks last summer in an abandoned high school in the northwest of England. Based on the oldest character in the Mycho Universe, Thorn is an all new independent feature length production from Mycho Entertainment Group. It harks back to classic slasher movies like Halloween and Friday the 13th but with the usual Mycho twist.
Legacy of Thorn stars Jade Wallis, Johnnie Russell, Craig Canning, and Jane Haslehurst with Aaron Jeffcoat, Stephanie Jezard, Evie Constanti, Anas Belarbi, and Richard Holloran as Thorn and Mem Ferda as Detective Cyphers.

Slasher House director, Mj Dixon, has teamed up with UK producers Mem Ferda and Anna McCarthy on a terrifying project that aims to bring an all new icon of fright to the screen.
Legacy of Thorn will raise an urban legend from the grave to haunt a girl with a secret past in a story that I'm hearing harkens back to to the halcyon days of Barker and Craven!
"Mj Dixon's talent for the horror genre is undeniable," said producer Mem Ferda, who will also star in the film. "Having watched his remarkable feature Slasher House, it is crystal clear to me that he has tapped into the vein of mainstream horror and is on a direct path to becoming the next Craven, Carpenter or Cronenberg."

Here at Cinema Blend, we pay a lot of attention to films like Man of Steel and The Hangover Part III, which might both turn out to be really great films, but will probably be just okay flicks that cost a lot of money to make a lot of money. There are a lot of expectations involved with these films, and promotional campaigns that only end when the films have long since been released on DVD and Blu-ray. But for a no frills horror flick like Slasher House, the expectations don.t even exist enough to be low. As such, we can just stand back and gleefully show you guys the above U.S. trailer in all of its ridiculously gory glory, courtesy of Dread Central, and then we can move on with our lives. The U.K. production, written and directed by Mj Dixon, will be releasing there on...
