A mysterious virus, nicknamed Medusa, is spreading around Japan, turning its victims into stone. Given the impossibility of finding an immediate cure, the government opts for cryopreserving a select group of patients until they come up with a solution. Kasumi, one of the chosen ones, has been asleep for years and her awakening, more than a bed of roses, is a bed of thorns, and happens in the midst of total chaos where monstrous creatures lie in wait all around. Based on Yuji Iwahara's manga by the same name, King of Thorn puts animated images to a sensational cross between Aliens and the series Lost. Enigmatic and highly explosive.

| User ReviewMirco WWell, let's hope it's like the manga~! ^^ |
| User Reviewmike kWow this movie is absolutely AMAZING! loved the animation, OST, story line is incredible and full of twists and turns. I recommend this epic adventure to all anime lovers out there! A must see masterpiece. |
| User ReviewRazvan Florentin PLa recomiendo... muy buena trama, aunque confusa... pero vale la pena... |
| User ReviewGreg Sthis was a great movie! so much mystery and excitement :) |
| User ReviewAlex CA very good movie. Sunrise seldom disappoints. The plot twists are pretty good, i had a moment of "OH!! WAIT!!! Ive figured it out!!!" Just before the big reveal which is satisfying. |
| User ReviewJally JGore mais bà (C)nà (C)ficiant d'une très bonne rà (C)alisation, un très bon film de sci-fi avec un scà (C)nario bien tirà (C) par les cheveux. Ne connaissant le manga que par le nom, je savais juste qu'il s'agissait d'un film catastrophe sur fond de monstres ... donc pas une grosse attente à (C)tant donnà (C) que l'animation japonaise en est pleins. Mais ici on passe un agrà (C)able moment et même le non amateur du genre que je suis à bien apprà (C)cià (C) :D |
| User ReviewMithun GAlthough this movie has its dragging moments, and confusing moments, I enjoyed this film. The post apolapytic survival horror messhed with monsters in a castle of thorns was very original to say the least. The film kept me interested, was unpredictable and really had some dark and eerie moments that even had me cringing. The movie is like jurassic park, meets anime and sleeping beauty. |
| User ReviewvisitorQ SGoed verhaal met een leuk plot. wel soms verwarrend met het aantal flash-backs... |
| User ReviewWilliam WQuite imaginative story but the animation is just so-so. A bit like a role play action game but the last part is quite dramatic. |
| User ReviewKevin KAn interesting apocalyptic plot, with a last ditch resort kind of effort to save humanity. The effort turns into a conspiracy that twists and turns at every single opportunity, turning it into a huge web of complication. |
