Julia’s Brother: Julia, I thought I told you to stay away from — [Art kills him with the axe]
Chronology
Art the Clown is set to unleash chaos upon the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they sleep peacefully on Christmas Eve. Director Damien Leone has said that several major studios have expressed interest in financing this film based on the unexpected success of Terrifier 2 (2022), even without a completed script, but he has turned them all down because he is certain he would never let him film just the opening scene, which he describes as «very controversial.» Leone has commented that the only reason he can be so uncompromising in his depiction of horror and violence is because he finances his films independently, creates all the special effects himself to keep costs down, and doesn’t have a major studio breathing down his neck to make more. popular movie.. Mia mentions that the 5 year anniversary of the original massacre was coming up, but it happened on Halloween and this movie taking place on Christmas, 5 years later, would mean that the anniversary just passed 2 months ago..
Next up is Terrifier (2016)
There is an uncut version of the movie that runs 2 hours and 25 minutes with 5 additional scenes. A masterpiece written by Drew Fulk, Joe Occhiuti, Paul Wiley, Spencer Charnas, and Steve Sopchak, starring Ice Nine Kills and Shavo Odadjian. If you’re looking for gore, look no further! Terrifier 3 had all the gore we wanted!
However, to be honest, none of the kills topped the salt scene in Terrifier 2
Overall, I would say there is more death and gore than in the second movie, but none of the kills (even the main kill) were as over the top as the second movie. Another thing, half of the deaths are left up to your imagination, since half of them happen off screen or have already happened by the time the camera comes in. This was a huge disappointment, since a lot of the ‘major deaths’; they should have been shown because they were supposed to be emotional. Plot-wise, I think I liked the second film more because the pacing of that film was a bit off.
Ultimately, the last 20 minutes really let me down
Between the time jumps, Sienna’s storyline, and Art’s storyline, the pacing just wasn’t right. It also did very little to develop Art or Sienna’s story. It felt like there was a lot of free time between each death. You also never really build an emotional connection in this film with any of the characters besides Sienna.
Overall, I’d say Terrifier 2 was better
Almost none of the deaths were shown on screen, and believe me, those deaths should have been. Art the Clown, Pennywise, and Killer Klowns are just a few of the comical creatures that sent chills down our spines. Check out the scariest clowns to decorate your screen.
