Director Damien Leone is back with his third addition to the Terrifier movie franchise, let’s just say don’t watch this movie alone and most definitely don’t watch this movie if you are easily squeamish and afraid of clowns.
You may have heard of these movies before, or you may have just heard about it due to the mass popularity it gained through TikTok for the genuine disgust and fear it has given the audience.
“Terrifier 3” follows the storyline of the previous movie. After surviving Art, the Clown’s Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother try to rebuild their lives during the holiday season although Art returns determined to ruin their Christmas spirit.
In all honesty you can walk into this movie not knowing the plot or having any acknowledgment about Art the Clown. It seemed like the gore was the focus of the movie, showcasing the vilest and boundary pushing gore that has been on the big screen. Each scene just seems to get more and more bloody showcasing the most brutal deaths that have played in the cinemas. The sounds of the film somehow even more gruesome than the visuals.
Personally, speaking I wouldn’t say that this movie is scary, it does send an eerie and chilling feeling down your spine when a suspenseful scene comes on screen. The word that I would use to describe “Terrifier 3” would be disgusting.
David Howard Thornton who famously plays the role as Art the Clown, has a silly but ominous feeling throughout the film. You can almost laugh at him until the very next scene where he brutally murders yet another victim. The scenes are so graphic that Thornton has stated one particular scene in “Terrifier 3” made him physically ill while filming.
The audience let out loud gasps while fans of the film let out almost a cheer for the clown, it was almost unsettling. Many people in the theater were even dressed up as Art showing their love for the movie. Art the clown is a fan favorite, his first appearance being in the 2008 short film “The 9th Circle” causing an uproar for the famous evil clown.
Whether you love Art the clown or hate him, this is defiantly a movie you’d want to be mentally prepared for.
