Terrifier 2
Apparently people criticised the first Terrifier for lack of plot/narrative. Apparently the director was listening, because the sequel drops in a whole lot of plot, delivered by newspaper clippings, TV reports, and a whooole lot of people talking about Art the Clown (who is still silent, and very much not dead). The runtime is 2 hours and 18 minutes.
It felt like 5 hours. I looked at the progress bar when they got to the climax at the haunted carnival, and there was still 40 minutes left!
In case you couldn't tell, I was pretty bored by this. There's still some absolutely disgusting murders in it, but they're spread out pretty thin. Art is still the star of the show, but I don't need to know about his backstory thanks! He's a killer clown, that's enough!
Anyway, I didn't hate it. But the first one was better imo
6/10

For me Terrifier is a bad horror film. But I come from the perspective of that, when you show me gory details, that isn't particularly scary. Sure, it's a grindhouse B movie horror film, that's what you get. But, at times it felt like verging on a late night channel 5 soft core porno, without the sex. There was little to no plot, other than.. ah we're going to kill a bunch of women really grotesquely.

I dunno... I'd never call it a masterpiece or anything, but I enjoyed it for the gross out fun. The sequel just dilutes that with a lot of junk (though the characters are better tbf)

Yup, very much the same here. Although while I wasn't the only one laughing, I was definitely in the minority in the screening I was in. I think it was just me at my local cinema. To be fair there were only like 12 people in there tops. I did hear a couple leaving saying it was fantastic so at least I wasn't the only one who got it. It was the first movie I’ve ever seen where the audience all clapped at the end (except me). Was probably 30-40 people in there. They all got it. I didn’t clap as err it’s a bit weird. I would have if it was the premiere where the people who made the great movie were in the room.

My audience basically all clapped. Yeah it's a bit weird, but film festival atmosphere is a little different. They knew what kind of film they were watching.

Maybe when I was a kid something like bad taste was funny gross but porn torture gore some movies go for.
