The Wee Review : Terrifier 2 (The Wee Review)

Gargantuan grindhouse slasher is almost too much of a good thing · Director: Damien Leone · Country: USA · Year: 2022 · Length: 138 mins.

After killing the morgue attendant, he sets his sights on sister and brother Sienna and Jonathan ( [Lauren LaVera](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8367841/?ref_=tt_cl_t_2) and [Elliott Fullam](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9869437/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0)). [Damien Leone](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2093171/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0)‘s [Terrifier](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4281724/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk1) has become something of a cause célèbre since it’s release in 2016. The gore will undoubtedly remain the main attraction, but with a protagonist like Sienna Terrifier 2 is a more satisfying watch than its predecessor. Be warned however, while the reports of fans swooning like a Georgian debutante with a tight corset may be exaggerated for hype, it’s still for the strongest stomachs only. With the world of Art opened up however, he’s an even scarier prospect. [David Howard Thornton](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7476686/)) returns to life after his apparent suicide. In Terrifier 2, Art is much more of an equal-opportunities offender, although there is one instance of sickeningly protracted, calculated brutality against one young woman that feels jarringly nasty compared to the heightened, carnivalesque tone of the rest of the film. Weirdly however, it also forces the viewer to see the victim as an actual human being – far from common in the slasher genre – but one imagines this wasn’t Leone’s intention as he, literally, rubs salt in the wounds. Here, the writer and director begins to tease at an extended mythology, even though by the end of its gruelling runtime it’s still fairly unclear what’s actually going on. What he’s achieved with a still tiny budget of $250,000 is impressive. [Terrifier 2 ](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10403420/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0)is bigger, bloodier, and much, much longer. Made on a shoestring budget of $35,000, it took the slasher film to the goriest of heights (or depths), and in its sadistic antagonist [Art the Clown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_the_Clown) came the first villain in a long time that may just chance of ending up in the pantheon.

Brutal new 2.5 hour horror movie Terrifier 2 has been branded as 'disturbing' and caused viewers to vomit, faint and run from the cinema.

So much chaos. 2022 has been solidified as the greatest year in horror movie history."

Meet David Howard Thornton, the nightmarish killer clown from ... (Alternative Press)

David Howard Thornton explores the hype surrounding Terrifier 2 and becoming a horror icon. He also reveals the music Art the Clown would listen to.

You can find inspiration in all kinds of ways, and a lot of my inspiration didn’t even come from horror but actually came from comedies. She was living in a very religious group home and was so excited to show the movie to her housemates, and I was like, “Oh Vanda, you might not want to do that. It’s very violent and gory.” I told her she wouldn’t be able to handle it, and she was like, “Oh, it’s OK. That’s something that has been lacking in a lot of horror movies over the last 15-20 years, but we were like, “Let’s give the audience what they want to see again, take risks and let’s stop trying to kowtow to what the studio executives want” — and that’s what we did. Even with history, you can find inspiration, and Damien even found ideas for some of the kills from actual historical events. I understand the character and can turn it on and off at a rapid pace. Art has come back from the dead [since the first film], and I figured he didn’t realize he was going to come back from the dead, so he’s gonna be pretty impressed with that. The Terrifier franchise is most definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you can stomach the terror, it's an entertaining way to kill a couple of hours. With that being said, I definitely wanted to do new things with the character this time around. It's no surprise that the character has gone on to be heralded as one of the next great horror icons, joining a long list of notable villains ranging from As soon as the character is living in my head, I can just access it. I don’t know if I can reveal spoilers, but there is a big kill in the movie, and when we finished that scene, which took a week to film, it was truly something else.

The Ending Of Terrifier 2 Explained - Looper (Looper)

Art the Clown is back in Terrifier 2, which packs more thematic explorations of violence than the first film into its surprisingly massive runtime.

Leone says that he has a structure in mind for the third film and wants to build a narrative across three films. And later in the movie when she's stabbed by Art with the same sword, she falls into a tank of water on the set that she saw in her dream, but now everyone is dead and mutilated. It's an absolutely wild sequence that is nearly impossible to make sense of, but our understanding is that Victoria has become linked to Art in a similar way that The Little Pale Girl has, only Victoria is still living. The mid-credits scene of "Terrifier 2" doesn't involve Sienna or her family, and instead re-centers on Victoria Heyes, who has been confined to a mental hospital after she attacked the talk show host who insulted her. But the movie is also interested in the way that the news media fixates on and often exploits real life tragedies. But we know that her dad has something to do with the clown, and with her ability to defeat him. The first is that her father's tumor caused him to see beyond human reality and see two warring eternal entities, one evil (Art) and one good (the character that Sienna embodies), this would then allow for the possibility that the evil entity has somehow taken over her father's essence. Sienna's dream sequence near the start of "Terrifier 2" may be one of the longest dream sequences in any horror movie (or any movie at all). The reason Sienna and Jonathan can see her and others can't, is undoubtedly due to the strange link that they have with Art that we'll talk about more in a moment. She says that Sienna and Jonathan's father struggled with mental illness late in his life as the result of a fatal brain tumor, and that the tumor caused him to have terrifying visions. It also helps that the attention paid to the "Miles County Massacre" in "Terrifer 2" is ultimately more thematically important than narratively. "Terrifier 2" greatly expands the mythology of Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) and introduces a new main character in Sienna (Lauren LaVera), who has a mysterious connection to the killer harlequin.

Whether you prefer gore, ghosts or demonic children, we've got a film for you.

Though it takes some time for some of the more obvious ‘horror’ elements of the film to appear, they do come, and when they do they’re terrifying. The film stars Toni Collette as a mother who goes slowly mad, and it cleverly plays on ideas around inherited trauma. Nicolas Pesce’s directorial debut lingers in the mind as it interrogates the dark side of human nature. There’s blood and an axe-wielding chase scene, but it’s the psychological elements of the film that make it truly scary. He takes a liking to one of the women who show up, Asami, and so pursues her. Still filmed in his unique style, it tells the story of an American schoolgirl who is sent to a Swiss boarding school. Because it’s filmed in its entirety through a hand-held camcorder (the premise is that the film is recovered footage) it’s all unbearably realistic. But fear not - its familiarity won’t reduce its ability to scare the living daylights out of you. Like so many horror films, it follows a group of friends who get slowly picked off by the lunatic. Here is our round-up of ten of the most frightening films of all time. But don’t be perturbed - this is the real deal, so get ready to be terrified. It’s basically one big Christian nightmare as the mother tries to save her demonically possessed daughter using exorcisms with the help of Catholic priests.

Fan Demand Brings Brutal Slasher 'Terrifier 2' Back to Theaters This ... (Collider.com)

Audiences are raving about Damien Leone's slasher sequel Terrifier 2, so much so that the film's theatrical run is getting an extension this weekend.

The massive success of Terrifier 2 is horror movie history in the making and shows that indie filmmakers are the true future of cinema. Terrifier 2 earned $400 thousand dollars in just its first night in theaters and ended up as number 10 at the weekend box office.

Clocking in at a whopping 2 hours and 18 minutes, Terrifier 2 is the ultimate homage to the 80s slasher, delivering a graphically violent yet grotesquely hilarious film that follows the now-iconic horror villain Art the Clown as he stalks a troubled teen girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.
