I love Damien Leone’s commitment to indie filmmaking and his unapologetic approach to gonzo horror, and even giving the second film a 4/5 I do feel a co-writer may help in terms of narrative structure that can cohesively communicate Leone’s story and character elements (because I am engaged with Siena’s storyline and her connection with Art). But I’m so happy with the immense success Leone, Thorton, LaVera and company are enjoying by tackling a niche horror corner that is void of corporate hands and that audiences are embracing this. Instead of $200 million Joker sequels where artists get $20 million a piece, we need to allow the Leone’s of the world to have the smallest of opportunities to make films that can be niche and successfully prodding a healthy marketplace of variety films and not a binary mindset to what movies can be.
I'm not really a gore guy overall but Art is SO FUCKIN FUNNY to me that I end up enjoying these movies, and I'm a sucker for a weird supernatural thing, so I'm excited to check out part 3
Always appreciate the more flowing & natural sounding reviews like this one. I just turned 50 so I know things are different now but it makes for a so much more natural presentation so thank you. Always keeps energy because of the stills & video mixed in but it’s not done in a jarring way. I’m pretty much with you personally on this franchise. I must have seen 400-500 slashers by now but the first two never really connected with me despite their strengths.
Wow really appreciate that! And totally get it. Curious what some of your favorite slashers are since you’ve seen so many! It’s not my strongest subgenre to be honest
@@SydneyVolpe damn I love so many it’s difficult. From theatrical releases to regional SOV they all have their charm. Of the giants I’m a Michael & Leatherface guy over Freddy or Chucky or Jason.

@@BourbonJazzyLifelove that, they are a really interesting way of exploring trends/fears of their respective eras. I need to dive into more gialli for sure.
Someone said that Sienna’s fate might eventually be that of the girl at the end of “Terrifier” in All Hallows Eve. 😬 I don’t think Damien would do that to Lara though ..
I am incredibly excited for Terrfier 3 and I'm making sure to watch this one in theaters because I didn't see Terrfier 1 in theaters I don't even know if it even came out in theaters back in 2016 Art was less known back then and I personal mistake of not watching Terrfier 2 in theaters ( I'm still pissed at myself for not watching it in theaters 2 years ago 😂😭🤦) so third time is the charm for me I'm watching Terrfier 3 in theaters tomorrow 🤘🔥💯
Hell yes!! It totally feel you, i saw Terrifier 2 in theaters but i missed the world premiere at fantastic fest because i was like “wtf is terrifier” lol. Now i know better. Hope you enjoy it!!
@@SydneyVolpe I know right when Terrfier 2 was coming out I was like What the hell is Terrfier oh whatever I'll watch Terrfier 2 on streaming and I did and I was oh shit why didn't I watch this in theaters so yeah same I'm not making this mistake again 😂 and thanks Sydney !
terrifier is a series where you just tune your brain out and watch senseless gore and comedy, which is a bad thing for others but it’s amazing for me. i love this series due to how brutal it is and yet how funny it is, substance do matter cuz terrifier one was shitty but putting stuff above substance makes this series what it is.
I rewatched the first two to prepare for this one and I have similar thoughts to what you were saying about the quality of the films with the first being bad, and the second being such a fun time. Always love at watching indie horror and hopefully this is as successful as the Terrifier 2 was. Been excited for this movie since it was announced and excited to watch this in theaters.
Must admit I was expecting more of the whys and how's to be answered in this one. The 'story' for want of a better word. If T3 goes the direction I'm thinking then Damien needs to get off the pot and start giving some cohesive explanations on who ART actually is.. I'll just leave that there..
When Hollywood funds a clown film, we get Joker 2. When the director has to do it himself but also retains artistic control, we get Terrifier 3. Which are you guys more likely to see?
@@SydneyVolpe yeahh 🫡. I've been a terrifier fan ever since I've watched the first terrifier. Tell me is there any scene in part 3 in particular that tops the bedroom scene of past 2?? I'm curious 😊
@@SydneyVolpe We’re hunkered down! We’ll be okay, I hope 😅 We’re not in an evac zone or flood zone, so we should be okay. I’m more central, away from the water. Appreciate the care though! Looking forward to the movie when I get to see it!
Art the clown didn’t go over the top like he dose on 1 and 2 he kills everyone quickly I heard so I don’t know if it is true if the deaths are quick but definitely watching this
checked out of this franchise after the saw scene in the first one. I hate the content, but have massive respect for Leone when I hear him interviewed. Love what he's trying to do, even if it's not for me. It is also interesting to hear the comparisons between Terrifier and Joker as thought "Indie beat Hollywood". Really? Because from what I've heard, Joker may have Hollywood money behind it, but it is absolutely NOT a Hollywood film. It is a Phillips and Phoenix film. They seem to have complete control on that one. Also, Joker made like 9 times what Terrifier did. It bombed because it's budget was insane, not because less people went to see it. The reason Hollywood doesn't support creators is because their movies traditionally don't do as well. I mean Hemsworth's salary for Transformers was more than Terrifier's entire budget. Why is that? Because Thor 3 made almost $800 million dollars, even though it kinda sucked. I am happy for Terrifier, but it's lightning in a bottle. Sadly, it is not a reliable bet. Big names and recognizable brands is what cleans up at the box office, so that is what they bet on.
@@SydneyVolpebold but true. I wasted 2 hours of my life sitting through joker folie at times feeling sleepy!! It needed more action like in Terrifier 2 to make it interesting. Anyways, thanks or the review and you are as beautiful as ever!
@billeatson6190 I think the Joker sequel definitely should of been like Terrifier. A movie where Joker just goes Nuts and brutally kills like Art. Only in the serous of tone of the first film. Like instead of the musical/court room thing, Joker 2 should of been a brutal horror film.
Not bad. Definitely low production value but you see the potential in Art. At least I could. May as well just watch All Hallows' Eve though. It contains the The 9th Circle and the short film Terrifier as part of the anthology plus a messed up scene of Art at the end that is unrelated. Yes same name as the original film I know. Of the two the Terrifier short film is better in my opinion than The 9th Circle and has one particularly brutal scene at the end.
I've never seen any of these movies, and have been a bit hesitant in whether or not I want to. I'm a huge fan of Freddy Krueger, and Chucky, and love all of the movies of each franchise, but I'm not really a Micheal Myers, or Jason fan. I dont really like mindless slashers. With that being said, do you think I should give this franchise a chance?
If you like practical effects, yes. If you like foreign splatterhouse movies that shower everyone in blood, then yes. If you're expecting a thrilling story with complex characters, avoid. They are extreme gross-out movies from beginning to end - very over the top. I find them hilarious, but if you are disturbed by body horror, stay far away.
I think they’re absolutely worth it! Bear in mind the first one is VERY thin on story and heavy on gore, which is why a lot of people don’t love it. The second one is such a massive step up and creates a really interesting story/characters. The third one is kind of in the middle lol.
@@SydneyVolpe first one is shorter more bare bones and was the perfect choice under the conditions i was watching it (at home at 1am) knowing nothing about what i was in for, 2nd one was far too long, added more that took away from what i liked about the original, didn't really like the supernatural lore they were going for with art and had me actually getting bored with it
I agree that the scene in the bar with Santa was the funniest. In my showing, there was an unimpressed silence after the scene with the children getting bombed. No one found that funny.
i watched your review of the substance and ended up loving it so i’m hoping that the same will happen here 😭😭 i’m not a huge fan of either terrifier movies though LMAO
@@SydneyVolpe if you wanted an update by any chance, i actually really liked it! i gave it a 3.5/5 whereas the other two are like in the 1-2 range. I thought it was really earnest and emotional with great gore, and I like that it didn’t double down from the negative feedback about its constant brutalization and exploitation of women… but like actually learned from the criticism?
What I hate about Art the Clown is what he'll ultimately do to the horror genre. We already have an entire generation of kids who judge horror films strictly on the kill count and gore, they care nothing about suspense, tension and mood and now we have these Terrifier films that are going out of their way to showing every horrible thing that a killer can do to a person without restraint which is going to make that situation worse in the long run. Now, whenever a new Halloween film or Friday the 13th film comes out everyone is going to then judge them based on Art the Clown..."Art is way better than Michael or Jason!" is what they'll say and why? Because he's more brutal and for no other reason.
This isn't a Art The Clown problem, in fact it isn't even a problem really it is just an outcome of the culture around horror movies. Those who seek this kind of movie will always compare other villains to Art, same as how Friday the 13th fans did and how Halloween fans did etc
I don’t really agree, there are still so many story driven horror films that are finding success - Longlegs, The Substance, Trap, sure Terrifier will be compared to other big slashers but that’s kind of the name of the game with the big bads in that genre
@@SydneyVolpe according to 3Cfilms when he saw it at a horror film festival. After the movie, David confirmed there is one already in the works, and has the ending he wants in mind
Well least you enjoyed it and it suppose to open at decent start at the box office where as Joker 2 expected to have a massive drop off cuz bad word of mouth, D minus score and 33% critics Audience score 30% on Rotten Tomatoes so Terrifer could do well this weekend . I like to be a member of your channel if that’s possible
Supposed to beat out Joker 2 for number 1 at the Box office according to projections. They are saying 11 million plus. Personally I think it'll blow that out of the water.

Completely unrelated to the movie, but rocking a Christmas sweater in October is such a mood.
It got me in the Christmas spirit and halloween season has barely begun
I work at Home Depot and Christmas\Halloween are right next to each other
Playing this as a secret movie to an unexpecting audience is so messed up!
I feel like it’s almost a little negligent if you have elderly people there
It's October. Definitely a trick🎃
why were they expecting a Christmas film in October? bunch of babies. it's October it definitely would have been a horror film
Seriously! I get they want to generate buzz but not really the movie to surprise people with haha
But in the best way, i would do that. Im watching this movie every halloween and christmas
