TERRIFIER 3

Written By:

Move out of the way Tim Burton, Damien Leone has made a new nightmare before Christmas, and it takes no prisoners! Terrifier 3 is definitely the biggest and bloodiest chapter yet, with Art the Clown wanting to add a bit of terror to the Yuletide season. Once again, David Howard Thornton lives and breathes the murderous antagonist, every gesture dripping in both terror and comedy. Equally, Lauren LaVera cements herself in the pantheon of Final Girls with this film boasting her strongest performance yet as Sienna – there is nothing that will break her, and LaVera makes that known.

With a bigger budget comes bigger and bloodier kills. Here, the FX team have raised the bar even higher, reaching new levels of horror and even besting Allie’s infamous Terrifier 2 bedroom scene. These new set-pieces go above and beyond – each kill creative, inspired, and deeply horrifying… so much so, you may want to hold onto your stomach to make it out of the screening safely! Writer-director Leone adds even more context to the lore introduced in the second film and manages to both answer some of our questions and raise new ones regarding Art’s connection to the Shaws. Ultimately, Terrifier 3 is for the diehard fans, and the subtle bits of fan service throughout this film will make you feel warm inside.

All in all, this is the undisputed best entry of the franchise. It has everything you would want in a Terrifier film: blood, fun, and even more blood. This film is truly a feat of greatness and will not disappoint. If Art the Clown weren’t already a horror icon, he would be after this!
