I’m scared of horror but this highkey scary movie levels of hilarious

I like gore movies and I find physical violence pretty damn scary, but there’s a limit sometimes where it disconnects and becomes absurd. I just watched Repulsion (1965) and I think it’s honestly the scariest film I’ve ever watched and it’s all because of the implications. The way violence is expected but rarely ever really shown. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre does this effectively in a different way too. I actually really like Terrifier and I find it unsettling due to its low budget borderline snuff film quality, but it’s not really the violence in it that makes me feel that way. Movies like Hostel and Martyrs really make the violence scary. The former for just how uncomfortable watching people enjoy perpetrating it is even in subtle ways like a heel slice—and the latter for how overwhelming transcendent it’s framed as being. I can’t imagine Terrifier 2 really pulling off either.

I know lol it’s so over the top

nah the first one literally doesn’t have a story. It’s more of a proof of concept for Art. only thing you need to watch it for is the mid credits scene

They don’t have to check ID’s technically for this movie, it was released unrated. It’s totally up to the theater and do you think they want to lose all that money?!

bro you literally sound like a suburban mom rn lol. it’s just about the over the top silliness of it and the appreciation of the AMAZING practical effects involved in this

Nah I specifically said The Void has stretched its budget as much as this, where when you watch the two you can’t tell at all that they were made for less than $1 million.

The Void is one of my favorite horror movies of the past decade and Astron-6 did wonders with the budget. Same for their most recent movie Psycho Goreman, that movie is one of the biggest love letters to practical effects. I loved it’s intentionally cheap Power Rangers look at times

They didn’t get an R rating at all lmao they just straight up released it unrated. The MPAA would’ve butchered this movie. That’s what’s so great about this movie, it’s 100% the director’s vision, 138 minutes without any studio meddling, and it came out in 700+ theaters. Insane accomplishment for indie filmmakers

Hell yeah. It’s a phenomenon rn. It already made $4 million on a $250k budget in 700+ theaters so far (most screenings are always sold out). I think of it as basically a haunted house people can go to for cheap, if you get what I mean. It has commercial appeal and outstanding word of mouth

damn I didn’t know that, legendary

Haven't seen either of them

I see the second one has a late night showing by me playing all week, might watch the first tomorrow and check the second on Wednesday

Definitely go see it in a theater. I’m gonna try sometime in the next few days just because I enjoyed the movie so much and I hear it’s like one of the best theater experiences you can have

First one doesn’t really have a story at all, it’s a proof of concept (the director has confirmed this). It’s just to show off Art the Clown and what he can do. Second one is entirely story based, and a damn good story at that. The director listened to the criticism of the first film and improved in literally every way

The only thing you need to know about the first movie to understand the sequel is the opening scene and the closing scene. Those two are technically scenes from Terrifier 2 though

Yep. Legendary move. I know Damien Leone wants to keep it independent but holy s*** I can only imagine the amount of money being offered to him right now from different major studios. They were already hounding him for the rights to Art the Clown after the first movie, but the success of this sequel has to have sent the value of this franchise through the roof

gotcha so would u recommend just going completely blind to the second one before seeing the first?

I can always check out the first one after

Yeah, it may actually be even better if you watch the sequel first since the original is essentially one long flashback since the movie is framed between scenes from the sequel.

Only place you might get lost in the sequel is the very very beginning. Art comes back to life after he shot himself in the head at the end of the first one (that’s not a spoiler btw). Opening scene of this is the final scene from the original

word, I'm definitely gonna check this out either Wednesday or Thursday

Bro I just saw the bedroom kill on Twitter

S*** is mad brutal

Wathing both this weekend

I swear when I first seen this movie I didn't expect it to have gore like this and the way its done too

Op right about the word of mouth

Because I have to see it now, I been seeing so much regarding the Terrifier name

Both

I can’t go to sleep at night unless I watch terrifier 2

This film was amazing

Love the supernatural elements and lore
They really hit it out of the park with this one

Lmao never even heard of this but op description sold me on it so I went right to soap and skimmed through it and skipped right to the scene I know your talking about lmao crazy how s*** happens

That s*** was hella over the top

s*** actually released in a ton of movie theatres near me people who gonna be just showin up lookin for a run of the mill scary movie got no idea what they in for

I can’t go to sleep at night IF I watch terrifier 2
