This is also not a movie for people who are sensitive to slasher films. There's one big main scene that was disturbing and petrified me. “Art the clown” sliced a woman in half upside down completely naked and he started by her sensitive areas to her head. This had me have anxiety for a week and traumatized me.
Parents need to know that Terrifier is a slasher movie about an evil killer clown. Blood and gore are extremely strong, and the violence against women is disturbing. One woman is hung naked upside down (her breasts are visible) and sawed in half from her crotch to her head. Another woman's skin is sliced off…
Art kills his victims through mutilation. Nearly every death in the movie is insanely gory, and not at all for those with a weak stomach. The edited version of this film removes the goriest and most explicit images but is still very brutal and sadistic in nature.
Written and directed by Damien Leone, Terrifier 2 has been heralded as the most depraved movie to ever hit the screen, and I can confirm that the hype is not unwarranted. Three years ago, I warned everyone that the original Terrifier had the single most disturbing and upsetting on-screen kill I'd ever seen.
A certain level of super-strength is shown throughout Art the Clown's movie appearances, as well, as he is able to rip off limbs with relative ease and carry his bag of endless tools. Finally, like most slasher villains, in Terrifier 2, Art seems to be able to teleport, moving great distances in a short period.
This film really needed a PLOT. And characters, some people to root for. Instead, the poor pacing, lack of tension and suspense made for a kind of dull film experience. Yes, Art is a crazy, vicious clown killer.
The main reason that Art the Clown beats Pennywise when it comes to scare factor is the simplicity of his modus operandi. Without a word (and usually without betraying emotions other than sadistic glee, unless he's seriously hurt), Art the Clown just tortures, maims, and murders for no discernible reason.
Its not particularity good, but it does its job in keeping you in an pleasant viewing as well as showing some very disturbing stuff - this movie is not for children, that is for sure. Overall, "Terrifier" is not bad horror movie overall. Its very disturbing, but its not a gore fest (i hate those).
Even after almost three decades, his hold over the town, from children to adults, can be felt and make him appear almost God-like when the book's main characters face him as adults. However, when it comes to Art the Clown from Terrifier, he doesn't need much of a setup to earn the title of being scarier than Pennywise.
Terrifier 2 gained widespread acclaim and publicity for its use of extreme gore, particularly the infamous bedroom scene. The bedroom scene in Terrifier 2 is one of the most intense and brutal moments in the movie, surpassing films like Saw and Hostel in terms of its shocking violence.
While there are theories that Art is Sienna's dad, there is also evidence that suggests they are not the same person and that Art has connections and backstory separate from the Shaw family. Terrifier 3 may provide more answers regarding Sienna's dad's role in the franchise.
In anticipation of the third film, “Terrifier 2” expanded more on the mythology of Art. According to the sequel, the clown isn't human at all, but instead an evil entity with the ability to repeatedly resurrect.
As for why Art the Clown chooses to remain silent, this character trait is both a dramatic choice and an approach that speaks to his status as more of a mime than a clown. Given that mime's communicate through gesture rather than speech, making Art silent makes total sense, as well as enhancing his sinister presence.
The second film does an excellent job of adding to the blood and gore expected of the franchise but fails to capture some of the shock value that made the first film terrifying. Art is also established in the town's lore by the second film, so his presence doesn't loom as large.
Far more bloody and graphic than the first film and includes practical effects which can seem very real at times. The gore in this movie is very over the top but also realistic in some points and may be very upsetting to viewers. Not appropriate for younger viewers.
The controversy around Terrifier 2 stems from the extreme level of violence and sadism depicted in the bedroom scene, with reports of viewers fainting and vomiting. However, the controversy has also elevated the movie to a horror classic status and generated interest for a sequel.
Terrifier 2 is INCREDIBLY long for a slasher movie and will probably be the most common complaint people have after watching it. Many scenes could have either been trimmed down or completely cut altogether, Especially in the first act. The pacing is horrendous and the bloated length comes off as pretentious.
This movie has too much violence and gore. This is definitely not for kids and especially when their brain is still developing. This is also not a movie for people who are sensitive to slasher films. There's one big main scene that was disturbing and petrified me.
According to the theory, Art the Clown originally took on the role of a doctor due to his infatuation with death. Rather than helping those in need, he was more interested in how much torture a body could sustain and the various ways he could take a life.
Art is a vile, dangerous, and demented killer clown and demon who has a penchant for viciously slaughtering nearly anyone he comes across, with his preferred method of killing and torture being mutilation. Art possesses various supernatural abilities as well, which he uses to induce fear upon his targets.
He is an extremely sadistic and demonic killer mime who appears on Halloween nights to wreak havoc. The character appears in many of director Damien Leone's works, originating in the short film The 9th Circle before taking on a more prominent role in feature horror films.
There's not really a true story to Art's creation. If there was, it would only serve to make him more terrifying. Terrifier's Art was created when Damien Leone had the idea of a clown annoying a woman on her way home from work on a bus.
After killing Tara, he targets Victoria, the lone survivor. She fights against Art until he runs her over with a pickup truck and eats half of her face off, leaving her disfigured. Before he can kill her, the police confront him at gunpoint, and he commits suicide.
In the original film, Art dies when he shoots himself through the mouth as the cops attempt to arrest him, but he is revived through uncertain means and kills the coroner not long after. In the sequel, Art is killed when Sienna Shaw decapitates him, but he is also revived when Victoria gives birth to his severed head.
