47. Terrifier 2




Art the Clown is back, raised from the dead for reasons. He's on a killing spree, more violent and bloody than previous efforts.

Terrifier had a gruesome sequence involving hanging a woman upside down and sawing her down the middle. It made enough waves to be memorable despite being a meandering snore for most of the run time.

With the sequel, the run time is obnoxiously longer, almost 2 1/2 hours. It goes for broke in terms of gore and violence. It has a lot more blood, but nothing done in this film met the depravity of the aforementioned sequence. The internet hype of vomiting and passing out in theatres set the bar too high for a movie like this.

We get a semblance of a story this time, not a great one, but one that shows more effort put forth. Art is still creepy and an after-the-credits sequence sets up another entry that will probably be even more weird and out there.
