As a seasoned horror aficionado who has seen his fair share of slashers since the golden age of the genre, I must say that Terrifier 3 has truly left me spellbound. The franchise, under the visionary hand of Damien Leone, has taken the humble beginnings of Art the Clown and elevated him to an iconic status in modern horror.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the Terrifier franchise.
Due to its record-breaking performance at the box office, fans have propelled Damien Leone’s movie, Terrifier, to the peak of the Freevee chart. The crowd-funded supernatural slasher film transformed the enigmatic character of Art the Clown into a horror legend for many, and many have been seizing the opportunity to stream it at home for free on Amazon’s Freevee service.
2022 saw Terrifier 2 unexpectedly thrive at the box office as it resonated with both viewers and critics alike. Despite being one of many films introducing a fresh wave of maniacal clowns, this movie stood out by becoming a cultural touchstone. The buzz surrounding its graphic violence and extended 138-minute runtime – which some considered excessive for an ’80s slasher homage – propelled the franchise to new heights. Ultimately, this gamble paid off handsomely as the film received a remarkable Rotten Tomatoes critics’ rating of 87% and an audience score of 81%.
Terrifier 2 transcended its role as a mere tribute to grisly and unsettling films of yore, validating its runtime by introducing Lauren LaVera’s character Sienna Shaw and a chilling new entity dubbed “The Pale Girl,” while enshrouding the series in a supernatural enigma. The movie did not delve into why Art was brought back to life in the climax of 2016’s Terrifier, who his mysterious young companion is, or why one of his initial victims emerged as equally malevolent. This omission served a purpose…as Leone is meticulously plotting out his innovative franchise with a long-term vision.
Terrifier 3 Begins to Explain Art’s Demonic Origins and Sets Up a Sequel
It’s evident that Damien Leone has carefully planned out Art the Clown’s story, as demonstrated in Terrifier 3. Apart from the gore, this film significantly intensifies the horror and offers intriguing insights into a character that has left audiences spellbound for many years. Notably, the movie received an initial rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, later dropping to a more typical 76%. However, its audience score has consistently remained high at 89%.
In the third installment of “Terrifier,” we delve deeper into the supernatural aspects hinted at in the final scenes of the original movie and further developed in “Terrifier 2.” One notable scene involves Sienna, portrayed by LaVera, explaining to her brother why an evil spirit has taken control of Art, and Victoria, a survivor from the previous films, sheds light on the presence of the Pale Girl in “Terrifier 2.” For viewers who aren’t just interested in gore like chainsaw attacks or skinned skulls, “Terrifier 3” offers a compelling reason to rewatch the earlier movies and appreciate how all the plot twists were subtly set up.
The third installation of “Terrifier” exceeded the earnings of “Terrifier 2” during its initial weekend, paving the way for Leone to inflict significant impact with “Terrifier 4.” Initially choosing to reject offers of mainstream distribution through a major studio, Leone has almost reached that level of success while preserving his original concept for the series. With the forthcoming chapter, many big-budget films may tremble at the prospect of sharing the same release window.
