So after seeing the first two, a friend of mine asked me to come and see the third, naturally I said no.
But after a little convincing I bit that bullet and went with him to see it, yeah I’ve never regretted anything in my life… until that night.
Terrifier 3 breaks a certain taboo subject matter that you rarely see in horror movies, and that is the deaths of children, and I’m not talking about offscreen deaths no… you see everything in this flick, dismembered dead children who it only have been axed, but blown up as well… oh yeah… that happens, more on that later.
There is a reason why people have been throwing up when seeing this movie, and I don’t blame them to be quite honest with you… there were some scenes in the first two that sure made me gag, but never made me throw up per say, but!
This one particularly made me feel physically sick, so much so that during one scene I actually had to walk out, call me soft call me whatever, but c’mon do you really want to see a woman get tube fed live rats? And then said rats eat and gnaw their way out of the woman’s stomach, do you really want to see that? Didn’t think so.
Directly from the opening scene you know exactly what road this threequel is going to go down, and it really isn’t a happy road at all.
The opening ten minutes alone is gross, and it’s really unpleasant, let me explain… like I said in the first two… squeamish viewers stop reading now!
So.. Art dressed as Santa invades the home of a typical American style family, they have a nice house, two kids and are excited for the Christmas season, the little girl wakes up, hears “Santa” on the roof and goes to investigate.
She spots Art the clown wielding an axe, and slaughter her older brother… his famous last words are “Julia I thought I told you to stay out of my…” bam he’s then axed to death by Art.
I’m not going to lie, I did laugh at this scene, I’m not sure whether it was a shocked laugh, something like “ha ha oh no a child has died” or whether it was an uncomfortable laugh like “ha oh that poor child”
This is one of many deaths where it feels unwarranted and completely unnecessary, Damian Leone is trying so hard to go down the controversial route, while it does pay off, it makes you feel so uncomfortable when watching these kids die a horrible death.
Another scene involves a department store Santa and Art, he uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the poor guys legs, and then smashes them with a sledgehammer, again completely unwarranted and unnecessary.
You feel so sorry for the poor bastard.
Art then dresses as Santa, and treats kids to presents galore… but being a horror movie it’s not all fun and games, with a choir version of Joy To The World blasting out, a little boy who looks no older than 8 maybe 9 opens a present and KABOOM!
He explodes along with several other children in the vicinity.
MERRY CHRISTMAS BOYS AND GIRLS! And just when you think that doesn’t fulfil your sick depraved mind, oh look little Jimmy’s entrails, because yeah… really want to see that… oh look, it’s little Susie’s foot, just lying there.
Seriously it really shy away from controversy let me tell you!
I hated this movie and for good reason.
The amount of gratuitous violence completely takes away from the horror elements of Terrifier 3.
The kills again like the second are completely unnecessary and just so uncalled for, I get that’s Art’s motive like he just doesn’t give a shit about who he kills and how he kills them.
Art the clown is like this generations Jigsaw, every film he finds new ways to brutally murder someone, and that is a hill I will die on.
I hated this movie so much, it was graphic, unnecessary… just no… eww!
0/10 and you guys who have stuck with this blog for a long time know how dare I give 0/10s but guys this film completely warrants that rating, it’s gross, graphic and certainly not for anybody who has children.
As always guys catch ya later 🙂
I’m going to wash my eyes out and grab a sick bowl… laters!
