Terrifier 2

I just left the theater. This movie was utter insanity.

Some of the most brutal death scenes ive ever watched in a horror film...there were parts where I literally said "jesus christ" out loud in the theater. They dont turn the camera away you see it all.

Complete gorefest its amazing.

Now the plot is pretty weak and makes no sense and its a little long to be a slasher but to me that doesnt hinder from the actual spectacle of the film which is the gore and practical effects.

If youre looking for a good storyline and plot youll be pretty disappointed. But if you want to see just mindless death and absurd over the top gore this is highly recommended!

So I went into this hoping it would be the same format as the first. Psycho clown meet some strangers and for 90 minutes he takes them out in gruesome fashion. What happened was not that. Don't get me wrong, the brutality was cranked up to 11 and they made a little funnier. But there were some really stretched out scenes. And I figured they did to establish plot and a story worth watching. They even set up plot devices that at 1st seemed this was gonna be 1 helluva sequel. But by the time the credits rolled no questions were answered,no plot resolved. This so disappointing, I really could go on about it,but why bother.

A bloody mess and a decent story, if you like slasher horrors, this is up your alley. The writing needs work, and alot of it. The adult authority figures are irrational and overreact while the kids don't bat an eye, it's awkward and unrealistic. Secondary character dialogue is also awkward and didnt seem to get much attention past the first draft. Art is heartless and insidious, showing more personality this time around, becoming a horror icon in the process as the silliest killer who clearly enjoys what he does. The gory effects are great, and hopefully with the success of Terrifier 2 the third will bring a bigger budget for higher quality actors and writers. This movie is a fun watch, flaws aside, and I am excited for Terrifier 3.

I thought Terrifier 1 was not great, but watchable. This was not.

1. First of all...way too long. Horror movies, even good ones should not be over two hours unless there is a specific reason(aka 'IT'). This was long for no reason. There are multiple 'filler' scens that do nothing to push the story forward. They are there because the props department had some extra blood that they wanted to discard.

2. I enjoy gore. But the gore needs to have a purpose. Here the gore was added to many scenes that had no purpose. It was as if the props department(again) was also the writers and director. The movie felt like they created the gore scene first and tried miserably to connect a story.

3. Speaking of story...none. No plot, no redemption, no reason for anything happening. Also bad acting, even by horror movie standards.

You can tell in the first three minutes if you will like it or not. I did not like the first three minutes, but thought it would get better...it doesn't.

The film is about 20 minutes too long, as others have remarked. Its clear that the Director got carried away. There are some plot developments that do not fit at all with the original movie. Sometimes, when Directors get their hands on a bigger budget, they feel they have to expand the plots and runtime. Less is always more!

The plot elements add confusion to a simple plot, which had it been kept to around 90 minutes, would have had more impact. The carnage was not as bad as the internet hype made it out to be. None of this type of carnage was new. It had been done in many other movies already.

I think the creator of "Terrifier 2" put extra thematic story lines into the sequel unnecessarily.

It borders on fantasy or sci-fi in the end. My advice to the creator or Director is to "Keep it short and sweet."
