Terrifier 2

Honestly the first terrifier was something else when I first watched. The gruesome scenes really shocked me.. I learned they were making a second and thought cool! Now I've seen it and I still thought it was cool, but OMG! This movie lives up to the hype of people been saying about it. It's so gruesome and knarly. Honestly haven't had a movie make me yell in disgust and look away but at the same time keep watching because the make up and everything is really good. Art the Clown is ruthless and doesn't ever hold back. Never speaks either but yet you know what he's saying. Final girl is Amazing!

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.

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."

This movie is terrible compared to the original. It felt almost as if Terrifier lost it's 'dark aura.' It had a far less creepy vibe to it as well.

Let's start with the death scenes. Some of them were so over the top and dragged out. If they were trying to be silly like Evil Dead, then they failed miserably. Some of "Art's" victims were being tortured anywhere from 2 to 3 minutes, anywhere from being skined to breaking bones with a ridiculous amount of blood. The victim would've died in the first thirty seconds just from blood loss.

The acting in this one was subpar. It reminds me of the later 1990's teen slasher movies. I could just tell that the characters weren't in sync.

I would definitely watch the first Terrifier over this one anyway.

That was way too long. It got to the point where enough was enough. After about an hour I couldn't wait for it to end. Art The Clown looks great and there's some gnarly kill scenes, but that's literally it. The acting's terrible and there's almost zero storyline. All this film consists of is a killer clown running around slaughtering people. Why people are so into these films is beyond me. Don't get me wrong! I enjoy horror films just as much as the next guy, but some of these kill scenes are extremely overdone. You gotta be somewhat sadistic to be into this stuff. When it was all said and done it's just an all around cheesy film. 5 stars.
