Oh man....
Terrifier.
It's hard for me to say this was a "great" movie. I felt absolutely grimy and in need of a serious shower after this one. But, for the genre it belongs within, and for what the creators of the film were going for, this movie takes the cake! Pun kind of intended with the clown...and cakes...
Terrifier certainly lands in the world the bloodiest goriest movies out there. It is a slasher movie where the killer, "Art the Clown", is an unstoppable clown, who doesn't even make sound when getting hurt. Not a grunt or a cry of pain or agony. No. Kind of just mimes the pain. Which adds to the creepy factor of the killer. He attacks anyone that really crosses his path, but more so, those who make fun of him, or get in his way.
Every death scene I cringed, and not for just a short period of time. These scenes are drawn out, and extremely brutal and gruesome. They are certainly not for the weak hearted, or those wanting to just dip a toe in the blood out of curiosity. This movie goes all out.
So, why did I watch this and subject myself to it?
I was turned on to this movie from someone who was dressed as Art the Clown at a Halloween party I attended last year. And, since The Bloody Reel podcast was getting underway at the time, I told myself "I gotta watch it, right?" I took note of it, and here we are.
Second of all...I wasn't actually aware of the level they take the death scenes. Even with the fair warning I had from said friend dressed as Art the Clown. Guess I was underprepared!
Thirdly, I was intrigued, and have slowly been getting more into the gruesome Splatter horror movies out there. So...a part of me actually liked wanted to see this movie!
As you see, the Bloody-o'-Graph certainly has some high ratings in several of the categories. Terrifier has the highest rating overall for any movie I've completed the BoG for, so far.
