After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to the shy town of Miles County where he preys on a teenage girl and her little brother on Halloween night. The haunted house scenes in “Terrifier” were filmed at a real haunted house called the Fright Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The filmmakers used what they already had on hand. Art’s favorite acid is fluoroantimonic acid, which he keeps in a clear glass bottle. It is a superacid that can dissolve even glass. Art the Clown: ………. There is a mid-credits scene in a mental hospital with Chris Jericho as security guard Alan Burke and Leah Voysey as a nurse. The German DVD and Blu-ray releases from Tiberius Film are trimmed by about three minutes to secure the “Not Under 18” rating (this was necessary because the guidelines for video releases are stricter than for theatrical releases). Virtually every violent scene has been cut to tone down the violence. The Mediabook 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray releases from Nameless Media are completely uncut and have received a light SPIO/JK approval. Edited from Terrifier (2016). The Equaliser (Not Alone) Written by Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle (as Jamison Tyler Lyle) Performed by The Midnight Courtesy of BMG Platinum Songs U.S. (BMI). A bloody mess and a decent story, if you like slasher horror, this is for you. The writing needs work, and a lot of it. The adult authority figures are irrational and overreact while the children don’t bat an eyelid, it’s awkward and unrealistic. The dialogue from the supporting characters is also awkward and doesn’t seem to have received much attention beyond the first draft. Art is ruthless 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 gore effects are great and hopefully with the success of Terrifier 2 the third will bring a bigger budget for better actors and writers. This movie is fun to watch, flaws aside, and I’m excited for Terrifier 3.
