to shoot the opening scene himself, which he describes as “very controversial”
Tale
Art the Clown is about to unleash chaos on the unsuspecting citizens of Miles County as they peacefully drift off into Christmas Eve slumber. Director Damien Leone said several major studios had expressed interest in financing this film based on the runaway success of Terrifier 2 (2022), even without a full script, but he turned them down because he was sure they would never let him go. Leone has commented that the only reason he can be so uncompromising in his portrayal of gore and gore is that he finances his films independently, creates all the special effects himself to keep costs down, and doesn’t have a major studio to give him breathing down his neck to make the movie more mainstream.. Mia mentions that the 5th anniversary of the original massacre is coming up soon, but it happened on Halloween, and this movie, which takes place on Christmas 5 years later, would mean the anniversary was 2 months ago..
If you’re looking for blood, look no further!
Julia’s Brother: Julia, I thought I told you to stay away from my -[Art kills him with an ax] . There is an uncut version of the film that is 2 hours and 25 minutes long with 5 extra scenes. Terrifier (2016) followed. Artwork written by Drew Fulk, Joe Ochiuti, Paul Wiley, Spencer Charnas and Steve Sopchak, performed by Ice Nine Kills and Shavo Odadjian.
Terrifier 3 had all the gore we craved!
However, if I’m being honest, none of the kills beat the salt scene in Terrifier 2. Overall, I’d say there are more kills and gore than the second film, but none of the kills (even the main kill) were as over the top as was in the second movie. Another thing, half of the kills were left to the imagination as half of them either happened off-screen or have already happened by the time the camera pans into the scene. This was a major disappointment as many of the "main kills" they had to be shown as they had to be emotional.
It also did very little to build on Art or Sienna’s history
Plot-wise, I think I enjoyed the second movie more because the pace of that movie was a little different. Between the time jumps, Sienna’s plot, and the art plot, the pacing just wasn’t right. It just felt like there was a lot of time between each kill. Also, you never build an emotional connection in this movie with any of the characters except for Sienna.
Overall, I’d say Terrifier 2 was better
Finally, the last 20 minutes really let me down. Almost none of the kills were shown on screen and trust me those kills should have been shown. Art the Clown, Pennywise and Killer Clowns are just a few of the comical creatures that give us chills. Check out the scariest clowns to grace the screen.
