Terrifier 3. Woof. It's been a couple days and I'm undecided if I like 2 or 3 better. Didn't disappoint on the story or gore but I don't think anything topped the bedroom scene of 2. I wouldn't say 3 was a letdown, just didn't exponentially ramp up like 1 to 2. I watched an interview with the writer/director where he addressed the complaint that 2+ hours is too long for a horror movie. He didn't really disagree but said it's not the storyline or filler that adds to the time in Terrifier movies. In traditional slashers the kills maybe last a minute at most. In Terrifier movies Art's torture and kill scenes are often elaborate and comparably long. Overkill is an understatement. Art annihilates victims well beyond a kill. You watch the movies to see how he's going to take it too far.
I think I've clearly sold the franchise here. The Saw franchise might be comparable. Storyline aside, you know what you are really hoping to see.
