TERRIFIER 3 First Reactions Call Unrated Horror Threequel "Sickening, Depraved, And Blasphemous"

Terrifier 3 director Damien Leone has repeatedly promised that his threequel would up the ante when it comes to the gore-levels, and it sounds like he has delivered... and then some.

The first reactions to Terrifier 3 are in following the movie's world premiere at Fantastic Fest, and it sounds like horror fans are in for a twisted treat this Halloween.

Director Damien Leone has repeatedly stated that his upcoming threequel will up the ante when it comes to the franchise's signature extreme violence.

Depending on your tolerance for genuinely sicking gore, this could be viewed as either a promise or a threat, but one thing seems certain from these social media reactions: Leone was not exaggerating.

Though it sounds like there might be some story issues, those who got to see the movie were full of praise for this latest slasher-fest, and the consensus seems to be that Leone has delivered on his promise of a follow-up that surpasses the brutality of the previous films (if that's even possible).

Check out the posts below along with some new character posters.

"After surviving Art the Clown's Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother struggle to rebuild their shattered lives. As the holiday season approaches, they try to embrace the Christmas spirit and leave the horrors of the past behind. However, just when they think they're safe, Art returns, determined to turn their holiday cheer into a new nightmare."

Terrifier 3 arrives in theaters next month. Do you plan on checking it out on the big screen?

It's impressive how much life this indie horror franchise has gotten the last few years but it just isn't the type of horror I as a fan enjoy. It is just shock value and gore with no substance. There is some potential story wise but Damien suffers from the Zack Snyder syndrome. Excellent visual effects and excellent set pieces but horrible writing and directing.

@SonOfAGif - They're just dumb fun, like a wish.com version of Evil Dead. Definitely not for everyone lol but they're amusing

@SonOfAGif - always surprised to find that there are people who actually enjoy these types of films. Gore porn just does not appeal to me at all.

@Shivermetimbers - I felt like after saw 2 they all became just gore centric for the sake of gore. I guess there is a target audience out there for it but I really don’t know why

The second one was waaay to long for a slasher but still served it's purpose, the new one is slightly shorter. The first one is still the best. I look forward to Jericho's demise lol

I saw the first two. Some fun parts, some absolutely diabolical parts. Not sure if I dig brutality for brutality’s sake.

These films are hollow and just shock full for the sake of being shocking. Really dumb films.

Lol. This is the same marketing tactic they used for the second one.

I remember seeing the scene they claimed "so gross you'll vomit".

The gore was so fake it was clearly a dummy that was getting its eyes stabbed out.

These movies sre trash.

Same garbage marketing as the Paranormal Craptivity films.

@Mercwitham0uth - dude, the face that was his with a shotgun looked pretty [frick]ing real... trust me... I've seen faces shot with shotguns lol.

I'll saw that there are some parts that look SUPER fake (specifically faces that are being ripped and stuff), BUT there are also some parts that looks INCREDIBLY realistic. The head being chopped off in the store in part 2 looked EXTREMELY realistic, even down to the meat spilling out. I said it in another comment, I'm not trying to be a psycho or anything, but I've seen quite a bit of [frick]ed up bodies for my job, and there are parts of both movies that are INSANELY realistic... to the point that I'm curious what they're looking up to get it so accurate.

@Demigods - Damien is talented with VFX. He could become the next Tom Savini if he focused on that instead of writing + directing. Terrifier could really be a solid franchise if he actually lets a good writer and a good director do it and he is in total control of VFX and Set Design.

@SonOfAGif - Totally agree. He's more concerned with shock value than story though, which is unfortunate... If they truly bull off of the story from All Hallow's Eve straight through, this could turn into a genuinely great story, BUT he (supposedly) outright refused funding and backing from mainstream movie production companies because he knew they wouldn't let him do the opening of the movie that he wanted to do, which is a major part of the reason that I'm hesitant to watch it in the first place. I have a feeling the scene with the kid is the opening, and I have zero interest in watching a little kid (that age) get brutally tortured to death. I can see the death of a kid on screen if it's done well, tastefully and drives the story home, but I have zero interest in watching it done for shock value. I could watch trash like A Serbian Film if I wanted to go that route.

I remember when he hung that woman upside down and split her in half starting with her "gash". Everything is just shock value now.

These movies don't have any kind of story that requires them being longer than 90 minutes. Pure gore entertainment directed by a practical FX guy.

I'll see it, but I'm going in low expectations. LaVera is a baddie tho.

@Nightmare - exactly this.
It’s noteworthy that no press anywhere mentions the plot and nobody is even remotely interested in what the story is. And you’re right - there is no reason on earth why the second pile of shit in this franchise needed to be nearly 3 hours long

@Nightmare - I don't like these movies but she's a fox. Hopefully she can get work outside of this franchise.

@NodrickStripson - Which is upsetting because the concept of Art being an emissary of the Devil and Sienna being an emissary of an Angel would have been such an interesting aspect.

@SonOfAGif - and it's annoying that that subplot apparently took a back seat in 3. I thought that build up of the lore in 2 was an interesting way to take the franchise. They hinted that he was a demon manifested into reality in All Hallow's Eve, then in 1, it shows that he can't be killed, in 2, they built upon that demonic lore more... but now in 3, he wants to ditch the lore and go back to straight up slasher? I dunno... seems like wasted potential to dip back into shock value schlop.

These films are all utter shit.
Badly acted, badly shot, badly directed, badly edited… always shitty effects… Completely amateur from beginning to end. I despair at the state of horror as a genre if trash like this is what is held in such higher regard.

Ahh, David Howard Thornton's delicious scene chewing and capeshitters that spent a decade console warring with each other pretending they have standards. It's like an all you can eat buffet of the highest caliber.

I'm an avid horror fan with a pretty strong stomach (I can handle Evil Dead and Saw) but these movies are straight up gore porn and nothing else. I only saw the first one and thought it was creepy with one really gross sequence and the clips I've seen from the second are just depraved kill after depraved kill.

I did enjoy In a Violent Nature. That had some gnarly kills but its unique style at least made it stand out from the usual slasher crop.

Sounds like my type of movie.

First movie was OK, good kills.

The second is so much better.

Looking forward to seeing the third.
