Terrifier 2

On Sunday, horror news website Bloody Disgusting reported that clown horror movie 'Terrifier 2' saw its box office performance rise by 84% last weekend ...

15: "To everyone saying that reports of people fainting and puking during screenings of "I mean, those are the things that they really want." 😋," Leone wrote. But he stressed, "I don't want people fainting, getting hurt during the movie." Highly recommended." 7, calling it "an amazing gory mess."

Terrifier 2 is a violent and surprising horror experience that came from the cult classic original. But is the first film required viewing?

Terrifier 2 inadvertently becomes a complete film on its own thanks to the focus on a story where the only real continuity came in the form of Art the Clown. As a result, by removing itself from a larger narrative, Terrifier 2 is given a chance to inject more heart into its main characters. The original Terrifier had a contained story that revolved around the main character, Tara, who's trapped in Art the Clown's lair. Surprisingly, Terrifier 2 has offered a unique answer that may help bring even more eyes to the screen than the original. Like [most of its bloody contemporaries](https://www.cbr.com/mr-grin-godzilla-kong-artist-reinvents-joker-80s-slasher/), the Terrifier films aren't afraid to push gore to the limits. However, unlike [its blood-soaked contemporaries](https://www.cbr.com/hatchet-victor-crowley-urban-legend/), Art the Clown established a higher ceiling of what could and couldn't be considered "too much."

Some horror movies are so stomach chruning they whip audiences up into a frenzy: films from 'The Phantom of the Opera' to 'Terrifier 2' did just that.

While the intensity of the film's suspense would have been a factor in many viewers feeling a little queasy, it's worth noting other found-footage movies, such as [Cloverfield](https://collider.com/tag/cloverfield/), have had similar effects on audiences. [The Toronto Star](https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2019/10/31/2019/10/31/from-the-halloween-crypt--how-the-star-covered-the-toronto-premi.html) claimed one cinema had to call emergency services four times in one night as viewers quite literally struggled to make it out of The Exorcist alive. [The Exorcist](https://collider.com/tag/the-exorcist/) is befitting its current status as one of the most terrifying horror movies ever made. Some viewers at 2016’s TIFF received medical attention after fainting at the screening, [according to The Hollywood Reporter](https://hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/toronto-multiple-moviegoers-pass-screening-cannibal-movie-raw-928431/). [Not as maniacally gratuitous with the gore as other cannibal movies](https://collider.com/cannibal-horror-movies-history-explained/), Raw is directed with brilliant poise, using the unbelievable achievements of the effects team to have even the toughest of horror fans feeling squeamish. [but his skill as a makeup artist](https://collider.com/lon-chaney-silent-horror-actor-man-of-a-thousand-faces/) defined the film’s enduring ability to terrify. [Freaks](https://collider.com/tag/freaks/) showcased some pretty extreme body horror to audiences who were not prepared for it. [As reported by Far Out Magazine](https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-exorcist-premiere-reactions-1973/), a number of patrons fainted, vomited, and even reportedly suffered heart attacks while attending screenings of the famous horror movie. Its ability to evoke genuine terror is the stuff of horror movie legend, with The supernatural horror had people braving extreme weather conditions to line up for hours, [according to The New York Times](https://web.archive.org/web/20190301141811/https://www.nytimes.com/1974/01/24/archives/exorcist-casts-spell-on-full-houses-record-take-expected-mostly.html). Films dating as far back as the silent era have wielded a profound ability to disturb viewers to the point of physical illness.
