    Only watched for the gore I hear about
    My friend told me to watch the 1st movie a while back, because he claimed it's a great film. And he's someone that claims he won't watch movies or shows that have less than an 8/10 on here. 🤣🤣 I don't remember every detail about the 1st movie, but I remember being extremely bored and fast forwarding throughout the whole thing. I finished it in 15 minutes or so. It was awful. Pointless storyline with horrendous acting.

    After hearing from my friend and others that the sequel is a much better movie with a bigger budget, I finally decided to give it a shot. Just finished it. Ended up fast forwarding, but not as much as the first movie. I'll agree, it was better than the first, but that isn't saying much. Hence, my rating being a 2 over a 1.

    Again, it's way too long, a completely idiotic and pointless storyline that just doesn't make sense. The acting although not as bad as the first movie, was still terrible.

    As far as gore goes, you can give it a 10/10 if you want, but don't say this is a "good movie".

    If you want to just watch random gory killing scenes, but not be entertained by at least half way decent writing, then I guess this is the movie for you.

    Skip the 20 minute dream sequence at the beginning. Boring and irrelevant.
    The first one was much better, but it's watchable. I could only take the first 5 minutes with the whole "Clown Cafe" musical number before I skipped to 25 minutes in. After that point, it's a much better experience. It was too much time filler and no substance. There also doesn't seem to be any relevance except to make the movie longer.

    When Art the Clown showed up at Allies house, I thought it was her mom! The dialogue didn't fit a teenager. I looked her up and Casey Hartnett was born in 1990 and was in her 30's in this film. She cannot pull off being in High School well enough for teenage roles.

    A step above the first one.
    Art the clown is back and this time he is terrorizing teens on Halloween in Terrifier 2. This entry ups the ante with it's kill count and is 10x more gross/graphic than the first film. If you look at the bare bones of this film it's pretty straight forward and also pretty pointless. The Director from the first film is back for this sequel and it's been confirmed there will be a 3rd movie. My only question is why?! Who are these movies made for?! I'm a fan of horror films but this movie is really not scary nor fun but instead can be very tiresome because of the constant brutality shown on screen. Yes, from the Technical standpoint the movie is impressive with the practical effects used for the kills but that's about it. Also horror movies are supposed to be around 1 hour and 30 minutes. This particular movie was well over 2 hours. They could have trimmed a lot off of this movie. Terrifier 2 gets a mediocre 6 stars out of 10.

    Utter carnage, and a refreshing change from predictable modern horror
    After watching all the Art films, I was unsure when the trailer for this dropped that it would stay true to its roots in throwing boundaries out of the window upon hitting mainstream cinema... what a pleasant surprise I had!

    Terrifier 2 amps everything from the original up to 11; sure, the backstory to the characters is a bit thin on the ground, but I find it so refreshing that hints are dropped as breadcrumbs throughout, allowing for speculation rather than a half hour segment of individual character backstory. The gore remains wonderfully prevalent with a fresh injection of jet black humour (the original was hilarious, but moments in 2 will have fans of gore laughing out loud) and the casting is particularly good this time around.

    I personally thought the last half an hour was questionable on first viewing, but after watching the film through a second time it somehow made both more and less sense at the same time (without spoiling and being as vague as possible, I assumed the end sequence was metaphorical, but second viewing revealed I was overthinking and it's much more literal).

    Leone has absolutely mastered the delivery of 'video nasty'-esque horror to a mainstream audience, and I think it's so refreshing for a franchise direction to have no boundaries on gore, story or violence. An absolute masterpiece in black comedy and modern horror!

    The only thing terrifying is the acting
    Ok, while this movie did not suck, it was very hard to sit through, not because of the gore but because of the dull and boring plot. Though this movie has very little going for it, the gore is about all. It all looks fake and stupid but the ideas are vivid enough to make it ok. Honestly the acting sucked and the characters are very unlikable, at the end of this I was waiting for them all to die as I was so bored, I didnt care. This movie was hyped up so much like "people leave theaters vomiting" and stuff like that that by the time I watched this it was just boring and super disappointing. Honestly though this would make a decent halloween movie night! Thats it, thanks.

    Big improvement over original!
    Terrifier 2 improves over the original, which was mostly just a gore fest, by adding more plot and character development. The characters are also a tad bit smarter this time around, which helps with immersion.

    The movie seems to be heavily inspired by "Nightmare on Elm Street," just a lot gorier and A LOT more brutal and believable.

    Now the few downsides are that it is a bit too long and slow, and the acting of the boy playing the brother character is lacking, to say the least. I also didn't care much for the bizarre ending and even weirder post-credit sequence. But at least it sets up the third movie, and I'll be looking forward to its release!

    Overall - good job! I feel that we don't get enough movies like this after the 80s slasher era.

    Cult Classic
    Pure Halloween Gore Slasher Classic.

    The effects are top notch and ART THE CLOWN is one of the most fascinating characters i have seen in a long time.

    The Movie tries hard to create a story that falls very flat, but i think it's a good setup for everyone who hasn't watched the first one.

    Most of the plotholes are not explained if there even is a plot.

    The Kills are pretty eerie and hard to watch for some because the effects are purely classical and without CGI.

    Art the Clowns appearances are a nice touch and sometimes end in funny moments.

    I recommend this to anyone who wants to check out pure Slasher Gore without CGI effects.

    Good. But...
    Aside from trying to shoehorn in a plot that almost works, this movie was what you would expect after watching the first one.

    The gore was good. Art was good. But the plot felt underdeveloped.

    Was the dad psychic? Is there something supernatural going on? Why is it this one family that Art is after? What's the deal with the clown girl? Why couldn't the guy in the laundromat see her but the brother and sister can? There's so many unanswered questions that pull you out of the movie.

    This could be fixed with more plot development or, like the first movie, no real plot at all.

    There was nothing wrong with Art going on a killing spree with no real explanation. It was fun.

    With all that being said, this movie is still totally worth watching.

    The Best Horror Film of 2022, An Icon of Horror
    Terrifier 2 is brilliant, gory fun. This is NOT a film for the faint of heart as it features some of the most brutal and gory kills of any horror film in recent years. The performances in this film are fantastic. Art The Clown is a modern horror icon and Sienna is one of the best final girls in modern horror as well. The film had engaging characters and a fun story to follow with the return of Art The Clown. Even the performances of the supporting characters are great. The film is directed phenomenally and the potential for future squeals is exiting. The comedic elements of this film are extremely underrated as well. Art is so over the top in this film and despite not speaking, oozes with personality. He is the first slasher character to make such a huge splash on the horror scene in ages now. I have nothing but great things to say about this film and I recommend you see it if you enjoy horror movies and can handle/enjoy gore.

    Overhyped: Art the Clown is Cool but this Movie is Not
    I'm actually one of the people that really enjoyed the original movie and I was really interested in watching the sequel. One my main problems with Terrifier 2 is that it is too long. The original movie was short and sweet. After watching the first hour I just wanted it to end to be honest. Many people seem to think that this movie is somehow ground breaking and cool. The people that made it definitely wanted to be as edgy as possible, selling the idea that this is the most shocking horror movie ever made in recent years. The movie is full of graphic gore scenes, supposed to shock the viewer.

    I've watched like a thousand horror movies so nothing really shocks me anymore. The movie has no plot but is not necessarily a problem for me. The acting is pretty mediocre and the characters are very unlikable. The movie has some good moments, like some really smart and imaginative gore scenes and some really funny scenes but overall it was really boring, there is nothing thrilling or shocking about it. While I really like Art the Clown and I think that he has a cool design, am I excited to watch "Terrifier 3"? Not really... This is not a bad movie but it's definitely not good. Don't believe the hype. Watch it (especially if you like graphic gore) but don't expect much. My rating is 6/10.
