Terrifier 2

Terrifier 2 is a massive improvement over its parent film but doesn't quite do enough to move the needle for me. From the get-go, this films tone and quality is drastically superior to the previous entry. The writing gives characters room to develop, and audiences can actually grow attached to characters in way that was blatantly absent from the first film. I enjoyed the added lore for Art that was sprinkled throughout, adds a level of depth to the newly founded horror icon. The writing allows for much more creative kills and set pieces, with the story taking place across an entire town rather than one claustrophobic apartment building. But with all those improvements, there are still lingering problems that carried over from the first fi...

I liked the first Terrifier movie better. This one just seemed to be an excuse to show blood and gore and there was a lot of wasted time on dream sequences (or, rather, nightmares).

Art the Clown is as creepy and vicious as ever but there's just not enough story to support the very long running time (it's over two hours!).

Not recommended.

David Howard Thornton is back as Art the Clown in Damien Leones Terrifier 2. Art is resurrected and sets his sights on a brother and sister on Halloween. I couldnt wait to watch this!

Positives:

The kills. Very brutal and gory. I would say bloodier than the first. I think there is more of a story than in the first Terrifier. More character development with the brother and sister.

Negatives

I think 2 hrs 18 mins is way too long. I feel that in the middle it was a little slow and could have been cut. I was hoping for more of a backstory of Art the Clown but they spent more time on the brother and sister than him. Does Terrifier 2 fit into the Terrifier franchise? Yes. If you enjoyed the first movie you should watch Terrifier 2...
