Critics Have Seen Terrifier 3, And Art The Clown Is Decking The Halls With ‘Gleeful Nastiness’ This Spooky Season



Terrifier 2 became infamous during its 2022 theatrical run for causing moviegoers to vomit or pass out in the theater, and Damien Leone is leaning into that with a third installment of the horror series hitting the 2024 movie calendar. Art the Clown is back in the new sequel Terrifier 3, a Christmas-centered story that will continue to follow the survivors of the first two movies as well as the killer clown. Critics have seen the upcoming horror movie, and there’s no indication Leone has toned down the gore.

The bloody opening sequence alone is causing walkouts, and after watching Art the Clown play with blood in the trailer, it’s not hard to imagine why. David Howard Thornton is back in the role of the murderer, with Lauren LaVera, Elliot Fullam and Samantha Scaffidi also reprising their roles from the first movies. Let’s see what critics are saying, starting with CinemaBlend’s review of Terrifier 3. Nick Venable rates the slasher flick 3.5 stars out of 5, calling the film a jubilantly gruesome gorefest. He says:

Shifting the holiday-specific shenanigans from Halloween to Christmas, Terrifier 3 definitely comes across as a step up from the first two films by way of production design, location changes, and number of ways to completely fuck up victim’s bodies. We also get honest-to-goodness B-movie cameos even outside of Chris Jericho’s return, causing a few ‘pinch me’ moments to make sure it isn’t all just a tinsel-covered fever dream.
