What to Know

Critics Consensus

All about the splashy kills, Terrifier artfully introduces the unpredictable massacrer mime Art, yet fails to carve an entertaining story worthy of his wrath.

Terrifier | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Anton Bitel Sight & Sound Thornton stays in rôle as fun-loving mime artist, so that all his slayings involve an unnerving combination of predatory sadism & popular performance. This makes him a perfect vehicle for the paradoxes of horror (as) entertainment. Nov 7, 2017 Full Review Terrifier | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Leone’s passion and craftsmanship come together to make an effectively eerie, occasionally shocking, and surprisingly funny splatter film that set the table for the unlikely franchise that we have today. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Terrifier | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Repulsive, shocking, and disturbingly funny, even a little nihilistic in its single-minded ambitions. Terrifier doesn’t give the viewer much to chew on, but even the most desensitized horror fanatic will watch in horrible awe at what Leone has created Rated: 3/4 Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Terrifier | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rocco T. Thompson Rue Morgue Magazine As a pure, gross, down ‘n dirty experience in abject cruelty that keeps its tongue firmly buried in cheek, Terrifier is successful. Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Terrifier | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Randy Meeks Espinof Simply, Terrifier, ends up being more fatiguing than scary. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Terrifier | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Once you figure out there's not going to be anything to it aside from being a bloody calling card, you kind of just sigh and wait for it to be over.

Thomas We took someone to see this as their first horror film in theaters ever and they thoroughly enjoyed it as much as you can enjoy a brutal horror film. The first Terrifier is more intense than the sequel as Art basically beats everyone he runs into where as the sequel has more of a hero. Both are solid for what they offer and the effects are unreal. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Alicia I loved seeing this re release of terrifier. I cant wait for more!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Maribel Amazing slasher film! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Conall RT Art deserves nothing less than the big screen, and this re-release definitely did him justice. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Mattskilletguy Absolutely amazing! Loved seeing Art the clown on the big screen. Especially during that hacksaw scene. A true Horror icon 🔥 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Jacob Extremely cool and stylish slasher with soul and a twisted sense of humor.
