Sorry, this movie sucks

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Throwback to the slashers of the early eighties, this becomes mundane instead of nostalgic. Could have been better if it hadn't killed the only interesting and personable character (Tara) half way through.Art the Clown is creepy but to compare him to Pennywise is baffling!All in all watchable but to be honest, if you're an old school horror fan, absolutely nothing you haven't seen before

A killer in a black and white clown costume is terrorizing a pair of young women and anyone unlucky enough to get in his way in this revential throwback to slasher films of the 80s and 90s. Which sounds like generic straight-to-video mockbuster fodder is a surprisingly stylish and creative dark comedy thriller that actually has a few genuinely chilling moments. While still a low-budget film, Terrifier largely has a very professional sensibility. Visual design, music, lighting and editing are all above average; blending brooding synthesizers and neon lights with digital video and modern gore effects with surprise effectiveness.Art the Clown himself is a genuinely unnerving creation. A great performance by David Howard Thornton who truly disappears into the role. Art's silence is at times alarming, as when he gets injured and stretched his mouth out as if screaming but makes no sound. He combines mime and slapstick with menace in a way that feels fresh. If any modern horror character has potential for a franchise, this is it. There's something eerily magnetic and frightening about the character, made only more so by the lack information we are given about him and his motives. We don't know what he is capable of or why, only that he is on a specific mission of torture. The film is not without its flaws. There are some moments where the acting is a bit stilted. There is a particularly good performance, notably from Jenna Kanell who shows a lot of scream queen promise. Despite some of the stilted line readings, the dialogue is generally pretty good with a natural sensibility towards dialogue that makes the characters feel like actual people and not stereotypes as if often the case in modern slasher films. This tendency towards naturalism underscores the surrealism of Art the Clown's existence, making for an effectively unsettling contrast.Terrifier represents an infusion of fresh blood into a stagnating genre. With a larger budget and studio support, Art the Clown could be something really special. It's important to have a villian who isn't toned down, who represents something pure and evil. The faintest glimmer of humanity in the clown sadistic antics seems to suggest something that was once a person, but is now a creature that lives to terrorize, making any attempts to reason with him all the more absurd. This is a semi-sequel to the film, "All Hallow's Eve" in which the character of Art first appeared but it may be better to assume the two are not canonically connected. First film aside, this is the most promising debut for a horror director in a while. Someone please, throw all the money at this, I, for one, Can't wait to see what happens next. With a little more polish and support this franchise could be something really special. If anything, it should lead to more films from a clearly talented director.

A mute clown kills people on Halloween. No real back story is given. Related to the film "All Hollow's Eve" although that film was so long ago, they really needed some kind of recap to let us know. The woman cut in half jiggled like rubber and I am not sure you can cut that much bone with a hacksaw blade. It would have been good if the clown had a pantomime act. Tara (Jenna Kanell) comes across as the final girl. Without a back story the film was rather plot-less. Blood, clown, disfigured face. Guide: F-word. Nudity (Catherine Corcoran, Pooya Mohseni or body fakes)

This film has the scariest clown I have ever seen, he is disgusting, evil, sadistic with no empathy for what he does. When he just stares at people he's creepy as hell and then that smile so repulsive and wicked, he kills his victims smirking away like a demented demon you so want the victims to get away and that clown face gets his comeuppance but no of course not. By the end of the film I feel is his face his real face as it seems to look so real how can it be just makeup and a false nose with his bloody teeth. At the end he shoots himself but in the morgue awakes like Jason vorhees to kill the mortician so part 2will be made?
