SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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.

Beyond bad. Don't even now what this is suppose to be.

Not an original idea here, cannot be killed, everyone gets a chance to do him in but flees, appears out of nowhere, always the right place. Just off camera at all times. No one is smart enough to phone for help, even when warned. Amazing amount af victims for late, late Halloween. Cheap, and shi%#y.

This is supposed to be a horror movie not just a movie with literally 0 jump scares (at least for me) found this very boring and really bad made, they had the chance to kill him like 100 billion times and all they did was knock him out and run away just to find the all the door locked not to mention the way every character came into play in the right moment 1 by 1, and I don't really get what kind of entity is the killer, is he a sort of immortal being? or why did he revive? too silly for me.
