I must admit I’m not big fan of these movies myself, but if you’re into them I hope you’re looking forward to the next installment of this insane horror franchise. The irony is that I’m very into movies like the SAW franchise. But for some reasons the first movie touched on something in me that just didn’t sit right with me. It might be me being hypocritical for saying that the violence we see in these films are so blind that I just don’t like it. The Saw movies at least have some logic behind why these things are happening, while this series has a clown that just goes around killing people for no reason whatsoever? What’s your opinion and by all means you do not have to agree with me.

I’ve been putting off watching them, even though people keep bringing them up. Is there any good story, character, or anything besides gratuitous violence? Like, can you just not get past the insane violence to enjoy these things? Or is the entire draw that it’s incredibly violent and you “just gotta see it?”

If you’re thinking about Terrifier 3 I’ve watched the first one and it was just so insanely gory and brutal to the point where I was shocked, and I don’t easily shock that easy. I watch a lot of gory movies but the first movie shocked me so much that I’ve not touched the second and are not going to watch the third either. It’s like I wrote: they (at least the first) are so violent and brutal without reason. In my language (Norwegian) we got a term for it: blind violence. It’s just violence for the sake of violence. That’s what was my reaction and feeling about the first Terrifier. I was very impressed by what they achieved with that low budget because it was gory as hell and it was very effective.

I watched the trailer, as a friend was recommending the series, and honestly just from that I was put off. I enjoy a good gory horror film but these just appear to hit so many bad levels. It felt like the director just seemed to hate women or something.

Oh for real? Was this the red and trailer or something? I don’t think I’ve seen what would be so bad in the trailer I’m pretty sure I saw—in fact, it wasn’t memorable.

If I remember correctly in the trailer is no concept of a storyline, the acting was terrible and the bits shown were just around women panicking. It was just the trailer and it is just my opinion but it gave me bad vibes and didn’t sit right. I checked out some reviews and it seems to affirm that - though reviews do tend to be “the best ever” or “the worst ever”.

I was once recommended a Japanese horror film that was way too far, and I think that’s made me a little cautious now!
