Verdict on Terrifier 3
Terrifier 3 is a horror sequel continuing the rampage of Art the Clown. We have moved forward five years and Art has returned, as Sienna looks to continue her life. However, he hasn’t finished with her yet and the two come to another showdown to stop his latest rampage.
This third outing does dive into survivors’ guilt after a massacre. It shows the lasting effects on the victim and everyone around them. There is more depth into the origin of Art and Sienna’s powers. However, it ends up putting far too much focus on showing off the gore. It holds nothing back but keeps the two apart for far too long. The effects can’t be faulted, and the work put into should always be praised.
Final Thoughts –Terrifier 3 brings the bloodbath to cover the thin story progression.
