After directing the bloody Terrifier In 2016, director Damien Leone brings villain Art the Clown (Art the Clown) back to life in the sequel Terrifier 2, violent slasher/gore centered on the psychopathic clown (played again by David Howard Thornton) who has now become a true horror icon.
The director feeds genre fanatics with an unforgettable film that is among the most brutal ever made in recent years and whose viewing may be unbearable for many because of the long chain of gratuitous violence that underlies it.
Splatter and gore are a constant in this work, which pays homage to and reinvigorates the slasher subgenre thanks to an exemplary homicidal maniac who, in the company of the specter of a little girl disguised as a clown, enacts a staggering slaughter by making use of various blunt objects.
Inhuman, the diabolical villain wears a costume on which the blood of numerous victims goes to accumulate, while the crescendo of tension and violence are dampened by an ironic vein inherent in the character and which is unleashed By his farcical character mimicry.
The story sheds light on Art the Clown, who, after being resurrected by a sinister entity, returns to Miles County where, on Halloween night, he targets Sienna (Lauren LaVera) and her brother Jonathan (Elliott Fullam), both of whom are haunted by the massacre that took place exactly one year earlier in their town by the clown. From that point on, several murders will occur in the town, and upon discovering the true nature of the evil killer, the two siblings will have to fight to stay alive.
Terrifier 2 is full of bloody action made effective by a great deal of very efficient practical effects and enjoys an overwhelming story that aims to immortalize a bloody world, a cauldron of heinousness in which the eyeball extraction, the circus shooting and the butchering of Allie's (Casey Hartnett) body converge. The girl, Sienna's friend, is in fact scarred, stripped of her scalp (incredible homage to Maniac), stabbed and skinned alive. The clown's horror show also includes broken bones and dismembered limbs, resulting in a succulent excess of bodily martyrdom.
Terrifier 2 is a cluster of violence, a gruesome and merciless slasher thick with splatter and gore. Loaded with Eighties charm (thanks in part to the synthwave soundtrack) and homages to cult favorites of the past such as Nightmare and Maniac, Damien Leone's film is among the most powerful titles ever made.
In the cast of Terrifier 2: Lauren LaVera (Clinton Road), David Howard Thornton, Samantha Scaffidi, Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Jason Lively (Dimension Terror) and Tamara Glynn (Halloween 5 - The Revenge of Michael Myers).
