Review
The make-up effects are even
more impressive, the story a little more elaborate, and the running time
has increased considerably... but has Damian Leone's sequel become a
better film than his
Terrifier from 2016? Well, only if
you really enjoy torture and body horror. Leone again demonstrates his
remarkable savvy for being able to make almost any act of mutilation of
the human body look (mostly) realistic. But if you during the film's
fairly engaging first half are tricked into believing the story weaved
around it all is in any way groundbreaking, or that the character arcs
would turn out to be any more substantial than
'tormented-young-female-finds-her-inner-strength', then you are sadly
mistaken. And this makes the repeated killings and horror of
Terrifier 2 wear thin well before the 138 minute mark. The character
of Art the Clown still is a rather amusing devil, though.
