Terrifier 3 (2024)
Genre should be 'Gorror' which indicates massive gore in a 'horror' movie.
This movie was exactly that, a GORROR (not horror) movie and not much else. The younger crowds will appreciate the practical effects sans any story what so ever. There is none, particularly in this blender frack of a movie.
Terrifer 3 gave about 5-7 minutes of a back story that told us very little. There is a bit more of the sy/fy nonsense or supernatural nonsense that clouds things up maybe leading us to a prequal or a headache. I am not sure which.
Leone needs to take a step back and realize there is a way to make less gore more horrific. This movie is like that one hooker who gave it away free as she came clamouring up to your car completely naked. In other words, what's next if everything is just given to you in spades?
Terrifier 4, god forbid, lol should have a title as opposed to the generic whatever 4 or whatever 5. TERRIFIER 4EVER CARNAGE or 4TUNATELY TERRIFIED...yadda yadda.
We need a new(er) story and we need to be frightened along the journey. We know you know practical effects and how to spill blood and guts but do you REALLY know how to TERRIFY us using half of what you used this last time...although it would be to a greater affect?
I loved Terrifier and I did appreciate Terrifier 2, although something was missing. Terrifier 3 had an opportunity to wrap everything up with a pretty bow (pardon the pun) but did nothing of the sort. Why not do a Director's cut where you eliminate everything but the gore and carnage. You'd still get about an hour for such a movie which might be better than the convoluted story we did get with the full version.
This is definitely a horror/gorror movie for the younger connoisseurs in the 14-20 age range. Sometimes less is more which is difficult to explain to some people. Personally I give this movie a .5 which is half of one point although I averaged out my rating with the first two in the series. I'll tell you what, if Dommy Leone doesn't tighten it up a bit and take this movie series more seriously he's going to ruin it all.
90 minutes not 125.
Less unnecessary gore and more build up and tension. You don't need the brightest bulb in the pack for every gore scene. Also, using your imagination as a viewer is a good thing. T3 lacked any of that. If the next part can shake off it's...all in your face regardless of your face's thoughts...then perhaps the series can have a rebirth with a part 5 sometime around 2030.
