First Terrifier 3 reviews call the horror film "big, intense" and "the best Terrifier yet"

First reviews for Terrifier 3 are coming in – and, so far, they're very positive.

The threequel is set during Christmastime, and it sees Art the Clown return to wreak more havoc. We don't think he's got the holiday spirit, to be honest…

There's not enough reviews for a Rotten Tomatoes score just yet, but, as it stands, they're mostly praising the slasher. "It's the best Terrifier yet, just in time to make your Christmas bloodier," writes AV Club.

"Leone's passion for pure, unfiltered shock value is truly on display. As messed up as it is, and as offended as you may be by it, it's hard not to respect it. It's a big, intense, and freaking insane exercise in blood-soaked mania," is the verdict of io9.

"Terrifier 3 is the best Terrifier movie yet, and one that turns murder into an Art-form," says Dexerto.

There is, however, one negative review so far: "Terrifier 3 offers some satisfying kills and incredible practical effects, but with a runtime of over two hours, that's unlikely to satisfy anyone beyond the franchise's core fans," is FandomWire's take.

  • People not a fan of Terrifier? Am I missing something?

    I'm excited. We just watched the short film, 1, and 2 back to back to back. The short film didn't have enough story, the second tried too hard with metaphors, but 1 hit just right. They were all enjoyable in their own right, I just felt so fucking lost the entire time with 2.

    I find it pretty interesting it is set around Christmas. Being on Halloween every time allowed Art to just roam around with out too much question. Until he starts being fucking weird of course

      Taste is subjective. I'm not the biggest fan of slashers myself but am booked in for the Terrifier double bill on Friday. That said, I am not a fan of FandomWire and will tend to avoid using it here.

      He does appear to be dressed as Santa, which gives you some way to suspend belief. Works for me as the reason I found out that:

      Santa wasn't real

      was because I thought he'd killed my Dad and stolen his shoes, when it turned out the Wellington boots he'd been given with the outfit were too small.

      • I guess that was my implication with am I missing something. Unsure if people didn't like the source posted. I'm just trying to learn

        Art Clause should be a great time. That's sweet in a sad way about how you found out. I needed a notebook for school and we were in a hurry, so she just grabbed one real quick. Had the Christmas list with what was from who, including Santa, in it
