Terrifier 2 (2022): Damien Leone’s Sequel Better than the Original

Terrifier 2: David Howard Thornton, 2022.

Terrifier 2 is an indie slasher movie that, almost out of nowhere, became a horror phenomenon that filled our nightmares with visions of Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton).

The first film, Terrifier (2016) was an experiment in practical effects, anchored by a very thin story.

But Leone took the criticisms of that film in a constructive way and used them to create an epic slasher movie that pits Art the Clown against the ultimate final girl, Sienna (Lauren LaVera).

In characterization, execution, lore and gore, Terrifier 2 improved considerably vis-a-vis the original.
