Strictly for hardcore horror fans, though I can see this also becoming a huge “dare you to watch it” event for the uninitiated. We haven’t had a movie this dangerous in the theaters in a long time, and its presence is both important and historical in the history of extreme cinema. This movie will bite your face off.

Terrifier 2 feels like it was destined to be the ultimate overkill horror movie, and whatever else it might turn out to be, it’s certainly not forgettable. Read full review

Terrifier 2 rips, tears, hacks, shreds, butchers, disembowels, decapitates, devours, pulverizes, tenderizes, slices, dices, skewers — I'm missing plenty — and knock-em-out-dead eviscerates the current competition when it comes to low-budget slasher effects. Read full review

It’s hard not to admire a filmmaking team asking you to endure such a prolonged amount of ruthless, blood-splattering bad taste. It indulges in all of its innate, nasty impulses, and then just keeps going (… and going …). Read full review

You might argue there's no redeeming value to any of this, and I won't fight you on that. And yet, the "everything and the kitchen sink" vibe of the whole thing renders Terrifier 2 an above-average slasher extravaganza. Watching this gives one the sense that they're watching something new, and that's a feeling you just can't beat. Whatever bloody adventure Art the Clown gets up to next, I'll be sure to watch.

Terrifier 2 is not for everyone, but this tasteless wonder meets nauseating expectations. Read full review

Terrifier 2 is essentially a series of grotesque homicidal set pieces stitched together into a threadbare narrative of midnight funhouse clichés. Read full review

A passionate display of sheer and utter depravity, Damien Leone's pure love for the genre is felt in every frame. The man is a virtuoso of special effects, and he delivers carnage in VATS, crafting some of the most gloriously gut-wrenching and wholly ingenious set pieces I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. And it's all brought together by David Howard Thornton's bigger-than-life performance as Art the Clown (made even bigger on the big screen), and Elliott Fullam's and Lauren LaVera's welcome amount of heart.… Expand

One of the scariets horror movies ever, my favourite from now on and love that Art the clown doesn't talk, it just makes it more scary.

Damien Leone sabe o produto que tem em mãos e tem habilidade para criar a atmosfera necessária à imersão. O palhaço é sádico e divertido ao mesmo tempo, e já nas primeiras cenas mostra a que veio, não é um filme de muita enrolação.

Há também uma família com um casal de filhos e uma mãe, pois o pai morrera. Mesmo se tratando de um slasher, ficou muito a cima da média a caracterização dos personagens, especialmente dos filhos, e por um momento não sabemos exatamente a que os jovens vieram.
Mas não há espaço para muito drama, o sangue toma conta das telas. Claro que há diversas passagens com muitas concessões, o vilão surgindo e reaparecendo do nada, visões que se confundem com a realidade, sonhos, vários e vários clichês, um final com reviravoltas cansativas e toscas. Mas quem se importa? As mortes são espantosamente gostosas de se acompanhar, como no primeiro "A premonição", e como dito anteriormente, não demoram a acontecer. E apesar de um pouco mais de duas horas, o filme passa voando.
Um detalhe: há uma cena pós-crédito bem interessante, que mescla muito bem o terror psicológico. Portanto, não é apenas um slasher, mas um exemplar muito bom de um filme eficiente, simples, com roteiro básico, e que consegue transmitir sua mensagem.… Expand

Was disappointed after watching the first movie, so i didn't expect much from the second movie. Tho gore, the clown and the actors were good. But the decisions the charakter made were as stupid as in the first movie. And in one scene it was not logic at all that the one person didn't fall inWas disappointed after watching the first movie, so i didn't expect much from the second movie. Tho gore, the clown and the actors were good. But the decisions the charakter made were as stupid as in the first movie. And in one scene it was not logic at all that the one person didn't fall in a coma after the first torture. No the character stayed awake and screamed until the clown finally killed him.
Every minute felt like wasting my time and 2h are way too long.… Expand

Art the clown is a legend and the gore can be entertaining. The movie, however, is nothing sort of an absolute mess. The story is borderline incoherent and the movie runs a good 30 minutes too long. It was too complicated for its own good.

In fact, this is not good and not scary. They just kill people. This is the focus of the story and the roles of the characters are asleep, not real
