IndieWireAlison ForemanSep 26, 2024
Terrifier 3 is decking the halls with a triumphant celebration that’s horrifying for all the right reasons and snaps into focus what it is that Leone does singularly well. That may or may not win people over, but it shouldn’t lose any repeat customers. Read full review

The Irish TimesTara BradyJan 2, 2025
This is a Terrifier movie: everything is bigger and scarier, including the psychological damage. Read full review

Little White LiesCharles BramescoOct 11, 2024
There’s something curious and pure about the way Leone disassembles bodies, like a child breaking open an old VCR not to see how it works, but to survey and play with the complicated stuff inside. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMarco Vito OddoOct 10, 2024
Terrifier 3 marks a significant evolution in the franchise. Director Damien Leone delivers the most vicious iteration of Art the Clown yet, while also maturing as a filmmaker and providing a solid foundation for future installments. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerOct 10, 2024
The Nightmare Before Christmas said that it’s all right to wrap a few scares up under the Christmas tree. Terrifier 3, the latest in the extreme gore franchise, sets fire to the decorations, cuts off your eyelids, and makes you watch the whole house burn. Read full review

Slant MagazineRocco T. ThompsonSep 23, 2024
Primarily a vehicle for inventive and wince-inducing practical effects that best anything to be found in a 1980s-era Italian gorefest or the Saw franchise, Terrifier 3 continues the series’s trend of dotting a sparse and sinuous thread of plot with mini-masterpieces of cinematic ultraviolence.

VarietyOwen GleibermanOct 10, 2024
Thornton gives a hell of a performance, like Marcel Marceau inhabited by the fiendish spirit of Charles Manson, with a touch of Divine. In his silent-clown way, he imitates ordinary human emotion — the grins and wide-eyed surprise, the innocent moués, the cartoon-sad frowns — with a stylized frivolity. Read full review

This is a movie that sets out on its own dark mission, and accomplishes that mission with a skill that is undeniable. Read full review
