A generic horror/slasher film with an absolutely creepy villain. Some parts made me chuckle just from the cliches. However, this film isn't necessarily a weak feature. The villain is more than passable, the characters aren't as cardboard as IA generic horror/slasher film with an absolutely creepy villain. Some parts made me chuckle just from the cliches. However, this film isn't necessarily a weak feature. The villain is more than passable, the characters aren't as cardboard as I expected, and the gore is grotesque enough to make anyone squirm in their seat. If you want a cheesy gory film to bring back the nostalgia of the 80's this is it.… Expand

The characters in this movie aren't dumb. The first act builds itself up nicely with some brilliant set pieces and interesting character development.

The first act builds itself up nicely with some brilliant set pieces and interesting character development. But when the second act comes, you begin to know this movie is purely out to please its gorefest slasher fan boys and the mediocrity starts to show.

It's unfortunate because I wanted to like this movie a lot. Almost every time the clown reveals itself, its posture, face, and overall demeanor you don't expect. It entertained me each time until the second act. The first act = 8/10

The last act = 2/10

Total score = 6/10. Somewhat recommend.… Expand

The guy is creepy no doubt about that, but to be completely honest the film as a whole was very generic.

I honestly didn't like this movie, it was a simple and bad slasher movie. But, the only things that safe the movie from being awful, are the clown's acting, because itself it's creepy yet entertaining, and finally the gore, if you love to seeI honestly didn't like this movie, it was a simple and bad slasher movie.

The villain was great and honestly, He's the only thing about this movie worth watching. There's no real story and as a whole, It's pretty generic. And the production value is pretty awful at times.

He showed up quickly though, which I wasn't expecting. On the one hand, there's not much to be surprised about when the film is just over an hour and a quarter long. So it doesn't keep you waiting and the pace is fast. That said, there's always something going on, which is good because I wasn't bored for a moment. On the plus side, there is a downside, but I'll get to that. As I mentioned, the clown himself was really excellent. I really liked his mask. Without a doubt one of the best horror clowns. What added to his charm was that he didn't talk at all, so it worked very well at some points, meant for the horror genre. What I have to praise at least for myself are the brutal scenes. I like such grittier moments, but for some it might be more of a nuisance, because this was perhaps the most brutal horror film I've ever seen. I'm not saying there aren't grittier ones. Not at all. I've seen quite a few horror movies, so I believe there are some that are several times grittier. I'm just saying that I haven't experienced a rougher one yet, because a lot of the scenes here are, shall we say, watchable and the camera doesn't switch positions. For this I give a thumbs up that the film wasn't afraid to show such scenes. To sum up. The clown and the brutality pulled the whole movie for me. They were the main aspects that made it not bad in the final. These 2 factors worked very well here in my opinion, but still not enough to make this movie deserve any better rating. As I mentioned before, the film is fast paced. Something is constantly happening and it ends soon. I think that's a shame in the end though, because what this horror film lacks the most in my opinion is some deeper plot that would have made it a bit more interesting. Then again, this could have been a really good horror film and although I don't think Terrifier is bad at all, the lack of story brings it down and so for me this is an above average film that I would only recommend to horror fans.… Expand

It feels like an 80s slasher movie and the villian is played perfectly. But the characters are so stupid. Every decision they made robbed me the enjoyment to watch the film until the end.
