Coming to digital on 30th March 2018 and then DVD 9th April 2018 is the horror movie Terrifier. The film is a hair-raising homage to the grindhouse slashers – a thrilling, gory horror that introduces a new murderous icon in the form of Art the Clown.
With Art the Clown, Damien Leone really does have an icon in the making with the potential to break out. Forget Pennywise, this maniac clown is an absolute work of horror Art.
In Terrifier, Leone pays homage to gory horror classics, really going all out on the viscera as his actors are stalked, hacked and slashed by the most fear-inducing clown to grace film. He’s played to perfection by David Howard Thornton, who doesn’t let a single sound escape his lips. Instead, Thornton’s Art is all creepy movements and sinister smiles that will stay with you long after the film is finished.
The plot is the perfect foil for Leone’s brutal murder set pieces as two women catch Art’s evil eye while they try to get home from a Halloween party. Thus begins a night of terror as the clown kills anyone who comes between him and them. It’s popcorn horror at it’s best and will keep you gripped right up to the grisly finale. The gore effects are more than enough to keep horror hounds satisfied and the murders definitely go to some unexpected places, keeping even the most jaded genre fans happy. Art doesn’t care who he kills as he pursues his targets, and he is deliciously cruel, viciously butchering his victims without wasting time on wisecracks – staying silent and creating horror Art.
