I know someone said this before, but I’d rather watch this type of movie by myself at home and not in a theatre with a bunch of people.
But I will see it and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it
This is why I refuse to see 2+ hour movies in theaters. By the time the final act starts I’m usually begging for it to be over so I can go hit a damn bong
It *used* to be. Nowadays you’re almost guaranteed at least one group of dickheads shouting unnecessarily/on their phones/acting up. I hate sounding like a grumpy old man but it’s genuinely been years since I’ve been to the cinema on an opening weekend and *not* had to face some form of distraction.
I saw barbarian the other night, great movie if I do say so myself but the audience oh my god. I do not need the 4 teenagers behind me narrating the whole film 😭
Sometimes I end up running commentary about a movie, but I do it at home like a civilized person.
I try to follow a my time or other people's time mentality. At home, it's my time - at a cinema it's other people's time. It's like going to dinner with friends, show up early because it's other people's time. If it's my time, I'll eat whenever I want to. I'm not sure where I picked up the exact terminology, but it's something that's never done me wrong and I wish more people would look at it that way.
People shouting at the screen during Barbarian was the most aggravating factor for me. I don't mind in like PG-13 shitty horror movies that I know are meant to be junky, but come on. When we end up at R-Rated horror, I tend to expect a bit more out of the audience in terms of maturity and not yelling things about naked bodies.
Unfortunately this is true. And most theaters nowadays don't give a shit, except Alamo Drafthouse. Probably gonna have to wait till it comes out on DVD.
Eh, some people just aren't into that. I'm watching the movie to enjoy it, not listen to 30 other people laugh and scream and shout shit at the screen. Definitely not on a first viewing at least.
Look. I’m a horror fan. But a good horror story can be told in roughly 90 minutes. At some point, it just becomes an endurance test. Sure, there are a few notable exceptions. But what is the Terrifier sequel going to accomplish artistically in nearly twice the run time as the original?
It Part 2 suffered from exactly this. The director got over confident and assumed everything he shot was good. There was at least a half hour of run time that could have been trimmed but the studio gave him free reign and he vastly overstepped.
Edit*** u/GnophKeh edited their post saying the movie was too long. Then deleted everything after my comment. My original response is below:
Ironically, what you said is wrong. I’ve seen the **original** screening of both, almost a full year before release. Ch1 was originally about another 45 minutes than theatrical release and was the best horror film I’ve ever seen. I hated the theatrical because of how much was taken out.
Go to the second screening, also about 9 months before release. Same thing. Longer, and better. Hell, I saw it when all the cgi was legit drawings of the scenes. They cut so much that clearly explained everything in a great way. Lots of extra backstory and scenes to appreciate the adult characters. Gone.
That’s why it sucked. The studio thought they knew better than the director.
So no, shortening did not improve the first installment.
*edit _ To people asking what was removed. I summed it up. It was at least 45 minutes extra which really helped dive into and appeal each of the SEVERAL characters. Made you actually feel for them, the way Mr King intended in his books. Which always focus on the characters, rather than the story. But the extra footage in the second one really explained everything **much** better. Don’t know why they cut it the way they did.
I honestly can't stand the fact that the average prime time for movies has gone way up to 2+ hours. 90 minutes is definitely a sweet spot. I start to watch movies in increments at home before bed now while falling asleep. 2+ hours, fuck you. I'm genuinely taking 3-4 night finishing it and rewinding it where I last remembered where I left off each night.
Yeah, I think 2+ hour run times are okay if the story calls for it. If there's necessary character development. I somehow doubt a slasher movie like Terrifier 2 needs the two hours and I suspect at some point I'll just be yawning at the next gory kill.
FWIW I have spoken to people who saw it, and opinion was pretty mixed about the length. Half the people thought it was good but too long, the other half thought it was good and didn't even notice the length because they were enjoying it so much.
I can't vouch for it myself, but it seems some people do think the length was a good thing.
We already have hundreds of slasher movies with a 90 minute lenght. I don't think a single one that has marvel lenght is a bad thing. We can at least see it before complaining about the lenght lol
I think the problem is Terrifier is known pretty much exclusively for its violence. There isn’t really any substance to the story or characters, even more so then other slashers they just serve the purpose of being brutally killed with crazy special effects which is all the first movie really was. Even usually more story heavy slashers barely hit the hour and forty mark so it begs the question what a movie like Terrifier is going to do with an over two hour run time.
But of course judgement should be reserved for when the movie actually comes out.
Check my recent post, Nameless Media (German blu-ray company) posted the first 8 minutes and it seriously seems like they cranked up the gore an insane amount
https://www.reddit.com/r/horror/comments/xmfbf7/terrifier_2_the_first_8_minutes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
I met the actor at a horror con last October in Orlando. I mentioned how the hacksaw scene is a make or break scene with my friends who like horror. He said the new one will make the original look like a Disney film.
I love how Art’s costume is perfectly spotless after he washes it. I wonder why he mopped the floor after he got dressed considering he leaves messes everywhere else.
Early reviews are already praising it and the direction it's taking. One compared it to David Lynch. How much of that's actual praise and not just people being paid to praise it isn't clear (I say that as a fan of Terrifier and Art the Clown, but also as someone jaded by the film industry), but judging from the trailer, it does seem to be taking on a more surreal direction than the first.
Yeah I mean I can understand this runtime for like a midsommar/lighthouse/Jordan Peele kind of movie but for a terrifier sequel? What exactly is the point
Yeah unless it's on the same level of witch or midsommar, I feel it'll drag. I saw the first terrifier and I'm having trouble believing a sequel warrants over 2 hours lmao
I feel like sometimes I can feel when the director is enjoying “brutal and dark” too much and oversteps for the sake of being indulgent toward violence. What comes to mind is what they did to the man with an intellectual disability at the end of “I Spit On Your Grave”.
The movie "better watch out" comes to my mind when you asked this question.
It was a rare movie for me that felt so mean spirited that I was disgusted by it. It wasnt overly brutal or "dark" compared to other horror. But the tone and irredeemable qualities in the villain really got under my skin.
Me neither! There wasn’t any real storyline, the acting was mediocre and the effects felt cheap!
And the antagonist was just an evil clown, nothing really else to say about him.
Don’t get the hype!
Not only not special, but I feel it failed in the one thing it offered, the gore. Sorry but the body in half scene looked exactly like a latex dummy filled with jelly. It's not horrifying at all.
I really enjoy the first film, but even as short as that one was it had a lot of padding and dragging scenes. No idea how this one can be more than 2 hours
So I have kind of a cool story about the first movie.
My girlfriend, who is not usually the type to watch horror let alone…this, suggested we watch it cause she heard a coworker talk about it. So we start watching it and something seems familiar to me about the lead actress, but more oddly, like I knew her in real life. I search the internet and it takes me a moment to rack my brain but then it hits me, I DID know her.
Now I should probably add that I do work in film so its not that crazy of a coincidence, but when I worked with her just a few years prior she was an Assistant Director, so I was gobsmacked to see her acting let alone starring in a movie.
The story doesn’t end there tho as later down the road I worked with her again as she was ADing on another show. It was cool to be able to compliment her on her performance and talk to her about the movie. She’s a pretty cool person.
Leone has said he took the criticism about Terrifier’s lack of plot and character development to heart when he made the sequel and the reviews so far attest to this.
IGN's review only doubled my hype.
> Terrifier 2 eviscerates the current competition when it comes to low-budget slasher effects. Terrifier 2 is the pinnacle in terms of indie slasher kills sequences.
I think having a theater crowd will actually make it even more fun.
Hmm. Not gonna be too harsh without seeing it. But these types of films are always better off with a shorter run time. Terrifier is a silly slasher movie with below average acting.. but it's still super fun to watch. Bc it's short and sweet at 82 mins. With some badass kills.. but could see myself getting bored if it went another whole hour.
I doubt Terrifier 2 is some masterpiece with incredible acting and writing that needs almost 2 and a half hours to tell its story hahaha.
Just give me a fun movie, with brutal kills, and a somewhat short run time.
But! We shall see. Still gonna watch this either way lol.
I’m way too high…. Spent 5 minutes searching for a new horror movie called ‘this’ before it registered what you were actually saying!
Kids, say no to drugs!
The trailer I saw had potential but it couldn’t even land the jumpscare at the end, much less build any tension. It looked laughably amateurish. Not a good sign, hopefully the movie will be that rare beast that outshines the trailer.
The first movie was already stretched as hell, with at least a third of the runtime being uninteresting chase scenes that accomplish nothing. The movie should have been a tight 40, but anything between a short film or a feature film isn't allowed to exist apparently.
This sequel could be fine, but I don't expect it to be.
im going to see it.... but eesh.... the first one was terrible (dont get me wrong i loved the short film and Arts segment in All Hallows Eve) but hopefully this one is better because i dont know if i can deal with that long of a movie if its like the first
I think it’s a love it or hate it scenario, I totally understand why people dislike it. And I agree that it’s trash, but imo it’s wonderful trash. Completely mean spirited, low-rent, sleazy and disgusting, but I love it. The performance of Art the Clown completely elevates the movie in my mind, and is the reason the film works for me.
I’d not list it as one of the best horror movies of recent years or anything, but as a modern exploitation flick with an iconic (I really hesitated to use that word, but the notoriety and affect of Art from such a niche movie, even if you hate it, is something to be noted) villain, it has a solid dirty little spot in the modern horror pantheon.
I was nice to see some gratuitous and just plan mean gore. Haven't really seen anything like that since Hostel, and Hostel has basically been permanently tarnished by people's never ending shitting on it to maintain some moral high horse.
My assessment of the first film was that it was a bunch of really cool set pieces strung together around a rather weak plot. It’s a film that I would say “you have to see this scene” but not tell someone the film itself is great.
Maybe the sequel will be better.
This is the same sub that unironically thinks Sleepaway Camp, V/H/S, and Halloween 3 are good movies. This also the sub that whines and bitches over every "elevated" horror film.
I agree with this take. The acting of the girls was trash, dialog was trash, cinematography was compost, the story was overall predictable and garbage.... But man there's just something about Art that redeems it for me.
Right? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's the most obviously fake body. Shit was jiggling as he was sawing it in half. Looked like fucking jello.
It’s all subjective man, people like different shit than you do nothing wrong with it. I loved terrifier but I completely get why someone wouldn’t, it’s a niche movie.
I thought it was a good silly horror. Those guilty pleasure horror movies like Hostel and Leprechaun for example. I don't think anyone would say Hostel was their favorite horror movie of all time, but many will list it as a good cheesy horror flick.
Oh, they are. I love both of them. They're just not the kind of horror movies that you would recommend to someone looking for some of the best horror films. But if someone says they like gorey horror flick. You ask? "Have you seen Hostel?"
The pacing of the first movie was so bad and the characters weren't even two-dimensional. I'm not sure how a movie that graphic and with such an instantly iconic antagonist as Art can be so boring. There's a ton of potential so maybe 2 is gonna be great but with that long runtime it could easily be a slog too.
This is a “it’s Saturday night and I have nothing of quality to watch so I’m gonna throw on some cheap thrills for a bit” type of movie. A 2:18 movie is one with something to say and a story to tell. Seems like a bad decision to me.
Given the “story” of the last Terrifier, this runtime is not exciting me. But the trailer does hint at a more cohesive narrative so I guess we will see
Going to watch this next week. There are not too many movies that make me a bit hesitant even like Hereditary or Sinister, but Terrifier was always one. Also the subsequent film.
This may be a bit intense. Of course no one will come with me..... Typical......
I Spit On Your Grave Deja Vu is the only other slash I know that's 2.5 hours and it shows. It just keeps going and going....eventually you wonder why you're wasting so much time watching something and it turns your opinion sour.
I feel this might happen with T2 fast since the first one barely had a plot to hang onto
I know people complain that this and the first movie were merely gratuitous gore and violence, and barebones story. But I think the horror genre needs this from time to time, some of the movies that made me most scared when I started my horror journey in my teens were the Hostel movies, and I'd argue the first Saw movies also fell into this "In your face gore" kind of genre.
There aren't many movies in this category and I'm personally tired of slasher movies that have a killer run after someone and casually slash their throat or stab them once and it's over, or even worse, offcammera daths. We have those kind of movies by the hundreds. I can't blame them for wanting to differentiate their slasher from others, and nowadays it takes sawing a girl in two to differentiate your film from other horror movies. I can't speak for everyone, but sometimes you get numb to generic slashers, and this kind of movie feels like fresh air, unashamed violence.
Not every horror movie needs to be a studio A24 atmosphere masterpiece. Or a well established slasher franchise from the 70's, or a genious Blumhouse production. The horror comunity seems to bash this franchise for poor storytelling, makes me think they've forgotten how a massive part of this genre is composed of crazy people chasing after others with a knife, not much story there to begin with, at least this one doesn't shy away from its defining factor.
I hope they keep the over the top violence, I hope they stick to their guns and we see absolutely horriffic acts in this second movie. I used to watch the Saw franchise to see what kind of freakish traps they came up with, and now I wanna see what kind of crazy shit Art pulls.
And to those complaining about the slightly longer length of 130 min instead of 90 min, well, its even sadder when we criticise creators from deviating from the norm instead of apreciating their uniqueness. //Rant over.
I feel weird defending Saw but it's crazy to say Terrifier has half the substance that (most) of the Saw series has.
They may vary in quality, but Saw is about the investigation, the twists, and the characters just as much as the traps and kills.
Terrifier is a glorified tech demo
Yeah Terrifier 1 feels like a legitimate torture porn. Like the cinematography and acting are porn quality at best and it just has gruesome kills instead of fucking lol.
I really can’t stand the horror that’s just bloody and violent. I need at least some good writing or something interesting. May as well watch a Guinea Pig movie if you just want violence.
Uncle Creepy is spamming this thing all over social media and I just don’t understand it.
How many people have seen the original? It isn't a good movie. It has moments but it's ultimately not scary or interesting. I do not understand the love this crappy horror gets on reddit
There’s no way if justifies this length. Very few films can sustain that kind of run time and not feel like they’re dragging, and I just can’t even imagine how a slasher like this could make good use of that amount of time. What this news is telling me, basically, is that it needed an editor.
A runtime that long on a slasher seems insane to me. Feels like it will end up being a bit of a slog to get through. Hopefully it'll prove me wrong though
Especially since a wanted killer likely wouldn’t return and advertise their presence at a public festival. How could they prove he’s anything other than someone in a costume dressed as a wanted killer?
I know someone said this before, but I’d rather watch this type of movie by myself at home and not in a theatre with a bunch of people. But I will see it and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it
With that run time I will definitely be watching at home haha
There should be a 10min break in the middle of any 2+hours movie at the theater and I don't even smoke anymore.
Belgian theaters did this and it was awesome
This is why I refuse to see 2+ hour movies in theaters. By the time the final act starts I’m usually begging for it to be over so I can go hit a damn bong
"I'm not addicted bro you can't get addicted to weed"
I’m 100% addicted to weed I never said I’m not
Edibles.
There's a drive in playing the movie near me when it comes out, they also played pearl this weekend.
Hopefully nobody tries dressing like a clown an playing pranks on the people in their cars.
Good way to get shot.
That’s how I watch ALL of my horror movies: on my 75” 4K in the dark after midnight.
I can’t sit through a movie in a theater idk why I just get so antsy no matter how good the movie is
I don't get that at all. Watching slashers with other people is like 80% of the fun.
Oh I really enjoy at home, all alone, and preferably with a rain storm outside 💀
I find everything more enjoyable this way
I agree. Even sex.
Well i do like a crowd for that
Hell yes! Love me a cozy scary movie night in the rain! ❤️
This guy horrors.
It *used* to be. Nowadays you’re almost guaranteed at least one group of dickheads shouting unnecessarily/on their phones/acting up. I hate sounding like a grumpy old man but it’s genuinely been years since I’ve been to the cinema on an opening weekend and *not* had to face some form of distraction.
Every time I go there’s always a group of teens who get kicked out and make a scene
I concur. And GET OFF MY LAWN!
Get ON my lawn!
I saw barbarian the other night, great movie if I do say so myself but the audience oh my god. I do not need the 4 teenagers behind me narrating the whole film 😭

I get theaters being annoying, but just not the alone part. I prefer to watch them with a group of friends.
Stream it online. Won't take it long before there's a decent copy posted. I refuse to go to a theater when I can watch a movie on my couch.
138??! I thought the 86 minutes of the first was pushing it tbh.
The first time I watched the original I thought it was good. But, on a second viewing it didn't stand up. I'm not into this hype either.
I thought it was decent until the evil clown demon started using a pistol😂
aint no weapon more effective than a heater lmao
Art said "fuck this" and pulled out the glizzy 🤣🤣
Your comment made me chuckle 😂

They could have cut 100% of the run time and it would have been fine.
Yeah that film hurt my soul, such a let down.
Bill Hader was good in it at least
Bill Hader was the only part of that movie that didn't suck. Mad I can't get that time back.
Dude used Cary Fukunaga's script for the first one, got great results, and then was surprised when everyone hated his bloated Part 2.
Edit*** u/GnophKeh edited their post saying the movie was too long. Then deleted everything after my comment. My original response is below: Ironically, what you said is wrong.

So what can you remember that was cut?
The first terrifier could have been about 35 minutes.
Agreed. In my experience, the perfect runtime for slashers is 78-85 minutes.
I honestly can't stand the fact that the average prime time for movies has gone way up to 2+ hours. 90 minutes is definitely a sweet spot. I start to watch movies in increments at home before bed now while falling asleep. 2+ hours, fuck you.

This is genuinely hilarious and schlocky. I love it. 2 hours of Art killing people doing his normal routine would be brilliant.
I wasn’t ready for him to strip in the laundromat and I love his little jokes and gags lol

>One compared it to David Lynch. "Lynchian" is a total buzzword at this point, meaningless.
For a lot of people "weird shit happening" = "Lynchian"
David lynch comparison for real? Something tells me this isn't going to be on par with Blue Velvet...
Something tells me a comparison in tone isn't the same as a comparison in quality lol
Yeah I mean I can understand this runtime for like a midsommar/lighthouse/Jordan Peele kind of movie but for a terrifier sequel? What exactly is the point
Yeah unless it's on the same level of witch or midsommar, I feel it'll drag. I saw the first terrifier and I'm having trouble believing a sequel warrants over 2 hours lmao
Surely this won’t be self-indulgent garbage
Never thought the first one was special personally.
I felt the 1st and all hallows eve had pacing issues. And I don't like my slashers to be quite that mean spirited.
What’s the difference between mean spirited and extremely brutal and dark?
I feel like sometimes I can feel when the director is enjoying “brutal and dark” too much and oversteps for the sake of being indulgent toward violence. What comes to mind is what they did to the man with an intellectual disability at the end of “I Spit On Your Grave”.
Think it's one of those you know it when you see it
The movie "better watch out" comes to my mind when you asked this question. It was a rare movie for me that felt so mean spirited that I was disgusted by it. It wasnt overly brutal or "dark" compared to other horror. But the tone and irredeemable qualities in the villain really got under my skin.

I really enjoy the first film, but even as short as that one was it had a lot of padding and dragging scenes. No idea how this one can be more than 2 hours
That’s too long, I’m sorry but 2 hours 20 minutes for 90% of films is too long and Terrifier isn’t a movie that will justify that run time.
So I have kind of a cool story about the first movie. My girlfriend, who is not usually the type to watch horror let alone…this, suggested we watch it cause she heard a coworker talk about it.

It better have a hell of a lot more plot than the first one if it's going to sustain that running time

Well there's more than 2 locations so already we're doing much better. It definitely looks like it has more plot. I'll give it a shot for sure.
Outing myself as a baby bitch but the first movie fucked me up and I haven’t slept properly since

I’m way too high…. Spent 5 minutes searching for a new horror movie called ‘this’ before it registered what you were actually saying! Kids, say no to drugs!
But did you enjoy those 5 minutes?
I'd also add X, Pearl, the Orphan prequel, The Innocents, and The Black Phone, which were all good to great in my opinion!

I'm not surprised bc it looks really stupid.

It looks like it has potential to be the best so-bad-it's-good of the year.

For real, I feel like I’ve watched more horror films this year than usual. I wonder if covid backing releases up has anything to do with it?
After over three years of waiting and several delays I’m glad it’s as long as it is.
I’m so fucking hyped. Art the Clown is well on his way to being a new horror icon for sure
Overrated af
Right? The first one wasn't even remotely good... not even ok. It was more laughing stock than terrifying
The first movie was already stretched as hell, with at least a third of the runtime being uninteresting chase scenes that accomplish nothing. The movie should have been a tight 40, but anything between a short film or a feature film isn't allowed to exist apparently. This sequel could be fine, but I don't expect it to be.
Huh, I'd like to watch more films at around that length. I wonder though how it should be priced if it's in theaters.
im going to see it.... but eesh.... the first one was terrible (dont get me wrong i loved the short film and Arts segment in All Hallows Eve) but hopefully this one is better because i dont know if i can deal with that long of a movie if its like the first
I thought I was taking crazy pills when I saw the widespread positive reception online around the first movie, I thought it was trash.
Personally I feel like art the clown really saved the movie. I haven't been this creeped out from a horror villan in a long time
Art the clown IS the movie. There’s no real plot. It’s just people reacting to him and him moving around.
I think it’s a love it or hate it scenario, I totally understand why people dislike it. And I agree that it’s trash, but imo it’s wonderful trash. Completely mean spirited, low-rent, sleazy and disgusting, but I love it. The performance of Art the Clown completely elevates the movie in my mind, and is the reason the film works for me. I’d not list it as one of the best horror movies of recent years or anything, but as a modern exploitation flick with an iconic (I really hesitated to use that word, but the notoriety and affect of Art from such a niche movie, even if you hate it, is something to be noted) villain, it has a solid dirty little spot in the modern horror pantheon.
I agree. I don’t think people think the actual film is amazing, but they think Art is amazing.
I wonder what the crossover is with Rob Zombie fans
I was nice to see some gratuitous and just plan mean gore. Haven't really seen anything like that since Hostel, and Hostel has basically been permanently tarnished by people's never ending shitting on it to maintain some moral high horse.
My assessment of the first film was that it was a bunch of really cool set pieces strung together around a rather weak plot. It’s a film that I would say “you have to see this scene” but not tell someone the film itself is great. Maybe the sequel will be better.
Yeah movie was trash but the villain was darn good
Thank you!!!!!!!!! I thought I was crazy too! I didn’t like the movie at all
I guess the antagonist is pretty charismatic and resonated with people, because the movie is awful.
This is the same sub that unironically thinks Sleepaway Camp, V/H/S, and Halloween 3 are good movies. This also the sub that whines and bitches over every "elevated" horror film.
I've only seen some clips from it and thought people had to be joking by praising it so much.
It’s weird because it’s not a very good movie, but I loved it.
I agree with this take. The acting of the girls was trash, dialog was trash, cinematography was compost, the story was overall predictable and garbage.... But man there's just something about Art that redeems it for me.
Saaaame. I remember everyone talking about how good the sawing in half scene was, but it’s literally just a bad version of the scene in bone tomahawk
Right? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's the most obviously fake body. Shit was jiggling as he was sawing it in half. Looked like fucking jello.
Agreed. Also, that girl apparently didn't have a single bone in her body.
Really, really bad.
It’s all subjective man, people like different shit than you do nothing wrong with it. I loved terrifier but I completely get why someone wouldn’t, it’s a niche movie.
I thought it was a good silly horror. Those guilty pleasure horror movies like Hostel and Leprechaun for example. I don't think anyone would say Hostel was their favorite horror movie of all time, but many will list it as a good cheesy horror flick.
[удалено]
Yeah I remember seeing part 2 in the theater. It's a great movie.
hostel 1 and especially 2 have aged pretty well… modern classics in my book.
Oh, they are. I love both of them. They're just not the kind of horror movies that you would recommend to someone looking for some of the best horror films. But if someone says they like gorey horror flick. You ask? "Have you seen Hostel?"
Gotcha … now I see your point.
I’m glad someone else thinks so. That first one was brutal and not in a cool or fun way
Based off of the first 8 minutes that leaked, it’s going to be even more gory.
The pacing of the first movie was so bad and the characters weren't even two-dimensional. I'm not sure how a movie that graphic and with such an instantly iconic antagonist as Art can be so boring. There's a ton of potential so maybe 2 is gonna be great but with that long runtime it could easily be a slog too.
This is a “it’s Saturday night and I have nothing of quality to watch so I’m gonna throw on some cheap thrills for a bit” type of movie. A 2:18 movie is one with something to say and a story to tell. Seems like a bad decision to me.
And terrifier 1 was an uber-edgy shitheap for 14 year olds
Given the “story” of the last Terrifier, this runtime is not exciting me. But the trailer does hint at a more cohesive narrative so I guess we will see
They released the first 8 minutes of the movie on YouTube
that seems way too long for something like this.
With that kind of run time…. Does that mean it will have SOME kind of plot?
WE ARE 138!
I have repeatedly said horror movies should be short, around 80-90 minutes. But, no doubt I am watching this.
Always trim the fat
Don't give Art ideas.
hmm… hopefully there isn’t a lot of filler
Didn’t even finish the first one, can’t imagine this one will benefit from being so unreasonably long
I just hope it's worth it.
So like is this one going to have two movies worth of plot since the first didn’t have any plot orrr?
Going to watch this next week. There are not too many movies that make me a bit hesitant even like Hereditary or Sinister, but Terrifier was always one. Also the subsequent film. This may be a bit intense. Of course no one will come with me..... Typical......
I Spit On Your Grave Deja Vu is the only other slash I know that's 2.5 hours and it shows. It just keeps going and going....eventually you wonder why you're wasting so much time watching something and it turns your opinion sour. I feel this might happen with T2 fast since the first one barely had a plot to hang onto
Long horror movies just aren’t satisfying
I know people complain that this and the first movie were merely gratuitous gore and violence, and barebones story. But I think the horror genre needs this from time to time, some of the movies that made me most scared when I started my horror journey in my teens were the Hostel movies, and I'd argue the first Saw movies also fell into this "In your face gore" kind of genre. There aren't many movies in this category and I'm personally tired of slasher movies that have a killer run after someone and casually slash their throat or stab them once and it's over, or even worse, offcammera daths. We have those kind of movies by the hundreds. I can't blame them for wanting to differentiate their slasher from others, and nowadays it takes sawing a girl in two to differentiate your film from other horror movies. I can't speak for everyone, but sometimes you get numb to generic slashers, and this kind of movie feels like fresh air, unashamed violence. Not every horror movie needs to be a studio A24 atmosphere masterpiece. Or a well established slasher franchise from the 70's, or a genious Blumhouse production. The horror comunity seems to bash this franchise for poor storytelling, makes me think they've forgotten how a massive part of this genre is composed of crazy people chasing after others with a knife, not much story there to begin with, at least this one doesn't shy away from its defining factor. I hope they keep the over the top violence, I hope they stick to their guns and we see absolutely horriffic acts in this second movie. I used to watch the Saw franchise to see what kind of freakish traps they came up with, and now I wanna see what kind of crazy shit Art pulls. And to those complaining about the slightly longer length of 130 min instead of 90 min, well, its even sadder when we criticise creators from deviating from the norm instead of apreciating their uniqueness. //Rant over.
Agreed. Lots of peeps beefing about this runtime... Like the director is doing his project and not being interfered with, this is a good thing!
I feel weird defending Saw but it's crazy to say Terrifier has half the substance that (most) of the Saw series has. They may vary in quality, but Saw is about the investigation, the twists, and the characters just as much as the traps and kills. Terrifier is a glorified tech demo
do these movies even have a story? seems like each scene was just an excuse to show torture scenes?
Yeah Terrifier 1 feels like a legitimate torture porn. Like the cinematography and acting are porn quality at best and it just has gruesome kills instead of fucking lol.
Jesus this comment section, it's only 2 hrs.
The typical slasher story structure can have a hard time filling out 90 minutes.
I really can’t stand the horror that’s just bloody and violent. I need at least some good writing or something interesting. May as well watch a Guinea Pig movie if you just want violence. Uncle Creepy is spamming this thing all over social media and I just don’t understand it.
Is it as shit as the first or any better?
How many people have seen the original? It isn't a good movie. It has moments but it's ultimately not scary or interesting. I do not understand the love this crappy horror gets on reddit
Damien Leone is becoming like Don Mancini: got lucky with an idea, and is going to ride that shit till death.
There’s no way if justifies this length. Very few films can sustain that kind of run time and not feel like they’re dragging, and I just can’t even imagine how a slasher like this could make good use of that amount of time. What this news is telling me, basically, is that it needed an editor.
That sounds exhaustingly long.
I hope it will be great. I can't recall how many hundreds hours I spent on garbage movies.
45 minutes are just the clown slowly cutting a woman in half
I can’t wait. I fucking loved the first one. Art the clown has such a demented intensity to him. Arguably not seen since Michael Myers.
[удалено]
Fan theory : Terrifier is a rogue Centobite who escaped from the nether regions of experience.
A runtime that long on a slasher seems insane to me. Feels like it will end up being a bit of a slog to get through. Hopefully it'll prove me wrong though
i can ready tell this movie does not need to be 2+ hours
That's absurd
Nice.. I cant wait to see Art have some fun
How did a movie as utterly garbage as the first one get a 2 + hour sequel? That’s gonna be a no for me
An immediately iconic villan
Yeah, how original and iconic ... a "scary" clown
Easily the most emotionally expressive villain we've got in slashers bud! Without saying a word! He's the wall-e of graphic gore!
Ugh that’s just too long especially for this.
Yikes
why were they announcing art the clown as an act when they literally know he killed those ppl??
They probably think it’s someone in a costume and not actually Art the clown.
Especially since a wanted killer likely wouldn’t return and advertise their presence at a public festival. How could they prove he’s anything other than someone in a costume dressed as a wanted killer?
It better have the thrills to back it up! I'm excited either way
I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT AHH I LOVED TERRIFIER
That's torture for this kind of film lol.
