Art the Clown started back in 2011 with a short movie by the same name, truth be told I didn't like it. The creator Damien Leone would keep Art around in his feature film All Hallows' Eve (2013) but as a small role.
Now here we are and Art has his own movie, but is it any good? Honestly, not really but it's better than his last solo outing.
It follows the standard slasher formula and sees a couple of girls on Halloween night come under attack from a psychotic clown.
So again this is generic stuff, it embraces all the usual tropes and though not predictable certainly has no surprises. It's also pretty ugly and oddly paced throughout.
What Terrifier does have however is sheer unadulterated brutality. This is gory nasty no holds barred merciless stuff, I was quite shocked actually. Considering the budget they make all of it look really good, so kudos to the sfx department.
I love clowns as antagonists but Art doesn't seem to tick enough boxes for me. He's less of a clown and more of a mime and doesn't seem to be an interesting enough character to carry his own film.
Passable stuff but by this time next week I'll have forgotten it.
The Good:
Impressively grisly visuals
Jenna Kanell
Unpredictable
The Bad:
Doesn't exactly flow
Poor cinematography
