Demian Leone's Terrifier 3
I think at this point, almost anyone who's into the
Terrifier movies has come to know what to expect in terms of blood and gore, and that kind of stuff, in which case I think it's sufficient to say that on that department alone, the movie probably will not disappoint anyone who is into the movies mostly because of that.
Memory's a bit hazy but I seem to remember the earlier films in the series to have a more abstract quality, which somehow added to their appeal. There were parts that felt like you didn't know if you were watching something that happened IRL or in some weird alternate universe, or something along those lines.
In any case, the latest film in the series has, needless to say, come with a bigger budget and it looks more polished and feels more like a professional production than its predecessors. That, depending on your point of view, may be a pro or a con.
To me, it just felt like Leone has started adopting many of the story contrivances that became popular in other horror series, which makes this entry feel a little less original and more like a generic horror film with the trademark Art the Clown stuff added almost as an afterthought.
Sure enough, audiences seem to be reacting positively, at least on opening weekend, as the movie has become a top box-office hit and will likely end up outgrossing all its predecessors put together.
Leone has already said that he's working on a 4th film in the series, so it probably won't surprise anyone that this one may not have the most definitive of conclusions. With any luck, the next installment will be an improvement on this one.
