Genre: Horror
Duration: 2h 18m
Director: Damien Leone
Form: Lauren LaVera, Elliott Fullam, Sarah Voigt

The 2016 splatter-slasher movie sequel from Damien Leone features the return of Art the Killer Clown. After being resurrected by an unknown, sinister entity after the carnage in the previous film, Art once again goes on a rampage to terrorize the hapless residents of Miles County on Halloween night, this time targeting a teenage girl and her younger brother.

From our review:

Acting like an entertainer, Art the Clown embraces the artifice of a genre built on constantly improving itself through elaborate death scenes and detailed effects. Terrier doesn’t have the “you’re there” immediacy of a found-footage movie designed to approximate a snuff movie. Instead, it creates distance from the audience by positioning the violence as performative. It makes all that brutality more palatable than it otherwise would have been. In their handcrafted effects and their evocation of iconic slashers, the Terriifier movies allow horror fans to enjoy the warm comfort of nostalgia while still playing on our latent longing for the thrill of a movie that can pull the blood-soaked carpet out from under us.
