Terrifier

Well I'm convinced he's scary

Another film I saw at the Popcorn Film Frights Festival, was Terrifier.  I have to say it lived up to it's name.

The plot is simple, an evil clown terrorizes three women on Halloween night.  This is hands down one of the goriest and most violent slasher movies I have seen.  It definitely veers into torture porn territory in some parts.  That said, it is still a very effective and entertaining film.

I'll take my food to go please
 Actor David Howard Thornton does a great job as the evil clown.  He manages to convey menace and humor all without speaking a word.

Writer/director Damien Leone has created a film follows the slasher tropes, but also adds new twists to them.  There is one scene that has the clown do something that I have never seen in a slasher movie before.  That scene, which I won't spoil, got an amazing reaction from the crowd.

If clowns don't scare you and you can handle extreme gore, then check out Terrifier!
