Terrifier 3 predictions

Edit: as of November of 2023, and Terrifier 3’a actual preview, this post is outdated.

————

Read the title. It may be a little early to make predications (edit: yup) on the third Terrifier, but it’s been on my mind for a while now.

I’ve been writing these down since the DVD release, but I’m just getting to editing and posting them now.

So I’m just gonna stop wasting time with introductions, and get to the list.

----

1. It'll be set on the same night as Terrifier 2.

Damien Leone said the third movie picks up right after 2, and seeing as it’s implied to be just after Sienna decapitates Art, I doubt there’ll be a time skip. It may even homage something like Halloween II or Halloween Kills.

With this in mind, Sienna and Jonathan wouldn’t have had time to recuperate after their fight with Art; and assuming Sienna gets any kind of “Angel” powers to counter Art’s she wouldn’t have enough time to master her them.

This would allow Sienna to learn to master these powers over the movie, and keep her from being this invincible OP hero.

2. Terrifier 3 will have a hospital setting.

Again, maybe as a homage to Halloween II, but a lot of my predictions have to do with characters going to a hospital or two.

Which kind, I don’t know. An emergency room would be most likely for Jonathan at least, but Art and the Possessed Vicky are in a psychiatric clinic. I can’t think of a believable reason they’d be in the same building. Maybe the staff are forced to take Vicky to the hospital, but wouldn’t the ward have its own medical wing ?

Maybe I’m overthinking it.

It should be noted that Damien Leone also wanted to make a feature film based off The 9th Circle short film (Art’s debut). Before that idea was scrapped, its story would have involved teenagers being trapped in an abandoned hospital, overrun by demons.

Leone already recycled some of his old ideas for Terrifier 2; Sienna herself was based on a character he wanted to write back in 2008, so I can see him reviving some of the scrapped film here.

It might even be dubbed something like “Terrifier: The 9th Circle”.

Which leads us too…

3. Art will be out of commission for much of the movie…I mean, he’s literally a head at this point. But this would lead to other threats taking the stand.

I’m talking about The 9th Circle demons. Art is practically backed up by the forces of Hell, and apparently he’s important enough to them that his resurrection is a must.

So what I’m picturing is these demons stepping into the fray. If they go the hospital route, and revise The 9th Circle, these demons would take over the hospital, killing in Art’s place while rebuilding his body.

For example, they would kill and mutilate staff and patients for body parts/organs, Frankenstien-ing a body for Art to reattach his head.

Plus it gives Sienna something to build her power on. She wouldn’t just be fighting Art himself, but numerous demons of different varieties and powers. Think Die Hard in a demon infested hospital.

4. If Art is out of commission, we may learn some of his backstory. Being a reanimated head, it’s not like Art can do much of anything besides think.

So to pass the time, we’d get flashbacks here and there about Art’s past with Art thinking about how he got here…but they will subvert the typical slasher villain sob story, and keep him unsympathetic.

Here’s some examples, off the top of my head.

Art was bullied as a child ? Well, who doesn’t get bullied ? Plus, it would turn out the bullying he suffered was mere teasing, or at least pretty tame compared to more severe examples of bullying. Carrie White, he is not.

If they build up an abusive parents backstory ? It turns out his parents were well meaning, if strict and disconnected, at worst. The examples of “abuse” Art apparently suffered consisted of having to do mundane chores around the house every now and then.

If Art had someone in his life who left him and broke his heart ? Art was an emotionally distant boyfriend (at best) especially when it was clear his partner was going through something that he was indifferent too.

Alternatively, whoever broke Art’s heart wasn’t romantically involved with him in the first place; Art just had a really bad case of “Nice Guy Syndrome”.

Again, these are just examples I’d think of; things that wouldn’t make Art tragic or sympathetic, or even explain why he such a raasclaat pulling this kind of buffoonery.

5. Going with the above, if - and that’s a Big IF - we get any kind of face/voice reveal for Art, they’re gonna pull the “They Look Just Like Everyone Else” card.

It'd revealed that underneath his clown getup, Art isn’t actually deformed; his silent clown gimmick is just that; his costume is just that. His pointy nose ? Prosthetics. His rotting teeth ? Dentures you could pick up at a Halloween store. 

If we ever see Art without his makeup (or prosthetics), it’s just David Howard Thorton’s normal face. Art may not even be a genuine mute; his silence would just be part of the shtick. If we hear Art’s speak, it’s just David Howard Thorton’s natural speaking voice.

The reason why no one was able to find Art over the years isn’t supernatural or that he just has a good hiding spot; he just has such a mundane and casual appearance and demeanor.

You wouldn’t think to question the guy minding his own business at the pancake house, or the grocery store, or hanging around the mall.

You could be sitting across the table from Art at a dinner date, remarking about the Miles County Massacre, and you wouldn’t be the wiser as he nods and smiles.

Think Machine’s face reveal from 8MM, and you’ll get a good idea of what I’m talking about.

undefined

Going with this, if they want to do an “Art gets away” cliffhanger…it would just be Art getting out of his costume and makeup dressing in mundane clothes and blending into a crowd.

6. If Allie’s alive...it’ll be a “Be Careful What You Wish For” twist.

Allie has become a popular supporting character, even with (and partially because) of her infamous “death” scene. So much so, a portion fanbase wants her to come back in the third movie.

And to be fair, we don’t see her expire…

But there’s a catch. In the first Terrifier, Vicky survives Art’s attack and is left mutilated and disfigured. In the original Terrifier short, Art purposefully keeps a victim alive and heavily mutilated for his amusement.

What I’m getting at is if Allie is still alive after all of that…we can only expect her to be in this miserable state, left heavily mutilated and disfigured from Art’s attack.

If this goes for the hospital route, Sienna may pay her a visit, and the scene may be played as a Tear Jerker; practically nudging at the audience saying “Well, you wanted her alive! Are you happy ?”

And that’s not counting the possibility of Art or one of his demonic partners tormenting a hospitalized Allie throughout.

One upside I can see is, if Sienna is gaining angelic powers…angels are often depicted as having this power to heal others.

Now, I’m not saying I see Sienna magically restoring Allie’s body and undoing her mutilation…but maybe a scene where she takes Allie’s physical pain away, and causes Allie to feel an uncontrollable rush of happiness/relief.

Not sure if I can see Damien Leone doing something this hopeful, but it’d be nice to see. I was listening to Robbie Williams’ “Angels” when I wrote this part down.

Terrifier 2

directed by Damien Leone, 2022

Terrifier 2 (2022, dir. Damien Leone) - review by Rookie-Critic

Ok. Terrifier 2. Now we're cooking with gas. With this installment of the cult-horror franchise, started by the atrocious All Hallows' Eve in 2013, Leone has finally hit his stride. This film takes everything that was so bad about the first two films in the franchise and improves it to a point that, dare I say, we actually have a good 80's-inspired B-movie slasher on our hands. Art the Clown finally gets to exist in a film where he's not being dragged down by everything around him. You can enjoy the gory splatterfest kills and practical effects (which are all still incredibly well done for the increased-but-still-modest budget the film was made on) without having to bemoan literally everything else. The acting is finally good, or, at the very least, good enough to emulate the B-movie feel this franchise is built on, and the main character is actually interesting. Lauren LaVera has great screen presence and, in the scenes she shares with Art, does not get lost in David Howard Thornton's performance. They genuinely share the screen in a way that no other character in this franchise has managed to accomplish so far. Also, Art is hilarious in this one (when he's not utterly terrifying, of course). There are multiple sequences and gags in this film that got me to audibly gut laugh. One particular scene early on in the film's massive runtime involving Art trying on sunglasses in a costume store comes to mind as the one that busted the dam open for me.

This movie is a staggering 2 hours and 28 minutes, an insane runtime for a slasher film, and I was never bored. I saw this on a Monday night at 9:30 running on about 3 hours of sleep and never once felt like I was about to pass out. All of this to say that, for a franchise that I actively disliked, and walked into the theater the night I saw it ready to rip it to shreds, it is a massive improvement and a good film. Of course, it isn't perfect. There are a couple of small instances of the hallmark misogyny that plagued the previous two installments in this one, which is disappointing, but the presence is greatly reduced down to almost nothing. Also, while most of the acting was good and the writing is way better in this one, there were a few characters that could have been better and a few moments in the script that came off as cringey. It was a little distracting when everything else was going so well and then there would be a bad line read or an over exaggerated response to something and it would take me out of it. Lastly, and this one I don't particularly mind as much, is this film leaves a ton open. Obviously Leone wants there to be a Terrifier 3, but Terrifier 2 definitely cannot stand on its own two legs from a plot standpoint, and with a franchise as inconsistent as this one, I worry that openness will make it a hard barrier for entry that people will have to suffer through at least one godawful film before getting to see this one. However, whenever Leone eventually does make a Terrifier 3, I will be in the audience, hoping for even further improvement.

Score: 7/10

Guiado por una aparición demoniaca, Art se enfoca en una adolescente y su hermano menor.
