    I’d love to compare lists of (potentially) disturbing movies. Feel free to message me if you’d like.

    Also the first Terrifier (although called something else I think?) was shitty (in my opinion) and I didn’t finish it. Haven’t tried the others.

    Edit: Sorry everyone, as someone below pointed out, the above opinion is based on “all hallows eve” not Terrifier 1. My mistake. I’m gonna give both another try though.

      It’s great, IF you really love that old, low-budget, late-80s horror. It’s a love-letter to classic slasher films, just like Kill Bill was a tribute to Hong Kong martial arts films and Japanese chanbara. If you don’t like the source material, you’re probably not going to like them.

        Good point. It was quite a while ago and didn’t really approach it from that angle. With all the sequels, I should try the first again.

            I do like that. Also my original comment was based on “all hallows eve” which someone pointed out. My fault. I’m gonna give both another try though.

      I found Terrifier and its sequel to be pretty good for what it is. A violent modern take on the classic slasher movies. It’s schlocky, but that’s because slasher movies are a bit schlocky.

      The actor does a great job hamming it up and making it all a bit more than a classic slasher, too, entertainment wise. If he tried to play it more serious scary clown style, it’d probably have faceplanted for me.

        Yeah. I don’t think I gave it a good try. After your, and another’s comments. I’ll give it a fair try at some point soon.

          Honestly, I would skip straight to Terrifier 2. It’s a much more polished film with developed characters than Terrifier 1, and you’d only have missed details about a minor side character who was also in the first movie. If you like 2, you can go back and watch Terrifier 1 (and All Hallows Eve, even though that one hardly counts as a movie or a Terrifier movie).

            I think I just watched (some or most of) all hallows eve. Not actually Terrifier 1. That’s where all my previous statements came from. Gonna have to edit those now.

            Either way, I’ll give 1 a try because I do love shitty horror movies. Like the good shitty type. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

      I’ve kind of mellowed out for a while. I’m still into horror, but the truly disturbing stuff doesn’t just doesn’t speak to me any longer.
