Critics Consensus
All about the splashy kills, Terrifier artfully introduces the unpredictable massacrer mime Art, yet fails to carve an entertaining story worthy of his wrath.
Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 11/07/2017 Thornton stays in rôle as fun-loving mime artist, so that all his slayings involve an unnerving combination of predatory sadism & popular performance. This makes him a perfect vehicle for the paradoxes of horror (as) entertainment. Go to Full Review Jeremy Aspinall Radio Times 05/23/2025 Even seasoned horror fans may feel a little liverish from Art's merciless menu of bodily perforations, some of which push the limits of on-screen gore to breaking point. Go to Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment 10/31/2024 Terrifier looks and feels like a student film and I mean that in the kindest way. This is a reminder of what horror should be - simple and brutal. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 10/10/2024 Leone’s passion and craftsmanship come together to make an effectively eerie, occasionally shocking, and surprisingly funny splatter film that set the table for the unlikely franchise that we have today. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 10/03/2024 Repulsive, shocking, and disturbingly funny, even a little nihilistic in its single-minded ambitions. Terrifier doesn’t give the viewer much to chew on, but even the most desensitized horror fanatic will watch in horrible awe at what Leone has created Go to Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Rue Morgue Magazine 07/03/2024 As a pure, gross, down ‘n dirty experience in abject cruelty that keeps its tongue firmly buried in cheek, Terrifier is successful.

This is MY Art!!!! See more Thomas 07/27/2023 We took someone to see this as their first horror film in theaters ever and they thoroughly enjoyed it as much as you can enjoy a brutal horror film. The first Terrifier is more intense than the sequel as Art basically beats everyone he runs into where as the sequel has more of a hero. Both are solid for what they offer and the effects are unreal.
