The Slasher Terrifier 2 sequel just hit theaters last weekend, and screenwriter and director Damien Leone has some thoughts on popular reports of audiences fainting, vomiting, and rushing out of theaters — no. always in the same order. Leone shared his wide-ranging reactions to the visceral reactions the film inspired in a new interview with Weekly entertainment.
“Listen, I’d love to have some foreplay, I think it’s a badge of honor because it’s an intense movie,” Leone said. “I don’t want people to faint, get injured throughout the movie. But it’s surreal. Here’s the thing, it’s called Terrifier 2, you should probably watch Terrifier 1 before jumping into this part. If you watch Terrifier 1, you’ll know what you’re doing.”
Terrifier and Terrifier 2 focuses on Art the Clown, a murderous clown unable to contain his rampage over the small fact that he himself is dead – or the undead. The community-funded indie horror film began showing in more than 850 theaters nationwide last week and prompted many theatergoers to share on social media that the film was too graphic, making viewers uncomfortable. vomiting or passing out. One theater reportedly had to call an ambulance.
Leone said his perception was that Terrifier 1 had cultivated a “supportive fan base” that included a “now infamous murder scene, a hacksaw scene, that everyone talks about” . Leone says he feels a responsibility to confront, if not exceed, the gore and surprise of the original. But, it’s worth noting that neither EW nor Leone spoiled exactly what was so overwhelmingly terrifying that audiences with a new sequel.
Instead, Leone told the sequel, “In most of these killer series, the killer usually ends up being killed, and then he’s supernatural, but the filmmakers just cover it up. cover it up… I wanted to really explore that supernatural evil as a character.” From there, until you go and see it, you are free to use your imagination to connect the dots of what can be amazing and amazing in movies.
