The third entry in the extreme slasher franchise has already caused audience walk-outs ahead of its official release on October 11, but its director has promised even more blood and guts in the next installment.
Extreme slasher movie Terrifier 3 hits UK cinemas on Friday (October 11) with anticipation for it now sky-high following news of audience walk-outs, vomiting and panic attacks at preview screenings.
At the film’s UK premiere, attendees were even handed sick bags, with doors pasted with warning notices about the extreme violence and gore about to be shown on-screen.
Terrifier 3 follows chronologically from the events of the second film, reacquainting audiences with traumatized siblings Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) and her little brother Jonathan (Elliott Fullam), as they attempt to rebuild their lives after coming face-to-face with supernatural serial killer Art the Clown (portrayed by David Howard Thornton).
Social media has already been abuzz with discussion about one particularly gory moment after stills were leaked online ahead of the film’s release. The scene in question follows a young couple as they share an intimate moment in a shower block before they become the latest victims of a chainsaw-wielding Art.
The Terrifier films are renowned for pushing boundaries when it comes to kill scenes, with each film increasing the intensity more than the last. It’s a trend writer and director Damien Leone has pledged to continue.
Speaking to the Mirror, Leone said he had already been thinking about how to top his third film. “It’s one of the staples of this franchise…. always surpassing what we did in the previous installment. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t getting harder and harder,” he shared.
“Pressure is always mounting. There’s only so many things you can do to the human body for one, and we’re not just competing with ourselves, we are with every other horror movie that comes out. Everybody’s trying to one-up each other. Everybody’s trying to go for the most gross-out kills they can.”
Terrifier 4 was confirmed by Leone weeks before Terrifier 3’s release. While a script is yet to be written for the next film, Leone confirmed that he had already thought up a ‘couple’ of ideas for show-stopping kills that could top his shower scene.
“On my phone I have my notes. I’ll always put down ideas,” he said. “I have a lot of seeds planted for big kills. There’s a couple.”
While all-out gore is a staple of his films, he says he never wants to veer too far into scenes that become distasteful. “You can really start dipping into an area of extreme distaste,” he explained. “So it’s trying to walk that line of accessibility on one end, then on the other end, you’re just stepping over the line and pushing the envelope.”
