Art the Clown kills Christmas in Terrifier 3 , his best outing yet


Filmmaker Damien Leone finds balance in the indulgent, dramatic, gore-drenched Terrifier 3, the best Terrifier film yet.

Even when Terrifier 2 broke through at the box office in the fall of 2022, the emphasis was primarily on audience members who were fainting and vomiting in the aisles, eyes wide in disbelief at just how far Leone and his villain, David Howard Thornton’s Art the Clown, were willing to push the action. The girl who slayed him, Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera), is in and out of treatment facilities while dealing with PTSD and survivor’s guilt, but she’s finally found a measure of peace that means she can spend the Christmas holidays back home with her family. Art can, of course, still clown around and stage blackly comic tableaus with his human playthings, including a particularly squirm-worthy encounter with a Santa performer, but he can also become a savage instrument of pure terror, as he does in one particular kill late in this film.
