Terrifier Ratings & Reviews
- q8rwd3d agoI love this one
- Ashton ColeJuly 7, 2025Unlike its sequels, this first Terrifier is a generic exercise in gratuitous displays of blood and gore. It lacks the depth and charm that the sequels so surprisingly introduce, as well as any characters to really fall in love with and root for. Watch it if you must, but be advised: the sequels are better.
- ElliNovember 15, 2024It was both so cool and so cliche. A true body horror movie but with all the wrong typical things from terrible movies like Scream and Halloween. It could have been so good but the cliches really drags it down.
- ScottMarch 13, 2025Please welcome Art the Clown! This is the first real glimpse of Art that we see as he is the new actor behind the mask. Even though this is the first movie for the new actor David Howard Thornton, you can tell right away he's a natural at playing the role. Art doesn't speak a word and his meme theatrics are executed to perfection. It makes watching a scary movie actually fun, which is hard to believe. Yes, there is lots of gore, but it's not as scary knowing Art is natural-born comedian who plays a part of a deranged man in a clown outfit. The storyline was good, but the later movies are even better. You have to start with this movie first, then watch Terrifier 2 and 3 after this and you'll come to enjoy the series much more. Who knew a scary clown would be so much fun? Thanks!

- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025More than anything else I was really impressed with the effects, the gore and the literally terrifying Clown costume and makeup. This definitely delivers on all of those fronts. The characterization is pretty lacking for pretty much all characters and we don’t really have a compelling final girl. In fact, the final girl kind of changes at one point. But man, there are some gruesome kills including a Bone Tomahawk - esque journey to Splitsville. This might fall into the guilty pleasure category for me as it’s essentially torture porn, but’s it’s impressively executed especially considering the modest budget. This did feel long, which has me slightly worried about the 2hr 28min runtime of Terrifier 2, but I’m gonna trust y’all on that one. Not sure when I’ll be able to make it to the theater for that, but hopefully soon.
- cloudsrivalFebruary 5, 2025It's immediately clear at the beginning of the movie that Art the Clown is just a skinny human dude with no special skills or superpowers, but whenever a victim overpowers Art, they give him a lil slap and then run away screaming. Tara, for example, is initially depicted as capable and resourceful, and yet her MO is to disarm him and then run and hide. That lazy writing style extends a promising beginning into 40 minutes of skippable chase scenes with a splattering of extremely gruesome imagery. The movie takes place in NEW YORK, but not even the tough men in the movie are able to fight Art. Buddy, I've been to NYC pizza shops in the middle of the night, and there's no way one of those guys could be killed so easily. Movies like this make me appreciate better-crafted slasher films like "You're Next" that much more. Not sure why it has such a cult following, other than that it has gore so extreme that it's sometimes funny. But Evil Dead still does that better.
- Das_LamaJune 17, 2025Watching two scenes of this movie challenged my belief that the documentary Idiocracy was set 500 years in the future. This movie was just glorification of murder, mayhem, and torture for no good reason. I submit that this movie was terrible and we are only 50 years away from the Idiocracy dystopia. The positive part, I guess, is at least the incel folks who like this movie will get hand jobs at Costco and Starbucks in their lifetime.
- ababdallahJune 9, 2025I love it
- NonPlayableContentMay 30, 2025They tried and it has its place in history now but imagine if they toned down the camp like 30% how good it could have been.
- XXBlackMothXXMay 2, 2025An absolute gore fest. The clown is completely terrifying and mesmerising. This is a dark movie and was shot in the same style of the old 80s horror movies. Terrifyingly gory!
- Ichigo KurusakiMay 1, 2025The slasher flicks got so weak and uninspired they had to resort to making the killer a immortal incel with extreme mental health problems…im going to sit this one out…
- TekCharlieFebruary 14, 2025Meh. Art is great, sure, but the story is silly and there isn't enough suspension of disbelief for lots of other things.
- Hipster ZOMBIEJanuary 26, 2025On a cold and dark Halloween night two babes get stranded in a condemned building and are stalked by a blood thirsty homicidal clown named Art. Featuring one of the most gruesome gore scenes ever seen in cinema, Terrifier introduces the world to the new king of horror for this generation, Art the Clown.
- JesseJanuary 25, 2025The best movie since Elm Street. Loved it 😲😖😳🤯🤡💀🩸🩸🩸
