Terrifier 22022

Ok now I get it.  It’s not my cup of tea but I get it. Not quite an evil dead/evil dead 2 comparison but pretty close. I bet midnight showings of this one are fun.  The plot holes, illogical character choices and unevenness are ever present, but the entire movie is held together by Lauren LeVara alone.  It’s one of the better examples of a single performance breathing life and humanity into an otherwise graphic, mindnumbing slasher.  But that’s not unique.  Nearly all the hits have a charismatic scream queen.  Theres gotta be something more … I think I’ve narrowed down what separates Terrifier 2 from other horror films with commanding female leads.  I think it’s that each kill is literally savored by Art the Clown.  Each kill is 5 times longer than your average slasher.  I think it works because your killer is a clown who places everything into a more absurd, cartoon like category.   Ugh I’m going to see Terrifier 3, aren’t I?
