Terrifier 3 - The scoop and digest

The third in Damien Leone's popular series moves away from Halloween and has Art deck the halls with more gore then ever before.

David Howard Thornton - Art the Clown
Lauren LaVera - Sienna Shaw
Elliot Fullam - Jonathan Shaw
Samantha Scaffidi - Victoria Heyes
Margaret Anne Florence - Jess Shaw
Bryce Johnson - Greg Shaw
Antonella Rose - Gabbie Shaw
Jason Patric - Michael Shaw

Summary

Art murders a family inside their house shortly before Christmas.

Five years prior, Art's headless body arrives at Miles County Psychiatric Hospital, where a possessed Victoria Heyes has just given birth to his head.  After killing a few people, they flee to an abandoned house and 'sleep'.

Present day.

Sienna and Jonathan are struggling to rebuild their lives, with final girl still haunted by visions of her dead friends.

With the holiday season fast approaching, they attempt to leave the past behind, but all that unravels when Art and his bin bag returns.

Festive goregasm

It's too long, has some awful acting, drags in the middle, and many questions remain unanswered.

But sadistic brutality is consistently on top form.  Shit, even children are blown up.

The much hyped shower scene (a clear tribute to Psycho) is particularly callous, as Art dismembers and splits open Cole and Mia with a chainsaw.

Another highlight is a tube hammered down Jess's throat, with a blowtorch forcing rats to scurry inside.

However, the most disturbing part isn't a kill.

As she watches Art murder somebody, Victoria masturbates with a shard of glass.  Her 'waters' breaking (as blood); completes a fucked up sequence.

Upon Sienna decapitating Art's partner in crime with father's sword, her blood burns through the floor and creates a portal to Hell.

Gabbie falls into the abyss, along with pointy stick.  As Art escapes, Sienna vows to find and rescue the girl who idolizes her.

Does that mean the next will leave Miles County?

Probably.
