![Terrifier [Blu-Ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zmu5fybzL.jpg)

Named one of the scariest clowns on screen by Bloody-Disgusting.com, Art The Clown returns and sets his sights on three young women, along with anyone else that gets in his way. Terrifier is based on a character from the successful horror anthology franchise All Hallows' Eve. Not for the squeamish! Bonus features include: Art the Clown Time Lapse Make-Up Video, Deleted Scenes, Interview with lead actress Jenna Kanell, Behind-The-Scenes Footage, Audio Commentary with writer/director Damien Leone and David H. Thorton (Art the Clown), 2-disc pack includes a region free DVD and Blu-ray in NTSC (U.S. format) , Still image gallery, Red-Band & Green-Band Trailers, English and Spanish subtitles, Collectible Reverse Cover Art Review: Misogynistic, sadistic, revolting ... avoid! - I can think of one positive about the film, Art makes a great villain and looks creepy as hell. However, he isn't scary because of his clowning and capering about where he is clearly playing for laughs. What he does is terrifying (more on that in a moment) but as a character not scary. So I think having him silent does him an injustice. It would be better in my opinion to let him speak and give him some cracking one-liners like they did with Freddy Krueger. Now onto the film (if you can call 90 minutes of torture, no plot and meh characters a film). I am a huge horror fan, I have hundreds of films and seen thousands. I love slasher movies, have a strong stomach and have seen some incredibly gory films without flinching. This however is the first time I felt physically sick and was repulsed by what I was seeing on screen. This is not a film, this is a director who wanted to make a movie *cough* of the most revolting, sadistic violence against women. Misogyny is alive and kicking in this film and I am just astounded that in these post-Weinstein years, Hollywood appears to have learned nothing. How can anyone involved with this film possibly think that this level of violence and brutality is acceptable against women? I don't care if it is a horror film, it isn't some arty piece making a statement, it is nothing more than a thoroughly nasty exercise in degradation, dehumanising, drawn-out torture and slaughter of two-dimensional female characters who are nothing more than slaughterhouse fodder. And I can now never unsee the infamous hacksaw murder which was repulsive. No desire to ever watch it again or the second film of the third (in production as we speak). Whatever is going on in Damien Leone's head that he can conjure up such disturbing material I do not want anything to do with it. My final thought is that it is a wasted opportunity to give us a great villain. Sure the film could have been gory but not repulsively so. Give us characters we care about, make it atmospheric, and get rid of the misogynistic violence towards women. This would have made it 100 times better. As it is though, revolting and unwatchable! Would give a 0/5 if possible! Review: Art for art's sake - A brain dead, reeking cesspit of slasher depravity which manages to tick every box in the 'Horror Clichés 101' handbook, while turning the gore up to 11. The cinematic equivalent of a death metal album where every track sounds like a garbage disposal unit going off in a hurricane. This is either a compliment or a criticism depending on your taste in these type of movies, but for me one vital thing was missing with Terrifier: I wasn't charmed. There is a gaping void at the centre of this film's soul which just left me feeling depressed. The special FX are very impressive though, hence 2 stars instead of 1.
