Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest last night, leaving viewers in shock and awe. The first reactions promise sickening gore, laude the performances by David Howard Thornton and Lauren LaVera, praise Damien Leone’s direction, and tease Art the Clown’s expanded lore.

“Terrifier 3 just might be the goriest movie to ever grace a multiplex screen,” raves Fangoria editor-in-chief Phil Nobile Jr. “David Howard Thornton having a blast, funniest he’s ever been as Art; Lauren LaVera put through the wringer. Possibly the most physically put-upon final girl since Marilyn Burns.”
