This week on the B movie docket is The Terrifier (2016)

Hello good people. And welcome to 50 B Movies: The Sequel. It’s bigger, better, and badder.  The original 50 b Movies covered a wide range of B Movies. There was everything from Thankskilling 3 to The Void. Some films were funny. Some were unintentionally funny. And some were mainstream with far-out concepts like zombie tigers. All in all, it was a hell of a list.

Why make a sequel? Because narrowing down a list of 50 B Movies To See Before You Die was arduous. With so many movies to watch, one can never really know if the movie is good. Sure sometimes 5 minutes in, you know it is a real stinker. Other times it might take a half an hour before one realizes they will never get that half hour back to their life. Poof. Gone. But all in all there are many great B Movies that didn’t make the original list.

So welcome back if you are a LRM reader and welcome if it’s your first time here. Be forewarned we will be treading deep into the bush to pull these B Movies. We aren’t rehashing anyone’s previous 50 or 100 or 1000 B Movies list. Nope. So, prepare yourself for 50 B Movies To See Before You Die: The Sequel. Bigger. Better. Badder. Oooh yeah.

WEEK 19 – The Terrifier (2016)

A Terrible Joke. Two chicks are sitting in a diner when a clown walks in and has a seat at the table. Wait. Have you heard this one?

SYNOPSIS

The Terrifier follows two young women, Tara and Dawn, who encounter a menacing and sadistic clown named Art during their night out. After a disturbing encounter with Art at a local pizza parlor, the women find themselves pursued and tormented by the deranged clown throughout the night. As Art unleashes his sadistic tendencies, the women must fight for their lives and confront the horrifying reality of the nightmare they find themselves trapped in. The film explores themes of terror, survival, and the dark depths of human depravity.

IN A NUTSHELL

If you’re looking for a wild ride that’ll make you laugh, cringe, and question your sanity, The Terrifier is like a nightmare comedy show with a sadistic twist! Enjoy.

GOREY

The gore in The Terrifier is a visceral eruption of blood-soaked madness that leaves you simultaneously repulsed and fascinated. Limbs are torn asunder with grotesque splendor, and crimson arcs of carnage spray across the screen. The practical effects work is a twisted symphony of grotesquery, with each wound and mutilation crafted in painstaking detail. It is a sadistic ballet of brutality, pushing the limits of what the human eye can endure. This is not for the faint of heart, my friends. Prepare to witness a torrential downpour of gore that will stain your psyche long after the credits roll. All in all, I think Pinhead might have a protégé. Have you ever seen The Cut In Half Illusion minus the Assistant box?

What sets The Terrifier apart from the countless B-movie clones is its audacious dedication to practical effects. The gore on display is a feast for the eyes, a glorious homage to the glory days of splatter cinema. From decapitations to dismemberment, each gruesome moment is meticulously crafted, leaving no doubt that the blood flowing through these veins is authentically crimson.

AFTERTHOUGHTS

The Terrifier revels in its B-movie status, embracing the inherent flaws that come with the territory. But within its imperfections lies a captivating charm that draws you into its warped universe. It is a film that demands to be seen, an essential addition to any B-movie lover’s collection.

So, my friends, I implore you to step into the shadows, to embrace the madness that awaits. The Terrifier is a sadistic gem, a gleeful descent into the heart of darkness that reminds us of the raw power of cinema. Add it to your list of 50 B movies to see before you die, and prepare yourself for a harrowing journey through the blood-soaked annals of horror history.

DIRECTED BY

Directed by Damien Leone, The Terrifier is a love letter to the blood-soaked carnage of yesteryear. It revels in its B-movie roots, unapologetically embracing the exploitation and excess that define the genre. Leone’s direction is unflinching in its commitment to shock and disturb, delivering a barrage of gruesome kills that would make even the hardiest of horror aficionados squirm.
