Terrifier 2 is a 2022 American supernatural slasher film[2][6][7] written, directed, edited and produced by Damien Leone. A sequel to Terrifier (2016), it is the second film centered solely around Art the Clown and third feature-length film to feature the character. It is the second installment in the Terrifier franchise. It includes the return of David Howard Thornton and Samantha Scaffidi, who portrayed Art the Clown and Victoria Heyes, respectively, in the first film, and stars Lauren LaVera, Elliott Fullam, Sarah Voigt, Kailey Hyman and Casey Hartnett. The plot follows Art's resurrection and pursuit of teenage Sienna Shaw (LaVera), who discovers that she is destined to defeat him and wields the only weapon that can stop him, and her younger brother Jonathan (Fullam) on Halloween night—a year after the events of the first film.

The film originated from a feature film concept Leone began developing shortly after filming his directorial debut short film The 9th Circle (2009). The concept of the planned film focused heavily on an angel-dressed heroine and ultimately fell apart. Following its predecessor's release, Leone wanted to bring the heroine back—she would evolve into Sienna, someone Leone describes as the "heart and soul" of Terrifier 2. Leone spent three months writing a character-driven screenplay following criticism of the first film's perceived lack of narrative.

Funding was exacting as the script was more ambitious than the first film and required a bigger budget. Leone secured finances from private investors prior to filming, and he launched an Indiegogo campaign with a $50,000 goal to produce a practical effects-driven scene. The campaign was a massive success, reaching over 430% of the initial goal with a donation total of $250,000. It is one of the numerous films impacted by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic with principal photography coming to a halt mid-2020 due to the pandemic lockdowns.

It had its world premiere at the FrightFest on August 29, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 6, 2022. It received positive reviews from critics, with particular praise for LaVera and Thornton's performances, though the film's runtime received some criticism. Many critics considered the film to be an improvement over its predecessor. A sequel, Terrifier 3, was released in 2024 to generally positive reviews.

Plot

After being resurrected by an unknown entity following the Miles County Massacre,[a] Art the Clown brutally murders the coroner examining his body and goes to the laundromat to clean his blood-soaked garments, where he encounters the Little Pale Girl—a mysterious entity in similar clown attire. A lone patron sees Art interacting with the girl - who is invisible to him - before being killed.

One year later, teenager Sienna Shaw is preparing her Halloween costume: a Valkyrie character designed by her recently deceased father. Her younger brother Jonathan has become fixated with Art since discovering art of him in their father's sketchbook. That night, Sienna has a nightmare about a show called "The Clown Cafe" starring Art. In the dream, she has to fend him off and the only thing that can save her from his jerry-rigged flamethrower is her sword. She awakens to a fire burning the dresser the sword was resting on, but the sword is mysteriously unscathed.

That day, Halloween, Jonathan sees Art and the Little Pale Girl at school playing with a dead opossum and gets the blame. Sienna has a panic attack when her friends Allie and Brooke discuss Victoria Heyes's mutilation of talk show host Monica Brown.[a] Sienna and Allie go to the costume shop, where they encounter Art. Art kills the shop vendor and that night he breaks into Allie's home and tortures her to pass the time.

Jonathan shows Sienna and their mother, Barbara, his father's sketchbook, filled with newspaper clippings revealing that the Little Pale Girl bears resemblance to Art's first victim Emily Crane. He believes their father knew how to stop Art, saying that he gifted her the sword for that purpose. Sienna departs for a Halloween party, Jonathan flees after Barbara abuses him, then their mother Barbara is shot and killed by Art. Art kidnaps Jonathan when he returns home and steals Sienna's sword.

At the Halloween party, Brooke spikes Sienna's drink with MDMA and she has a panic attack after seeing the Little Pale Girl in the crowd. Brooke's boyfriend, Jeff, is driving them home when Sienna's lured to The Terrifier attraction at the old abandoned carnival. The Little Pale Girl imitates Jonathan pleading for a ride home, so while Sienna goes searching alone after a big argument on the way there, Art murders Jeff. Brooke is chased into the park and Sienna is beaten unconscious after discovering her body.

Sienna awakens to find Art using a scalpel on her brother and begins attacking him with his own weapons. The siblings discover Art is immortal and he wears them out with his endurance. The Terrifier attraction is slowly revealed to be the location Art chained his victims up in in the original 9th circle Short. He stabs Sienna with her father's sword and throws her into a portal to hell where she encounters the "Clown Cafe" again. Sienna dies and is resurrected by the sword. She decapitates Art while he's biting into Jonathan's calves, the Little Pale Girl takes his head and leaves the two alone.

In a mid-credits scene, an orderly is heard humming a "The Clown Cafe" theme song and tells another orderly she picked the tune up from Victoria. Victoria is down the hall, reinstitutionalized, writing "Vicky + Art" and obscenities on the wall with her own blood. She gives birth to Art's living head. Victoria's eyes glow exactly like The Pale Girl's eyes.

Production

Writing

"...That was my favorite character that I ever wrote, ever. So I knew that character was always there; I knew one day I was going to bring that character back and finally make a movie with her. So she is the heart and soul of Part 2, and everything revolves around that character. So I always knew that seed was there."

— Damien Leone on the evolution of Sienna Shaw[10]

Leone revealed February 12, 2019, in a post on his social media showing the cover page, that the first draft of the screenplay was complete.[11] Leone envisioned the concept of the film dating back to 2008—with an idea of an angel-warrior costumed heroine battling the Art the Clown character. This heroine was the basis of Sienna, who Leone wanted to bring back for Terrifier 2, which he knew he wanted to make while filming the first film. The writing process for the film differed from Leone's previous film projects, in which he had to work around part-time jobs. Leone spent three consecutive months writing. Much of his focus was on developing a character that could rival Art in popularity. When he was not writing, he would read books about screenwriting and listen to screenwriters discuss their processes with writing.[12][10]

He opted to bring back the angel-attired heroine a decade later and adapt her into Sienna Shaw.[10] Leone described much of the screenplay revolving around the teenage girl, his favorite character he has ever written.[10] Leone describes the screenplay as much bigger in scope than the previous film and recollects not considering a budget while writing.[10]

One of the factors during writing was establishing an adversary to Art—something inspired by the relationship between superhero Batman and supervillain Joker.[13] During a lunch with Leone and David Howard Thornton, the actress who plays Sienna, Lauren LaVera, was told of this intended dynamic between her character and Art.[13] Besides Sienna, LaVera recollects the script focusing heavily on Sienna's younger brother Jonathan, their mother, and her friends—all of whom play a crucial part in the story.[13]

Casting

Both Thornton and Scaffidi were confirmed to reprise their respective roles of Art and Victoria,[15] becoming the only returning cast members of the prior film, other than a brief voice cameo by Michael Leavy (who played Will the Exterminator in the original film) as the Club Announcer and DJ voice, and Corey Duval, who returns as the coroner from the first installment. There were also reports of Steven Della Salla and Jason Leavy, the two cops in the original film, returning in cameo appearances as well; the three are all producers on the second installment.[16] On September 11, 2019 it was announced that actress Lauren LaVera was cast in the lead role of Sienna Shaw. On October 15, it was announced that Felissa Rose, Chris Jericho and Tamara Glynn had joined the cast in cameo roles.[17][18] Actress Leah Voysey had auditioned for Sienna and her friends Ally and Brooke before co-producer Jason Leavy, who knew about Voysey's singing and guitar skills, invited her to be the host that performed a song in the Clown Cafe dream sequence, which after being filmed led to Leone bringing Voysey to appear as a nurse in the credits scene.[19]

Filming

While Leone had secured full funding for the film from a handful of private investors prior to filming, he launched an Indiegogo with a $50k goal to finance a practical effects driven scene and to attach a well known actor to the project. The campaign was a major success, grossing over $125k in the first week.[20] It reached a total of $250k by the end of the campaign, 430% more than the initial goal.

Filming began in October 2019.[21] While a majority of the film's main story line had already been completed, principal photography was halted due to COVID-19, becoming one of many films affected by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.[22] On September 7, Leone revealed that he was in the process of working on the prosthetic makeup for Victoria's disfigured face in preparation of filming Samantha Scaffidi's scenes.[23] As Sienna's costume received a positive reception when production stills were officially released, when asked about the attire, LaVera described liking it on the first day of wearing it but began to feel disdain for it throughout the course of filming as it was uncomfortable to wear. She even obtained blisters from wearing it.[24] Filming quietly resumed and wrapped on July 10, 2021.[25] The post-credits scene would originally reveal Art growing out of the back of Victoria's head, but once Malignant had a similar getup for its villain, Leone discarded it and shot another sequence where Victoria gave birth to Art's head.[26]

Marketing

A teaser trailer for Terrifier 2 was released on July 24, 2020.[27][28] MovieWeb's Jeremy Dick commented on the teaser, stating that "the teaser is pretty exciting to watch for anyone who enjoyed the first movie."[29]

It was also announced that a three-issue limited release comic book series would be issued prior to the film's release.[30][31]

Special effects

The film has gained significant media coverage because of the gore effects, particularly for the notorious "Bedroom Scene," depicting the lengthy murder of the supporting character Allie (Casey Hartnett).[32] Leone has stated it was the most challenging and technical scene to film out of the entire production—three minutes depicting mutilation.[32] Leone had to create a life-size replica puppet of Hartnett that could work as an animatronic.[32] He stated, "I had people under the bed with rods going through it into her limbs and behind the wall operating her head. I put some rubber gloves in her chest with tubing to have her breathe."[32] Leone digitally added Hartnett's eye onto the puppet when Allie awakens to her mother.[32]

Release

Terrifier 2 had its world premiere at the Fantastic Fest on August 29, 2022,[33] and screened the same day at Fright Fest in London.[34] It was theatrically released on October 6, 2022 by Bloody Disgusting.[33] The film was later available to stream on Screambox, as well as play at various "prominent genre festivals" prior to its official release.[6] Leone had previously expressed a desire to release the picture "road show style" once finished.[35][36]

While initially set for a one-week limited theatrical release, audience demand led Bloody Disgusting to announce that Terrifier 2 would remain in theaters for a second weekend on October 12, 2022.[37] On October 17, this run was extended once more for another week.[38]

The film was released for VOD on November 11, 2022, followed by a Blu-ray and DVD release on December 27, 2022.[39] It grossed $3.4 million in home sales.[40] In June 2024, a VHS version of the film was released by Witter Entertainment through Walmart.[41]

Reception

Box office

Terrifier 2 was released in 886 theaters in the United States, grossing $400,000 on its opening day.[42] It went on to debut to $805,000, and then made $1 million the following weekend (an increase of 28%). Variety called the film's success a "shock" to the industry due to its low budget, limited mainstream marketing, and lack of marquee stars.[3] Through its first two weeks of release, the film had grossed $3.4 million.[43] Expanding to 1,550 theaters in its fourth weekend (an increase of 795) the film made $1.8 million, for a running total of $10.1 million as of November 2022.[44]

Speaking of the film's box office success, Leone said, "I did not expect it to make this kind of splash or play in theaters, honestly, other than maybe a few arthouse theaters. To see it snowballing, the word of mouth growing, people getting sick and fainting and it really taking off, I never expected this or for it to make millions of dollars in theaters."[45]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 86% of 78 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "Terrifier 2 outdoes the original in every way – which makes it bad news for the squeamish, but a bloody good time for genre enthusiasts."[46] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 59 out of 100, based on eight critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[47]

Jeffrey Anderson of Common Sense Media described the characters as memorable, particularly Sienna, due to her character development. Anderson states that "human life starts to matter more here than it did in the first film."[48] Matt Donato of IGN while stating the film has "underdeveloped subplots and themes" noted it as an improvement of the original film and highlighted the performance of LaVera, writing that she "rules as Sienna in her angel-winged fantasy armor as a final girl fighting for family, facing her demons, and screaming bloody war cries in Art's mocking face."[49] Matthew Jackson of Paste wrote that "LaVera, tasked with injecting humanity into the sequel, lives up to this task with pure star power."[50] Trace Sauveur of The Austin Chronicle praised the "sense of physicality and comic timing" of Thornton.[51] Sammy Gecsoyler from The Guardian rated the film a total of three stars out of five, praising the film's creative kills, and performances, while giving some criticism towards its runtime.[52]

The film was not without its detractors. Owen Gleiberman of Variety commended the film for effectively capturing the look and feel of 1970's and 1980's slasher films, as well as the soundtrack and special effects, but was critical of the relentless brutality and unsympathetic characters.[53] Adam Graham of The Detroit News rated the film a grade D, calling it "[a] bludgeoning exercise in splatter, which drags on well past the two hour mark with no sense of purpose other than its own inert attempts to shock."[54]

Audience response

Following its release, there were several reports of viewers vomiting and fainting during their screenings of Terrifier 2, with one instance allegedly having emergency services being called.[55][56] Speaking on the audience reactions to the film, director Damien Leone remarked, "Listen, I would have loved to have a couple of walk-outs, I think that's sort of a badge of honor because it is an intense movie. I don't want people fainting, getting hurt during the movie. But it's surreal."[57]

Sequel

Main article: Terrifier 3

In 2019, both Leone and Thornton stated that a Terrifier 3 is planned,[59] along with further installments that will slowly build on Art's background and motives.[60] In October 2022, Leone said he had an entire treatment for a third film but it "is getting so big that it could potentially split into a Part 4 because [he] wouldn't want to make another 2 hour 20 minute movie."[45] The Coven Films, a French distribution company and executive producer of the series, announced in May 2023 that filming for the third would begin in either November or December of that year with an expected release in late 2024, a "low-mid seven figure budget." Leone, producer Phil Falcone, and actors David Howard Thornton and Lauren LaVera are all slated to reprise their roles.[61][62]

Principal photography commenced by July 2023.[63] The film is set during Christmas.[64] In October of the same year, it was announced that the first trailer for the sequel would debut on November 1, 2023, exclusively during a theatrical re-release of Terrifier 2.[65]
