It happened. Those who were traumatized by the previous parts of the horror movie "Terrifier" must brace themselves for the fact that there will be more and more about the third installment of the horror series online. A film that nobody wanted to release into theatres for a long time.

The first film in the "Terrifier" series by Damien Leone was made for around $35,000, which is peanuts considering the conditions in the film industry. The horror movie received mixed reviews from critics, but among fans of the genre, it became almost a cult production. The story of Art the Clown, terrorising people trapped in a deserted ruin, was a traumatic experience for many viewers. The film wasn't shown in many theatres, but it started circulating on streaming services and DVD. The second part could only be worse.

"Terrifier" continues to traumatize viewers

"Terrifier 2: Holiday Massacre" is one of this decade's most talked-about horror films. As soon as reports emerged from the US that people were fainting or vomiting (!) during screenings and theatre staff were calling emergency medical services, the film became a hit. Damien Leone's work, with a budget of $250,000, earned over $15 million. It was clear that Leone would go further and show his fans a continuation. The author allowed himself to add even more violence to the already critically brutal story, which Hollywood studios did not receive well.

Leone recently revealed that the opening scene of "Terrifier 3" is so terrifying that no film studio would ever allow him to shoot it. "So remember my words. I guarantee you that the first five minutes of this movie will be very controversial. But that's not even the biggest murder scene. That's why I thought I had to make this film myself because it's just too... too crazy," he said.

The third installment of the slasher made it to theatres. Americans have been able to watch the film since September 19 at 6 PM EST.

Those who have already seen the continuation are warning viewers who might consider attending a screening. "Fools, you have no idea what awaits you in 'Terrifier 3'. You will never believe what my eyes saw," writes one viewer quoted by Digital Spy. "Shocking and disarming at the same time," writes another with stronger nerves. "The most disgusting, nasty, and bloody thing I have ever seen," they add. Who will dare to watch it?
