The new horror movie, Terrifier 2, was released in the US on October 6. This movie, directed by Damien Leone, created a stir in cinemas because it has caused members of the audience to pass out because of the violence.
Terrifier 2, following the 2016 film Terrifier, is about Art the Clown haunting siblings on Halloween.
As with any slasher film, there are scenes of gore and violence, but this movie has proven itself to be on a new level.
#Terrifier2 returns to 700 theaters this weekend! Streaming news coming soon.

Viewer discretion is advised, as there have been reports of the uncut film causing viewers to faint and vomit. pic.twitter.com/ECJVa4xuIf
Movie theaters have had to call ambulances to assist viewers that reacted very negatively to the scenes, whether that be passing out or throwing up.
One fan recounts his experience of his friend passing out while watching the movie. “The theater called an ambulance. Highly recommended,” they said.

Despite the overwhelming terror this movie has caused, it has been rated highly on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans, as well, are finding themselves enjoying the intensity of the movie.
This fan says that they are often unfazed by intense gore in horror movies, but found themselves shocked by how intense it was in Terrifier 2.

I love me some over the top blood and gore, but even I who is almost never fazed, could only say "holy shit" and "Jesus Christ" the whole time 😂
