Terrifier 2 (2022) Movie Review

Yesterday's post was all about the Terrifier 1 movie that aired in 2016. In case you want to read my initial review say no more and click here. So something notable about the first movie is that they had a 35000$ budget and managed to earn around 400000 dollars/gross. So basically 10x times their budget.

Having that success in 2022 the next Terriffier movie came out. The budget this time was increased significantly but not like every other mainstream movie to 250000$. Now they managed to earn back almost 60 times that amount, yes you heard correctly 60 times or 15.741.780$ to be exact. They did freaking amazing and that's why a third movie came out this year which i will review tomorrow.

Get ready for some minor spoilers but not any big-time things

Plot

So at the end of episode one Art the Clown pretty much dies but we get to see him again alive in the second movie. That is why a sinister entity decided to resurrect him and sent him to kill a teenage girl and boy along with everyone else in his path. The theme is again Halloween and the the teenagers are Sienna and her younger brother Jonathan.

The twist in this movie which also gives some stranger things vibes as it's like everything happening a couple of years ago from 2022, is that there is an actual plot. It's not just Art killing every single person just because, well he does, but there is a deeper story behind these teenagers so now the movies get more interesting due to that.

What I Liked and What I Didn't

For starters, as i said there is an actual plot which is quite good for the show as i believe you enjoy it more that way. I also think due to that i became more successful. If it was again just random killings i don't think it would earn 60 times its budget. Also, the plot was quite decent to be honest and you wanted as a viewer to find out what will happen next.

Regarding the special effects, ofc with more budget everything got better, the same applies to the actors and cast, as there were more and the same also applies to the variety in places comparing it to the first movie. Again the "fun" element was there and to tell you the truth i find Art act more like a "clown" than the first moving, with more funny scenes and him trolling his victims. Honestly speaking i liked it a lot and suggested it to 2 friends who also don't watch horror. They both watched the 3 movies in 2 days and had fun as well!

Let me know about your thoughts on the first and second movies!
