  "This maybe hit the cinemas a month too early as there's a distinctly festive feel to this latest outing for the menacing "Art" the clown. He descends upon the townsfolk with blood-thirsty enthusiasm causing some brutal carnage but then he and his equally heinous pal "Vicky" (Samantha Scaffidi) go for a long nap. It's a pair of unfortunate demolition guys who provide their wake up entertainment and rejuvenated, they set out in search of "Sienna" (Lauren LaVera) and brother "Jonathan" (Elliott Fulham) - and woe betides anyone who gets in the way - even if you are dressed as Santa Claus. This is by far the best of the three so far, I think. There's much less repetition with the standard slashing-fayre and a bit more, dare I say, intimacy from our "Terrifier" as David Howard Thornton imbues his character with more akin to an emotional and quirky mime artist. There's more sadness, mischief and playfulness as he wields everything from an axe to a chain-saw. Shower sex might never be the same again! It's really the last half hour that gets it moving and though that scenario is largely predictable and I have to say that none of the speaking-part acting here is really very good, the tension mounts nicely and there's an entertaining degree of shock mixed with dark humour and Christmas gifts to raise a smile and maybe the one hair on the back of your neck towards the denouement. Sure, it's formulaic and there aren't so many surprises, but they are getting better and moving away from the Hammer style of ketchup gore and annoying, hysterical, frat-style characters that we've seen before. It's entirely forgettable, and far too long, but I did quite enjoy it."

  "The weakest Terrifier. Strong performances but the pacing could be better. The shorter run time is a plus when the story is not as engaging as in the previous ones."

  Rating: 3/10

  "The third installment of Terrifier promised to surpass the expectations of slasher fans, but unfortunately, it falls short due to a script that loses its way halfway through the movie. What begins as an intriguing narrative with potential to explore Art the Clown’s backstory quickly dissolves into a series of chaotic, disconnected scenes that seem to exist solely to justify the excess of gore. Character development is practically non-existent, and any attempt to offer a narrative arc is abandoned in favor of an endless parade of graphic violence. While the special effects are impressive and true to the visceral spirit of the saga, it feels like an empty spectacle without a story to support it. For fans of extreme gore, Terrifier 3 might meet expectations, but even for them, the lack of coherence in the script and the absence of a solid plot might prove frustrating. What could have been an opportunity to take the franchise to new levels of depth and creativity ends up being an exercise in shock for shock’s sake. In conclusion, Terrifier 3 gets lost in its own excess, leaving viewers with an empty, exhausting experience that, while visually impactful, lacks narrative purpose."
