Did anyone else catch the homage to "A Nightmare on Elm Street" with the "No running in the halls" bit? Ha, loved it
Yeah did that was EXACTLY what came to mind actually little bit b4 that when the lil brother held the plank of a hall pass as he was drinking from the water fountain & then lead up to that scene u r referring to.
Screw your pass!
It's crazy how Art began as a short film called The 9th Circle in 2008, another short film called Terrifier in 2011, to being in an anthology that's dedicated to the character of Art in 2013, called All Hallow's Eve, to now being in his second film of his own franchise. Art has experienced an evolution unlike any other horror villain before him.
Terrifier was 2018...
@@abandonedtownexplorations8736 There was a short film Terrifier before the Terrifier film.
Too bad the new movie sucked…
@@deadschooled damn really?
@@abandonedtownexplorations8736 my friend liked it. I didn’t. We had the same problems with it. But he liked it and I didn’t. So you may or may not enjoy it
The fact that you said the hacksaw kill was topped makes me excited to see what the movie has in store.
The hacksaw kill is honestly one of the most gnarly deaths i've seen in a horror movie, another awesome kill is from the Freaky movie with Vince Vaughn, that one with the professor played by Ferris Bueller friend
True I wonder what he did
@@DodoRibeiro-ts6po it’s so hard to come by creativity nowadays when slashers back then did a lot. Especially the nightmare on elm street franchise like tell me what franchise would you expect a girl to get her elbows snapped and turned into a cockroach or a guy’s veins being used as puppet strings.
The kill scene that rivals the hacksaw scene in part 2 is the yellow room scene. You won’t be disappointed. I saw the world premier at Frightfest in London three weeks ago.
@@BrandonJames2016 NOES had many creative kills back in the day, the puppet one in part 3, the girl turned into a cockroach and smashed in part 4, the OG Johnny Depp death, the sleeping driving guy in part 5. Also the Child's Play/Chucky has some creative deaths as well
My favourite nod in Terrifier 2 happened during the scene in the Halloween store, in which Art was toying with Sienna and started whirling the same noisemaker that Tim Curry's Pennywise spun to harass Richie in the library in the 1990 IT miniseries.
Can't say it enough, Art breaking out a nine and shooting the protaganist is one of the most genre breaking, traditional narrative busting actions ever. What a great movie. Can't wait to see part 2.
It's not really genre-breaking, Ghostface uses a gun multiple times. It's only a surprise because he pulls it out of nowhere without the viewer expecting it.
saying it one time was enough thanks for the spoil
@@ajm865 my pleasure friend!
@@cgimichaelmyers2806 ghost face is lame and gay like bruh who tf says put on that scream movie
@@ajm865 The first terrifier movie was released in 2016 so I think you've had more than enough time to watch it. There's no need to complain about spoilers
All I gotta say is that girl Should’ve gave Art candy when he was trick or treating.
… when he came back later. One of the most twisted sick scenes.
But beautiful horror
I love that scene
I LOVED terrifier 2. The practical effects make it have the feel of an 80s slasher which I love! Absolutely loved it.
I love the fact that they do not show you too much of Art’s backstory. The musical scene, and the scene in the third act where Sienna has to go to a. certain place. It gives you enough to try and join the dots yourself.
Who cares, why give so much info. Let us, figure it out. Horror flick should be mysterious. 😂
Or the opening scene with the costume. Paid homage to nightmare 3 opening.
As someone who appreciated the original Terrifier, but also didn't like the nihilism, I'm glad this one has a story and a protagonist. Thanks for a great spoiler-free review!
It's a horror film lol. There's always some aspect of that by the killer namely in a slasher horror.
@@B1Kobe0824 Yeah, I get that. And I don't mind it as long as it's done well. The Dark and The Wicked is an example of a nihilistic horror film that gave you protagonists to root for even as the walls close in around them. Many other such examples.
@@B1Kobe0824 The problem though is in the execution the first one had no story at all besides the Clown guy kills random people and because it's so constant dark toned you already know what's going to happen to the characters so it becomes torture porn and torture porn with little to no story isn't that entertaining. The second was slightly better still not great it had more story but never explained any of it the kills were better but it was also overlong with sequences and kills extended just for the sake of it. Unless you just love the gore of these movies and that's all you need there really isn't anything else to them even though most of the characters are weak, to be honest.
@@boomstickcritique902 well how familiar are you with horror? Namely 70's - 80's classic horror/slashers????
Surely you've heard of a classic called Halloween released in 1978? There was a killer influenced by an unknown evil force and killed random people for reasons unknown. The film and others to follow had a dark tone and was a bit of a dimly lit film.
And did you catch Art's entrance that was very reminiscent of Freddy's in the original A Nightmare on Elm St.
Then lastly there's the gritty 80's Grindhouse horror films that were gore films.
You see today fans either don't know or forget that making movies are an art form. And in that they can be as surreal as a painting or a sculpture.
Fans today's treat movies like a term paper in an English class always looking for a particular structure and for every detail to be laid out for them.
Did you know that the original Halloween wasn't intended to have sequels? And that Michael was just to have disappeared in the dead of night leaving what happened to him up to the imagination of the audience?
Fans today are lost when it comes to movies. That's why I always say today fans aren't the fans they used to be. Back in the day fans didn't look for trailers, information, or watch movies to critique them. They just went to have fun.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying certain kind of films or them being done a particular way. But fans really need to get back to understanding the genre, the art of filmmaking and the different ways of making them. That including understanding the artist's imagination and motivation for making the individual films that are out there.
@@boomstickcritique902 and understand too especially in a series the plot and some details aren't going to be revealed all in the first film. That would leave it nowhere to go. There's a build up where more is learned over time. I had to explain this to people with series like the new Halloween films that it was trilogy that re-established the franchise back to its original concept without the sibling angle that was added in the original sequel and had a conclusion where it didn't before.
So glad you enjoyed it! I’m also not convinced by the runtime, but at least it sounds positive that they are going for a sequel to round out the story. Can’t wait to see it soon!
Just saw it. It is too long but its still worth a watch
Just saw it the guy above me is wrong it totally warrants the run time and is awesome!
@@trevorgollaher1251 nah you’re wrong. I didnt say it was bad but it is too long. Its exactly like pirates of the Caribbean 2- first movie was self contained and shorter, second movie was MASSIVE and longer, and set up a lot of questions that aren’t answered so that they can conclude it with Terrifier 3. Still worth a watch
It’s about an hour too long. It sucks... A LOT
I mean its only 2h20minutes if you count the 10minute credits. Alltho i guess there was that few minute post credit scene.
Just watched this movie and your review is SPOT ON. I had the exact same thoughts, especially about the negatives. But still a blast
Your experience sounds badass!!!! I’m so glad you and Uncle Sean are having a great time.
It sounds like Damien Leone took the criticisms of the first film to heart and genuinely tried to improve upon them. I have a lot of appreciation and respect to him for that. What a concept right? A director who listens to the fans!
I’ve had a good feeling about this one for a long while. I enjoy the first Terrifier for exactly what it is and have always thought it had the seeds planted to be a great new franchise.
Such an awesome horror flick… these guys killed it. So impressed with what they created!
I'd say leaving questions unanswered is a strength for any horror film. The more you understand about most horror film antagonists, the less creepy they get.
Yup
The only problem is when they have a scene where a Demon child only the heroes can see is shown mimicking voices like Terminators can. I can suspend my disbelief but that's where I draw the line, lol.
@@libradawg9 Yeah for horror films typically though you're entering something so outlandish anyway that an immense disbelief suspension is the only way you'll get through it. But point taken, sometimes it just stretches too much. For me it's every time in a slasher film where the murderer is wounded or incapacitated and the victims have a golden opportunity to smash them into red paste. And what do the victims do? Run away. Even Terrifier is guilty of this and it drives me fucking nuts.
@@libradawg9 lol yea that was too much and threw me off. this movie had a little too much going on. but all i watched for was the gore and it delivers that.
@@darkpark6531 And most of the time they drop the weapon right by the killer's side. I didn't hate it, but since Art knows how to text they should've stuck with that method if he wanted to lure her.
In the first 30 seconds - Terrifier, metal, an Evil Dead reference, and guitars. No idea how I'm just now finding out about your channel. Subscribed.
Jesus Cody! You’re almost at 100k! Congrats brother! I’ve been following you for a long time and I’m just so happy to see your progression and doing your thing. You deserve it buddy!! Keep up the great work
I like how Chris Jericho is just casually in the picture on the far right. Awesome review Cody. Glad your having a great time
Hopefully y2j put art in the walls!
The movie kicks ass, movie was long but I didn't feel it start to drag or bore me at all, I was having a great time the whole time and I'm gonna watch it again whenever it comes to streaming. I didn't have a big crowd to feed off of (theater had like 12 people at most) but I still felt the energy. Art the Clown kicked ass, iconic to me no matter how popular he does or doesn't get
Yeah, it was long, but it kept me engaged and wanting to see what happens next, even during the end credits. I thought the ending was kinda cheap, but it does make me want to know more about Sienna and her father.
The girl who played Angela on Sleepaway Camp is the teacher getting onto the boys by the dumpster.
Man I just finished the sequel. Bedroom scene was the most memorable kill in this movie imo
Didn’t even know a slasher could be over 2 hours. This sounds awesome.!
Agreed
More art is more art ha
I’m stoked for this. ‘It tops the hacksaw killing’ (from first film)…….WOW ! Art is incredibly portrayed, not just the costume/make-up but the myriad facial expressions. As I said, I’m stoked for this flick.
Saw the original terrifier because of the review from you about a week ago on tubi. Will need to check this out in theaters.
God I'm so excited to see this with my mom and dad when it comes out. We loved the first one so much
@RUNLNGCWBY none of my friends are slasher fans
@RUNLNGCWBY someone’s got childhood trauma lol try kindness. You can have friends and still enjoy doing things with your parents.
@@Seven7eIeven11 Thank you for that
It is easier for me to imagine you watching it like Norman Bates with a wig and robe on, than it is for me to imagine a family watching Terrifier together. But I'm jealous of your family being cool.
Interesting family dynamic
i really like this review. You are definetly informed and honest.
Its refreshing to see your videos in comparison to other channels.
Keep it up pal
Thank you!
Almost 100k man you deserve it your one of the best reviewers out there you and Sean are the goats
Chucky season 2, predator, Halloween, pinhead, art the clown, pearl and x great year for horror providing those turn out to be as good as I think
Forgot Black phone and Barbarian
Hellraiser 2022
Scream 2022 as well and Scream 2 (97) is getting a re-release with extra footage
@@tegan9243 I didn't know about the scream 2 re-release
@@KCM316 black phone was more of a thriller
Extremely thorough review which is much appreciated by us fans that are very excited for this one. You always do a great job!
Saw this at Frightfest. Bloody. Loved it. The time flew by.
This year has been amazing
100% agreed. Across all genres.
Never been so excited to see a new horror film in theatres!
So glad to hear your views on this and that you are onboard with Art now man. Was so upset and surprised that you weren’t sold by the first one..really thought it would be a film that would get you all pumped. Really can’t wait to see this now after your reaction. You rock Cody!!
I've been hyped for a Terrified sequel since I watched the first one. All Hallows Eve was... Ok.... Art was really what carried those 2 movies so its good to hear there's a lot more to appreciate with this film. Sounds like I might need a cig afterwards
If they topped that hacksaw kill from the first movie as Cody says, i'm definitely sold on this movie
How would that even be possible!? Haha
I’m glad you liked it ❤ I can’t wait to see it!
The kid in the movie is a TH-camr who reviews metal. Looking forward to seeing this one.
Oh yeah, the dude from "little Punk people" I didn't even pick up on that.
Gonna have to pop the store and grab a beer as I've been looking forward to this review.
It's so awesome to hear that you love this movie! I cannot wait to go see this on opening night. I'm actually more excited for this movie than Halloween Ends lol
I honestly have no desire to see Halloween Ends. Wasn't a fan of the 2018 version and Kills was an embarrassment. Terrifier 2 SHIT all over the newest Halloweens.
All Hallow’s Eve basically hints that Art the Clown is a supernatural being. I’m not sure if you’ve seen it but it’s a Halloween anthology film where a babysitter and the two kids find a tape in one of their goody bags and they watch the tape. Art is on the tape at some parts and then they show some other demonic beings on the tape as well (like the little girl in Terrifier 2 but she’s not in the movie, just other beings are shown on the tape in that movie besides Art) and then Art pops up in their house after the tape is done. So you watch the tape as the characters are watching it and then the third act is the end of the tape, the kids go to bed, and Art appears in the house (that’s all I’m gonna say). Not sure if a lot of people knew that All Hallow’s Eve introduced Art though. I highly recommend watching All Hallow’s Eve for sure if you wanna see more of Art and see where the character started.
I loved this movie, and i loved the final girl, my new favorite final girl. This is a 4k bluray buy
Art freaking terrifies me, man! Did you ever see The 9th Circle? I read about it and I guess that's where Art's character sort of debuted but I haven't seen it. Also sounds scary af!
Word is all you ever have to watch is All Hallows’ Eve, he did make an appearance there & I think was better than 1st Terrifier!
I didn’t understand the sword glowing at the end. I have a few questions.
In the first movie when Art gets tired of chasing the girl so he throws down the machete and pulls out a gun and shoots her😂😂 that’s a first in a slasher film I knew Art was here to stay.
Despite the overlong running time I'm looking forward to seeing this. Your review does help since the original was what is was hearing your positivity really helped.
I love the new background!!! You should do something like this
There's so much about this one that took Art to a while new level. Art's lil side kick, the Uber gory kills. (Bleach and salt in wounds 😱😱😱😱). Sienna as a final girl! This movie had it all!
Sounds like a fun time at that theatre. David’s a really nice guy. Also gotta say Sean’s studio looks good on you😁 Thanks for sharing your thoughts I’ll be watching at home on my comfy sofa so as to not get a sore ass from all the sitting lol. I’m glad you liked it I’m looking forward to seeing it. Thanks for telling us about it.
This movie is pretty good. I didn’t understand the second clown. Where did she come from?
So happy to hear this. I've been waiting on this for a long time
I loved the first movie. I didn't know about it until I first watched it on Tubi. And fou.d out that they were making a second one. I can't wait to see the second movie.
Couldn’t wait for this review! Love your take on horror and just movies in general. Keep up the good work! 👏🏻
I am blisteringly excited about this! I was an instant Art the Clown devotee. I've been anxiously waiting for this one! I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to see this. 🤡
Saw it yesterday. It was hilarious and I had so much fun watching it. Love Art the Clown as a character. The blood didn’t look real so I wasn’t as grossed out as I thought I would be.
Agree with the questions unanswered. It was annoying. Also the very last scene after the credits?? Guess they are planning for a third movie lol.
Pleasantly surprised you enjoyed this. Can’t wait to check it out
Great review! I seen an interview with damion lione and he said he has a full trilogy story arc in mind. So im guessing/hoping that any questions left open were left open to bring the full arc/story to a fully satisfying end in the 3rd
I’m freakin pumped. Thanks for the review man.
Hyped to see this. Glad to hear it's bigger and better.
Let’s go!!! Love seeing the channel continue to grow
Cody thanks for the entertainment throughout the years.
I loved All Hallows Eve & Terrifier.
(Even got an Art the Clown t-shirt.)
So yeah, I'm gonna see this. 👍💯
Man..I really like this background... gives some nice vibes... you should keep it... 👍👍
After watching this review today (I'll still watch it eventually, I'm not bothered by spoilers or anything), my Facebook memories reminded me that I watched the first one 4 years ago today. So this was perfect timing.
the lack of a protagonist or story at all on the first one, it made me doubt of the sequel. but after this review I am anxious to see what the clown has to offer.
It's incredible this movie has now made millions. So hopefully we'll get a 3 soon.
I want to see the film.🎭🎞🎬
did you watch the movie? is it disgusting?
Whoa! I just read online Terrifier only cost $35k to make, and Terrifier 2 is $250k. That's insane
the Actress that portrayed Sienna stole the movie and by the end of the film, made you rooting for her!
I really enjoyed this but completely agree with the points about the narrative feeling unfinished. I was convinced that Art was going to have some big connection to Sienna’s father, possibly even in fact be her father
No one talks about the movie all hallows eve. That was my introduction to art the clown.
I know right
Congrats on 100
Art is the only horror villain that actually freaks me out. I quit watching one of the movies, the one with the kids and babysitter. Then I watched the first movie hack saw and all and that freaked me out. I very much appreciate Art the Clown though, it's not easy to be a silent menace.
When I examined these I watched All Hallows Eve and for me the supernatural aspect showed a small amount in the first. Thinking the third will be far more violent is hard to grasp yet that is Art the Clown .
Omgggg we can’t wait to see this!!! Art the Clown scares the heck outta us! 🥺
I just met David at creepycon and he did photo ops in costume 😄
The best part of it is that he is not afraid to use any weapon even guns Just when I think he's going to pull out a knife he pulls a gun out
I really enjoyed the first Terrifier. Can't wait to see the second. From what I been hearing it won't disappoint me
Low key more excited for this than Halloween Ends
Meeee too. I love Halloween and I'm excited for Ends, but this is legit just a bit higher on my list.
Hi twin
Art took myers n othe4s crown
Tbh, I ain’t kidding Halloween Ends started just ok, derailed midway & ended like a masterpiece. This one though started STRONG, up until the final act, it was kinda cringy. I enjoyed both though.
Now I’m even more pumped to see it thanks to your review!
What was the Nightmare on Elm Street 4 reference?? I love that one and I just watched Terrifier 2 for the first time and I don’t remember!
Is it when Sienna is getting ready for the party? I could see that as a reference to Alice suiting up for the final battle with Freddy, but if there is something else can someone please help?
Who doesn't love Art the clown! I still can't stop thinking of the opening scene in Terrifier!!
You should talk about All Hallows' Eve, the first movie appearance of Art the Clown.
First art the clown appearance is the 9th circle
@@timtags huh?
@@jarrodedson5441 he’s saying art the clown first appeared in the short film the 9th circle not All Hallows’ eve
@@Native174 whats the 9th circle?
@@jarrodedson5441 a short film that came out in 2008 by director Damion Leone where art made his first appearance
The fact you mentioned Chris Stuckmann blew my mind. Both you and Chris Stuckmann are the critics I watch. Also respect to Sean Chandler! Can't wait for Terrifier 2!
I don't mind Art being a little bit of a mystery. One thing we agree on is Art is a little crazy..
It was nightmare on elm street 3 that this film gave reference to and it’s one of the highest praised sequels of the franchise
It's dope that you and Sean are such good friends.
That’s awesome.. worked for Alamo Drafthouse corporate and handled sxsw and fantastic film fests.. good times. Left Austin for Denver but damn. Drafthouse curated incredible events. Miss it!
Woah I was concerned before but hearing all this great stuff you have to say I am super excited now!
Been waiting for your review so looking forward to this now Cody!
I haven't watched your videos in a while but I love the new background!!!
Only temporary but thank you!
As David lynch pointed out years ago. Once you reveal the mystery you no longer Care essentially. If you are able to drag out the mystery it allows conversations of how you as a fan ideally make your own answers. Plus interested to see more hoping to get answers that's may never come.
Another great review, thanks for all the great content. 100k coming up...
Just saw this and loved the hell out of it. I can't say enough good things about this film. Off the wall insane, horrifying and disturbing. Loved it!
I want to see it.♥🌈
Cannot believe how many people only know art from Terrifier! All hollows eve is criminally underrated
Cody looking forward to your Halloween Ends movie review, since I relate in your thoughts and criticism to your overall analysis of the new Halloween trilogy.
Anyone else waiting for this movie to come to streams already x.x
11:40 I believe that’s setting up more anticipation for the trilogy
It's a two and a half hour movie you would think they would answer some questions about art the clown but they don't by the time the third movie comes out nobody is going to care or they're going to be disappointed in the answers but that is some speculation on my part all I'm saying is if you are going to do a trilogy providing some answers about the antagonist is the best way to do it especially when the movie is as long as it is quality over quantity
@Cody for the small minority of us who really like horror an suspense but can not "take" the gore would you ever consider doing a top 10 of gore light horror? Just curious since you have seen far far more horror then most of us fans. Regardless, thank you for the channel and the community
Good idea! I loved Netflix's "The Haunting of Hill House" because it scared me and creeped me out without resorting to body horror splatter-fest visuals. (There's nothing wrong with gore if that's someone's thing, but I like being scared *without* it most of the time!)
Oh wow they tried to make a film with an actual story and characters this time? Nice
The 80’S score was great. A Terminator feel.
Sienna is a great final girl. Also, The Pale Girl rules!
It's funny when it comes to Michael Myers too much information messes them up for you like in the Rob zombie movies.
But in terrifier you want to know his backstory and all that
