I was thinking that about slasher sequels too. I just think back to sequels like Elm Street 2 or Halloween 2 (which I actually enjoy but just talking about public perception here) which were largely more of the same but worse and less exciting.

I mean horror in general, not just slashers, just don't do sequels well. Honestly, it's difficult to be scared by the same thing twice. With Art though, I just feel like he has a ton of sadistic tricks left up his sleeve.

I wanted to touch on the psychological elements more. It's a bit easy to overlook Art and the little girl's relationship with everything else going on (and the fact it's played as a kind of whimsical rom-com thing) but it's actually one of the most fucked up parts of the film. And it's interesting to glimpse further into Art's mind and see just how he perceives his victims if his gory slayings weren't already enough. Did you feel there were more focus on facial disfigurement in this film compared to the more genital focused attacks of Terrifier 1? Or just me?

And I definitely think the supernatural elements will get more explanation and will probably make this film's elements of that better in retrospect! Perhaps I'm just not mentally prepared for this trilogy's lofty aspirations yet!
