More than any other show I've ever seen. There's been some seasons that are unwatchable. Like, I quit some seasons after like three episodes. She's the lead in 1984 though and it's probably my favorite season mostly because I'm a huge fan of 80s horror. You can skip every other season before it and just start with this one if you want.

Curse of Chucky (355 points)* *Why I Chose It:* As one of the most iconic characters and franchises in horror movie history, any significant enough film starring the titular living doll is bound to receive a spot on any list. And that's what Curse of Chucky was - a return to form after a near decade of absence and an even longer period since Chucky was ever even considered scary. Helmed by series creator Don Mancini and featuring the return of elements that made the original Child's Play films a success, Curse of Chucky proved essential in returning Chucky to the limelight, spawning a sequel, reboot, and TV series since its release and solidifying Chucky in the big 5 of slashers. red13n: 13 Plasmabeam: 19 fortybelowsummer: 20 Snake: 20 Suprak: 20 rockus: 22 PrinceKaro: 23 Tom Nook: 24 BetrayedTangy: 25 Inviso: 27 thesmark: 27 jcgamer107: 28 Lightning Strikes: 28 FFDragon: 29 Johnbobb: 30 red13n - When this film is on rails and dealing with people discovering that, yes, the creepy doll is trying to murder them, it is at least fun. But then everything jumps ship at the end as they make reference to prior Chucky movies to close out the ending(Movies I've definitely not seen). Being standalone and followable for so long and then just dropping the ball and relying pretty much entirely on knowledge from other movies without anyhting to fill you in on what is going on kind of blows. Plasmabeam - This was my first Chucky story, and I enjoyed it quite a bit (much more than the 2019 Childs Play reboot). That said, Curse of Chucky is a pretty standard slasher flick that ends up being fun but forgettable. fortybelowsummer - Lifes a bitch and then you die, bleeding like a stuck pig. Chucky. You pretty much know what youre going to get with a Chucky movie and this one delivered pretty well. I havent seen quite all of the movies, but this is probably the scariest the little guy has looked. There were some cool deaths, particularly the car crash decapitation. I also appreciated getting some back story on Charles Lee Ray even if it did make him look like a weird loser. Seeing Tiffany pop back up again was great too. Snake - Ive never fully been on board with Chucky. Most of his films are terrible, with the exception of the original, CP2, and this one - Curse. The straight-forward approach works so well here. Just make Chucky a killer doll - BAM! You have some tension, fun creative kills, and a disposable cast of idiots for Chucky to work his magic on. The problem with Chucky is buying him as a credible threat - but something about Chuckys trickery and deception here is next level and its where he truly shines and stands out amongst his slasher brethren. For a slasher sequel, its surprisingly smart and impressively bold just to be so upfront with what the filmmakers had on their hands. It dumps what wasnt working anymore (Chuckys seed for one) but keeps some important comedic elements anyway and sets up a new life for a film series most had written off by that point. It has my respect, its honestly my favorite Chucky film, I rewatched it many times over the years, and while it doesnt have anything to elevate it to an upper echelon of my absolute favorites, it doesnt need to either - sometimes you just want to watch a funny-looking doll kill some people. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Snake5555555555 05/15/22 11:09:18 PM #160:	Suprak - C+ I made a mild criticism of the list that was put together here that there werent any of those dumb fun sort of horror movies. I hadnt seen Curse of Chucky at that point though, and I feel like this movie fits in that category quite nicely. I dont even necessarily think this is a bad movie. Like, I fully admit it isnt a good one either. This isnt that sort of smart horror film you find with a bunch of other movies on this list. Nor is it something that is truly terrifying and really understands how to put that feeling of dread in your mind that will leave you jumping at shadows for weeks to come. That isnt that kind of film, but then again it doesnt set out to be. Sometimes you dont need some deep introspection on the nature of life in your horror film. Sometimes all you want is a silly slasher you and your friends can laugh at together. And that is the niche that Curse of Chucky fills. There is always a certain point where the Childs Play films stop being scary at all, and thats right around the time Chucky starts moving. They keep showing these scenes with little feet scampering about places, and there is no way to make little feet scamper by scary. You could put anything on that of that and it wouldnt be frightening. So there is a certain element of silliness to the movie, knowing you could survive Chucky by putting all the dangerous options in the house on a high enough shelf. The danger of Chucky is always people not knowing hes alive until roughly the second before they die, because otherwise you could just pick him up and stick him in a crib. Theres something hilarious about the fact that Chucky tries to kill someone via carbon monoxide poisoning. You can be sure as hell Michael Meyers isnt pulling that shit. Michael Meyers will crush your head with his bare hands. Meanwhile Chucky is out here consulting his OSHA handbook and seeing what could be potentially fatal. There is a reason the heroine in this movie is a wheelchair bound woman with heart issues, and thats because that is roughly the description of a person that might lose in a fight to a doll. But if anything the Childs Play series is aware of this. It knows its limitations. The two movies before this one just essentially embraced the comedy of the concept and ran with it to absolutely disastrous results. Curse of Chucky tries to integrate some actual horror back into the concept all the while being aware of the fact that the monster here is a two foot tall toy. And likeIm not sure how to phrase this without sounding like Im being sarcastic. I think they execute the horror here as well as they possibly could considering the circumstances. I mean that in a nice way, though. Kind of. Theres so much working against it Chucky isnt intimidating and you know exactly what he is by the sixth film in the series. When you see stuff moving or when he appears somewhere he wasnt, this isnt surprising or shocking or something that catches you off guard. So that familiarity combined with the fact Chucky is a doll limits how frightening something like this can be. But they try. They do various things to indicate he can be a threat and they do it in a way that is un-silly as the set up allows. Youre not dealing with Leprechaun Back 2 The Hood or Seed of Chucky here, and I did appreciate that. Something else that sort of works for me is Chucky himself. A slasher is only as successful as the slasher him or herself, and I kinda like Chucky here more than Ive ever liked Chucky. Once it gets to the flashback scene, from there to the end of the movie I think might be my favorite series from any of the Childs Play movies Ive seen (havent seen anything that comes after this, now). But Chucky is semi-interesting here, and he has a bit of that something special that the slasher needs. He cant have the intimidation factor of Jason or a Michael Meyers, so it relies a lot on his personality and he has just enough to be almost interesting. The rest of the cast is mostly disposable, but have just enough characterization that there is at least some reaction when they die. Chucky caries the film but youre not dealing with complete character vacuums elsewhere. I know this is all faint praise, but I was utterly shocked this wasnt going to be in my bottom five. The last two Childs Play movies I saw from the 2000s were some of the absolute worst horror films Ive ever seen, and Ive never been a fan of Chucky. And then I saw this was direct to video and I was almost dreading watching this one. But, shockingly, impossibly, this almost works. This is close enough to working that whoever directed this needs an award for making this work. This is the MacGuyver award for somehow making something functional out of a pile of trash. I dont want to go over the top with my praise here this isnt a genuinely good film and you cannot go into this with the same expectations of something like that. But if youre looking for a dumb, fairly fun movie to watch with friends and sort of talk through, I feel like this actually works in that capacity. So, perhaps not a good horror movie, but I think it achieves what it sets up to achieve. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Snake5555555555 05/15/22 11:11:29 PM #161:	Rockus - Probably overrating this mostly because it exceeded expectations as a straight-to-video release. Does an all right job balancing between the more straight forward horror Childs Play movies and the goofier funnier Chucky sequels. While it still certainly looks like a cheap digital straight-to-video movie it at least puts some thought into composing a few shots for their single location and for some decent slasher payoffs. Not the best looking movie here but not the worst either. Im not really into the Chucky franchise enough to really get much out of the end credits stuff but I always like seeing Jennifer Tilly in something. PrinceKaro - Chucky is sent to some people in the mail for reasons where he of course wrecks his usual havoc, causing blood, guts and snarky one-liners to flow freely. They do actually give Chucky a motive to kill these people that makes sense, rather than his usual 'I'm going to draw needless attention to myself by stabbing everyone when I should be just focusing on getting a new body'. For the first half hour the film is subtle and well directed, however, once the evil cabbage patch kid starts walking and talking, the wheels quickly fall off and everything goes to absolute shit in terms of quality. The story becomes increasingly schlocky the longer it goes on, and by the finish it is such a trainwreck that it is barely recognizable from what it began as. It is like you are trying to make a more serious and mature Chucky movie, until you just randomly arent anymore? I get the feeling that they wanted to do something more here than just make a cheap sequel, but whatever the hell it was they certainly didnt achieve it. Tom Nook - I've never actually thought a Chucky movie was good, and yet I've watched all of them. They are very generic and passable slashers, but with a tiny foul mouthed doll instead. I've always thought they over relied on him being foul-mouthed, as if I'm supposed to be grinning every time he says "fuck" as he's about to kill someone. This one was better than several of the others in the series (Child's Play 2 is the best one), so there is still some mild entertainment to be had just to see how the kills play out. The story about Chucky being this girl's dad was very stupid though, and felt like the biggest afterthought the writer had when they realized there wasn't much to the script. BetrayedTangy - Curse of Chucky is a hard movie for me to rank personally. Not only did I watch the sequel first (which I also happen to enjoy way more), but I also feel like this movie starts off suspenseful and interesting, but then just kind of gets worse as it continues. I liked the initial setup with Nica and her relationship with her mom and sister, all while the Chucky plot builds underneath. The chili scene in particular was incredibly intense, but then right after that its like the plot completely veers off course. The subplot with the nanny doesnt go anywhere and Chuckys backstory is a horrendous addition that completely ruined the movie for me to the point where it doesnt even exist in my head canon. Ill always have a soft spot for these movies, this one included, but its probably one of the weakest in the franchise if you ask me. Inviso - Ive only ever seen a single Childs Play movie before this one; Childs Play 2, from the 90s horror list. With that being said, this movie does not do well as a standalone film. Now, I get it; its a sequel movie, so theres a certain expectation that the viewer understands prior films. But like, you can watch other slasher films with a cursory knowledge of prior movies in the franchise, and generally understand whats going on. With Curse of Chucky though, its clearly trying to be part of the overall lore of the franchise, but it doesnt connect anything to anything until the last segment of the movie. Up until that point, its just a bunch of cartoonish people acting like theyre not even human, until they get murdered by a sentient doll. Again, I GET the concept behind the franchise, but this movie is just ridiculous. No one acts like a real person. No one. The older sister is an irredeemable bitch who demonstrates how horrible she in in multiple different ways (trying to have her paraplegic sister committed so she can make money, cheating on her husband, generally acting like shes the victim of a conspiracy for being called out on the cheating). The priest, who shows up for some reason, is killed in a bizarre fashion and feels like a comical stooge to the older sisters evil machinations. The brother-in-law seems like hes the one cheating, until he somehow turns the table and practically invites his own demise via smugness. The nanny cheats strips down to her underwear (in the room she allegedly shares with the familys little girl) to have a sexy video chat with the older sisterWHILE shes in bed with her sleeping husband. Also, the fact that anyone could look at a fucking bloodbath and truly believe the killer could be a paraplegic woman boggles the mind. Its just such an asinine plot, and the complete lack of proper connection to the rest of the franchise (until the very end) does nothing to salvage it. Thesmark - I had never seen a Chucky/Childs Play film before, but I was oddly familiar with the series lore so I wasnt lost by any of it. What makes the series unique is the long-running clear through-line of continuity with Don Mancini and Brad Dourif being involved for over 30 years, in all but the recent series reboot and this time Brads daughter Fiona gets involved as the main character. Beyond its place as rebooting the franchise and the novelty of father & daughter teaming up to startheres not that much to say? 90% of the fun of this (and I expect most Childs Play movies) is Brad Dourif and hes almost exclusively in the last 30 minutes. Making Fiona Dourifs character a paraplegic is an interesting choice and they treat her with total respect; she also gets to have some fun at the end. Beyond that though, theres not much to say? The kills are gory but uninteresting, its 95 minutes but feels very padded, lame jump scare ending. It finishes okay, but meh. Jcgamer107 - Theres no godLifes a bitch and then you die bleeding like a stuck pig (to a cripple) Youre the last one standing.SO TO SPEAK! Women.cant live with em..PERIOD! These great words of wisdom from the Chuckster can be found in this very bizarre and very low-budget entry into the Childs Play franchise. The lighting is terrible and looks like a bad 2000s TV series. The chili scene..I mean what is there to say. It defies explanation. TOO MUCH OREGANO. Its cool that Brad Dourifs daughter is in it - you can see the resemblance. Thats about the best positive I got. Jennifer Tillys appearance at the end was.not good - and they still tacked on another scene after that! Just a major turd that you can at least laugh at. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

The story becomes increasingly schlocky the longer it goes on, and by the finish it is such a trainwreck that it is barely recognizable from what it began as. It is like you are trying to make a more serious and mature Chucky movie, until you just randomly arent anymore? I get the feeling that they wanted to do something more here than just make a cheap sequel, but whatever the hell it was they certainly didnt achieve it. Tom Nook - I've never actually thought a Chucky movie was good, and yet I've watched all of them. They are very generic and passable slashers, but with a tiny foul mouthed doll instead. I've always thought they over relied on him being foul-mouthed, as if I'm supposed to be grinning every time he says "fuck" as he's about to kill someone. This one was better than several of the others in the series (Child's Play 2 is the best one), so there is still some mild entertainment to be had just to see how the kills play out. The story about Chucky being this girl's dad was very stupid though, and felt like the biggest afterthought the writer had when they realized there wasn't much to the script. BetrayedTangy - Curse of Chucky is a hard movie for me to rank personally. Not only did I watch the sequel first (which I also happen to enjoy way more), but I also feel like this movie starts off suspenseful and interesting, but then just kind of gets worse as it continues. I liked the initial setup with Nica and her relationship with her mom and sister, all while the Chucky plot builds underneath. The chili scene in particular was incredibly intense, but then right after that its like the plot completely veers off course. The subplot with the nanny doesnt go anywhere and Chuckys backstory is a horrendous addition that completely ruined the movie for me to the point where it doesnt even exist in my head canon. Ill always have a soft spot for these movies, this one included, but its probably one of the weakest in the franchise if you ask me. Inviso - Ive only ever seen a single Childs Play movie before this one; Childs Play 2, from the 90s horror list. With that being said, this movie does not do well as a standalone film. Now, I get it; its a sequel movie, so theres a certain expectation that the viewer understands prior films. But like, you can watch other slasher films with a cursory knowledge of prior movies in the franchise, and generally understand whats going on. With Curse of Chucky though, its clearly trying to be part of the overall lore of the franchise, but it doesnt connect anything to anything until the last segment of the movie. Up until that point, its just a bunch of cartoonish people acting like theyre not even human, until they get murdered by a sentient doll. Again, I GET the concept behind the franchise, but this movie is just ridiculous. No one acts like a real person. No one. The older sister is an irredeemable bitch who demonstrates how horrible she in in multiple different ways (trying to have her paraplegic sister committed so she can make money, cheating on her husband, generally acting like shes the victim of a conspiracy for being called out on the cheating). The priest, who shows up for some reason, is killed in a bizarre fashion and feels like a comical stooge to the older sisters evil machinations. The brother-in-law seems like hes the one cheating, until he somehow turns the table and practically invites his own demise via smugness. The nanny cheats strips down to her underwear (in the room she allegedly shares with the familys little girl) to have a sexy video chat with the older sisterWHILE shes in bed with her sleeping husband. Also, the fact that anyone could look at a fucking bloodbath and truly believe the killer could be a paraplegic woman boggles the mind. Its just such an asinine plot, and the complete lack of proper connection to the rest of the franchise (until the very end) does nothing to salvage it. Thesmark - I had never seen a Chucky/Childs Play film before, but I was oddly familiar with the series lore so I wasnt lost by any of it. What makes the series unique is the long-running clear through-line of continuity with Don Mancini and Brad Dourif being involved for over 30 years, in all but the recent series reboot and this time Brads daughter Fiona gets involved as the main character. Beyond its place as rebooting the franchise and the novelty of father & daughter teaming up to startheres not that much to say? 90% of the fun of this (and I expect most Childs Play movies) is Brad Dourif and hes almost exclusively in the last 30 minutes. Making Fiona Dourifs character a paraplegic is an interesting choice and they treat her with total respect; she also gets to have some fun at the end. Beyond that though, theres not much to say? The kills are gory but uninteresting, its 95 minutes but feels very padded, lame jump scare ending. It finishes okay, but meh. Jcgamer107 - Theres no godLifes a bitch and then you die bleeding like a stuck pig (to a cripple) Youre the last one standing.SO TO SPEAK! Women.cant live with em..PERIOD! These great words of wisdom from the Chuckster can be found in this very bizarre and very low-budget entry into the Childs Play franchise. The lighting is terrible and looks like a bad 2000s TV series. The chili scene..I mean what is there to say. It defies explanation. TOO MUCH OREGANO. Its cool that Brad Dourifs daughter is in it - you can see the resemblance. Thats about the best positive I got. Jennifer Tillys appearance at the end was.not good - and they still tacked on another scene after that! Just a major turd that you can at least laugh at. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
Snake5555555555 05/15/22 11:12:07 PM #162:	Lightning Strikes - Yeah, the 80s were awesome. I have to say, while I had no positive expectations for this film whatsoever, it was a fair bit better than I thought it was going to be. Its far from a masterpiece, but a fun cheesy horror experience. Although I have no real love for the Chucky character, this film does a good job of convincing you of the premise and justifying its existence. Its well paced, has a lot of laughs, and there is genuine tension in the final confrontation. It also has some alright disability representation which is lacking in film in general, though not a disabled actor. With all that said, I dont want to oversell it too much. You can see where everything is going a mile off. Not only are the deaths predictable, but you can easily guess the exact order in which people die. The film goes at a decent pace until the third act where it crams in a frankly absurd amount of plot, the film seems to have six or seven endings. Also while the character who appeared near the ending was fun, they feel like they are from an entirely different genre. This makes sense given that supposedly Chucky had been more if a comedy series before this one got hack to its roots. Also the version I watched lacked the post-credits scene which really makes a huge difference. Overall this is a very conventional film. Its fun though I never would have watched it if not for this project. Im glad I did, but I could live without it. Oh and the whole bury-your-gays thing was bad, but the twist with the nanny affair was so absurd it made me laugh, silly stuff. 3/5 Biggest scare: That lasf fight between Chucky and Nica was genuinely thrilling in a way the rest wasnt. There was a proper tension to it. FFDragon - Post-credits scene is the saving grace of this thing. Johnbobb - Snake would prefer you believe that he selected this film for the 2010s horror list because he considers it to be "important" or "influential" but you should know that this is, of course, a falsity.

Terrifier (348 points)* *Why I Chose It:* A stand-alone spin-off of the All Hallows Eve anthology film series, Terrifier represents a conscious effort to create a new iconic slasher for the 2010s - Art the Clown. And it worked. Thanks to a decade obsessed and haunted by clowns, Art the Clown has surely become an influence on underground horror culture and the mainstream as well, from inspiring the music of Ghostemane to providing outfit inspiration on RuPaul's Drag Race, while keeping one foot rooted in a grindhouse, road show style of horror where gore and exploitation are king and important aspects to be explored in the genre. Terrifier's notoriety should only be expected to grow as a sequel releases this year. Plasmabeam: 7 Snake: 8 FFDragon: 14 red13n: 15 Tom Nook: 16 Johnbobb: 24 Inviso: 26 BetrayedTangy: 29 thesmark: 29 fortybelowsummer: 30 jcgamer107: 30 Lightning Strikes: 30 PrinceKaro: 30 rockus: 30 Suprak: 30 Plasmabeam - Im not a big slasher guy, but Terrifier had me gripped from the moment the clown entered the pizza shop. And what a scene that wasthe suspense leading up to the first kill can only be described as delicious. Though the plot and characters are simplistic, something about this movie resonates in a way that gives me no choice but to put it in my Top 10. Terrifier reminds me of some of my favorite Richard Laymon novels: sleazy, nasty, andbest of allunsafe. Snake - Look, deep down, Im aware this movie is pretty dumb. Its got standard slasher tropes, cliches, and idiotic characters. And yet, I love it anyway. A lot of that is definitely due to David Howard Thorntons portrayal of Art the Clown. His mannerisms, black comedy, and pure brutality put him in the upper echelon of horror antagonists for me. One thing Im pretty afraid of are clowns - and Thornton just nails all the aspects of a clown that just make me cringe up and give me goosebumps just by looking at him. Like take the scene in the pizza shop - I would feel so uncomfortable if I was eating there and this fucker dressed like a clown rolled up and sat a table just across from me, Halloween night or not. The Art just sits there - smiling, with his almost bloody looking mouth is the stuff of nightmares. But what also makes it work is the comedy involved - having Dawn interact with Art, taking photos with him, instead of just instantly running away disarms the viewer a little bit - Arts deadpan look as he goes through this cracks me up, as if hes in disbelief himself of whats happening. Its not the type of interaction you really see too much in a slasher film - where a killer is passive and interacting in a normal environment. Some other stuff I love - the disgusting weird apartment warehouse environment, like the rest of the film, its so over-the-top nasty and gives the film a nice sense of location and atmosphere. And of course the kills - Dawns bisection even gives Bone Tomahawk a run for its money, but the non-Art kill by Vicky where she gouges out Monicas eyes is pretty brutal too, and Vickys general make-up as well - wow! Reminds me of No-Face from Twisted Metal: Black. For me, despite some issues, Terrifier is delightfully un-self-conscious, and offers up plenty of scares, whether it's from scary clowns or intense gore, in a way only independent grindhouses can. FFDragon - I feel like this encapsulates B-Horror nonsense perfectly. It's not a good movie, but I enjoyed watching it. Red13n - Evil clown thing that can possibly revive itself goes on a murder spree. There really isn't much else to say about this. After standing around ominously for a bit the thing just kind of goes and murders every character you are introduced to. None of them are particularly exciting people, or particularly enduring people, so there isn't much attachment here. You think people might be the main characters but nope they are actually just there to die. This might be the most straight to the point get exactly what you paid for movie on this list. It doesn't make it good, it doesn't even really make it bad, it just is. Tom Nook - A pure low budget gorefest slasher. There is nothing else this is trying to be. It hits exactly what it aims for. While Art the Clown is yet another silent killer, he really sets himself apart with the way he emotes, which goes a long way at making this better. Plus I really love his visual look. The protagonists are all pretty garbage, which makes Art the one to root for, which is a perfectly fine way to watch a slasher like this. This movie even pulled a Psycho, by disposing of the unlikable 'main' protagonist halfway through and replacing her with her sister. The scene where Art suddenly pulls out and fires a pistol cracked me up, because it was so unexpected and outside of the killer's (and movie's) style prior to that point. I loved that moment! I haven't seen a killer and movie cheat like that since Funny Games! The moment where he actually offed her for good was great too. Just unloading into her fucking face. Take that! Another moment I liked was when Art wore the dead woman's naked body. Art's face already looks a little bit like Marilyn Manson, so in my head I just kept hearing "The Dope Show" play during that scene. I could see a lot of people hating this movie for being too cruel and shallow. That isn't an inaccurate way to describe the movie either. But if you want a mean-spirited gorefest of a slasher, this does the trick. On a side note, even though there are plenty of low-budget slashers out there, this movie reminded me A LOT of Laid to Rest. In both situations it's a low-budget slasher with a silent villain who looks cool, with tons of gore made from practical effects, set in the modern era yet feels weirdly old timey. Art the Clown is better than Chromeskull though, but Laid to Rest has better protagonists and gore effects. Johnbobb - I feel like I would've enjoyed this one more if I had seen it when it came out? I don't know, there just wasn't really much here to really make this one stand out to me. Sure, the killer clown is scary and disturbing but everything just sort of seems to happen, and none of it really feels like there's reason behind it. What Terrifier lacks is cohesion. Maybe that randomness is the point? Either way it doesn't quite work for me all that well. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Snake5555555555 05/16/22 1:21:07 PM #188:	Inviso - This is a slasher film in the Rob Zombie style of torture porn slasher, and that sort of thing is very hit or miss for me. It CAN work, but it just doesnt in this movie. The clown is definitely a terrifying bad guy (though it feels like an annoying copout that hes some kind of magical, mystical clown), but the film itself just feel like it got the genre wrong. Heres the thing: the first half of this movie was fine. If the first half of the movie was the whole movie? I wouldve ranked it much higher. In that first half, the flaws dont hurt the film as much as they do overall. But the movie feels like it takes a complete turn in the second half, which makes it seem like its spinning its wheels to fill time. Horror movie tropes might be cliched, but theyre so prevalent because they WORK. And in the first half of the movie, you introduce the ditzy blonde and the sullen brunette, and right away, the brunette is painted as our main character. Shes the one who gets harassed by the clown, and shes the one just trying to be calm and rational at the start of the film. Under normal circumstances, she would be our final girl. She would be stalked and attacked by the clown, shed get away, and shed wind up outlasting a bunch of victims before facing the bad guy once and for all at the end. That almost happens, too. She breaks free of her bindings when the clown saws he friend in half, and she beats him down. She even stabs him at one pointand then runs away without finishing the job. Still, she gets that empowering you lose! scene, just beating him with a wooden plank. Its great. Then the movie really goes off the rails and becomes disappointing. The subversion is fine, because its hilarious for a psycho killer to forgo his bladed weapons and just shoot the girl who thinks she has the upper hand on him. The only problem is that the whole movie becomes this big anticlimax after that. Dawn gets shot, but shes still alive. Theres a whole sequence where shes still alive, even after being shot in the face, so you THINK shes gonna survive. No. The blown just goes and reloads his gun, then shoots her in the face multiple times. Thats it. And then theres still half the movie left, where the clown stalks Dawns sister (who she called for a ride), a random homeless woman, an exterminator, and a secondary exterminator who comes to check on the first guy. Ultimately, the sister is the sole survivor, after the clown kills himself. She doesnt win victoriously, and in fact shes extremely disfigured after the fact. Its just a massive letdown of an ending that doesnt feel like anyone truly won. It wouldve been better following the tropes more. BetrayedTangy - Fuck this movie. The dialogue and acting are complete ass, theres practically no story and overall, its just a really nihilistic film that frankly I find painful to watch. Ive been able to stomach some really dark movies, but they always either have a sense of humanity or some kind of message they want to convey. Thats not the case here, Art is such a disgusting wretch of a character and as much as I hate to admit it, hes the only positive thing I have to say about this movie. Its a genuinely good performance and the facial expressions he makes are top notch. Well, okay I guess the special effects are pretty solid too. Those two things are whats keeping this movie out of last place. Thesmark - One of only two movies here I hadnt heard of before this. It has a cheap digital look to it, although the practical effects (with lots and lots of blood) are very solid and where almost all the effort went into. Besides that, theres not a lot to say? A scary serial killer clown murders people (mostly women) in extremely brutal wayss and thats it. Its scuzzy with deeply uncreative scares. I guess this is representative of a certain type of very low budget gory slasher film of this era (the kind that can be crowdfunded), but otherwise Im not sure why this was on the list. At least its short. Fortybelowsummer - Well, something had to come in dead last and for me it was a pretty easy choice. Terrifier has very few redeeming qualities and Art the Clown just doesnt do it for me. He doesnt have any kind of nuance that makes him interesting and his quasi-supernatural sadism, as someone once described, is just kind of boring. It feels like they try way too hard to make him some kind of horror icon, but he just isnt fun to watch. I will say that I think the girl sawed in half is one of the great moments in horror. Always gotta give points for memorable brutality that you remember long after the movie is over, but still, this movie is just bad. Jcgamer107 - Ok I dont have a problem with violence in film on principle, but when youre being gratuitously violent, repeatedly, just for the sake of being shocking, it becomes a bit much. I could hang with it up until the girl got Bone Tomahawkd with a rusty saw. I tapped out there but have now come back to finish this 2 years later, and I can safely say that I can not recommend this movie to anyone in my life who I care about. One positive: the bald New Yorker guy was kinda funny. Lightning Strikes - I require total isolation. Proceeds to go on national television To paraphrase the great Austin Walker, this was so bad it almost made me feel like an idiot for even doing this list. Maybe I was wrong, maybe horror has learned nothing and its all the same terrible schlock as the worst from previous years. I will not be ungenerous, there are things that are done somewhat well here. It does manage to get the pulpy aesthetic of 70s horror right, there are some black comedy moments that nearly land, it does build a little bit of tension in the diner scene and the villains performance is good. However even that performance highlights one of this films many flaws, that all the acting other than that is frankly dreadful. Not that even the best acting could save the awful dialogue. Nor could it save the absolute failure to conjure any kind of scares that aren;t just resorting to exaggerated gore and violence. I feel if youre a real gorehound who values gore over all else there may be fun here, but honestly as someone who is not necessarily averse to gore the way it is presented here was not effective at all. It just made me feel kind of grotty for watching it with its lurid, excessive violence against women - not just that the violence is happening to women, bbut that the violence itself is gendered in a way to be deeply uncomfortable to watch. It stops it from being a fun slasher but also the film is too inept at horror and devoid of emotion to be a dark horror film showing you disturbing, grim topics in an unfiltered way. Even aside from that, the film is just dull when its not being excessively gory. There are numerous long, repetitive cat and mouse scenes that are unbelievable boring and mean that I cant even say that the film has the kindness to be short as it makes the 80 minute running time feel like a full three hours, which is just unbearable. The one thing that this film tries to do that is any way unique is the twist at the end, which reveals that the prologue was really set after the end of the film all along. Unfortunately for the film, this scene is so lacking context that it just means that film sequel baits at the start rather than at the end. This is a terrible film, and I have never been more glad that by and large horror films have moved on from this kind of picture as when I was watching this one. Biggest scare: The diner scene is the only time this film works in horror terms at all. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Snake5555555555 05/16/22 1:22:17 PM #189:	PrinceKaro - Yet another evil clown kills people. On Halloween. In an abandoned warehouse. Fuck originality, we're just gonna use our magic 8-ball of cliched horror tropes and hope for the best. Basically these two girls are drunk and trying to get home and a series of dumb events leads them running afoul of Stabby the Clown. They interact with each other with the most ridiculous, stilted, porno-level dialogue ever just so the movie can pretend it has some sort of plot between gratuitous eviscerations. On so many occasions the characters behave so unnatural and idiotic simply because it makes the writers' jobs easier. Such as the stupid girl who never finishes off the clown on any of the many times she has the advantage over him. Or the other girl who finds a cut in half body in the basement, and just wanders about aimlessly for a good five minutes peering into dark corners instead of calling the police on her cellphone. It's just utter dreck of the basest degree pandering towards proto serial killers and/or Juggalos who get off on watching grotesque violence done to girls and dont really care about anything else. Rockus - Hated this. Part of me wanted to admire it for making a feature film for like 30 some thousand dollars but this hardly has anything redeeming about it. There are two gory kills that seem to be the only time theres much effort put into the movie, and there are just as many if not more moments that offset it by looking extremely cheap and inept, and the film overall looks really ugly. It strikes me as a film from someone who has watched a lot of horror movies but really doesnt have their own ideas for one.

[t:80021225]...</cite> <quote>PrinceKaro - Yet another evil clown kills people. On Halloween. In an abandoned warehouse. Fuck originality, we're just gonna use our magic 8-ball of cliched horror tropes and hope for the best. Basically these two girls are drunk and trying to get home and a series of dumb events leads them running afoul of Stabby the Clown. They interact with each other with the most ridiculous, stilted, porno-level dialogue ever just so the movie can pretend it has some sort of plot between gratuitous eviscerations. On so many occasions the characters behave so unnatural and idiotic simply because it makes the writers' jobs easier. Such as the stupid girl who never finishes off the clown on any of the many times she has the advantage over him. Or the other girl who finds a cut in half body in the basement, and just wanders about aimlessly for a good five minutes peering into dark corners instead of calling the police on her cellphone. It's just utter dreck of the basest degree pandering towards proto serial killers and/or Juggalos who get off on watching grotesque violence done to girls and dont really care about anything else. Rockus - Hated this. Part of me wanted to admire it for making a feature film for like 30 some thousand dollars but this hardly has anything redeeming about it. There are two gory kills that seem to be the only time theres much effort put into the movie, and there are just as many if not more moments that offset it by looking extremely cheap and inept, and the film overall looks really ugly. It strikes me as a film from someone who has watched a lot of horror movies but really doesnt have their own ideas for one.

Snake5555555555 05/16/22 1:23:59 PM #190:	Suprak - Wow what a horrendousthing this was. Like, borderline not a movie. I feel like this movie has a plot begrudgingly. Like they showed the distributor a handful of people getting murdered and only added dialogue after the studio threatened to call the cops. I love the slasher genre and I know it seems like this is just following genre conventions but MORE. Go through any movie in the genre and youre going to find brutal murders, some scary and possibly supernatural killer, and a plot that usually gets boiled down to characters get killed off one by one until the final one or two survive and maybe kill the villain or maybe not stay tuned for the sequel. This movie follows all of that so it seems like it should fit right in with all the other slashers from the era. But this is those but dumber. This is those but made by someone whos greatest aspiration was to be a Walmart knockoff of the thing he loved. The story isnt all that complex, even by genre standards. Basically, the clown murders someone in a particularly brutal way and then some other dope wanders into the set and goes hello! HELLO! WHERE IS EVERYONE! and then the clown has to stretch out their shoulder because they pulled a muscle from all the murdering theyve already done. Have you seen the Candlejack episode of Freakazoid? Theres that part where everyone keeps screaming Candlejack and Candlejack goes Im going to need some more rope! This is the horror movie equivalent of that scene. Random people keep showing up specifically just because the movie couldnt think of a way to last for an hour and a half otherwise. The only character you care about, at all, dies like a half of the way into the movie, and after that we have a rotating cast of fleshbags that show up and are waiting to bleed all over everything. Why should I give a shit that the exterminator and insane homeless woman that each had like one line before this are in danger? Like, I need to care about these characters somewhat. Just a bit. Im not asking for full character arcs but give me a chance to at least know these peoples names. Terrifier isnt interested in being a movie it wants to be a series of snuff films back to back and the writers would start crying and bleeding from the ears whenever someone asked them to write dialogue that wasnt OW OWWIE OUCH YOURE STABBING MY EYEBALL OW. Also, Terrifier goes a bit beyond the slasher genre and feels like it kind of wanted to be torture porn. Like, straight up torture porn with some occasional dialogue put in between the torture porn. Ive never been a huge fan of that subgenre of horror movies, which always seem like the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of horror. Like you arent smart enough to make an actual scary movie, so you just show people disturbing imagery and hope that thats enough. But this is bad by even torture porn standards. There is usually some semblance of a plot in a lot of those, but this doesnt even have that. Also, Im not going to say that the director of this movie hated women but there is a scene here where the clown saws one in half vagina first and let you draw your own conclusions. Even if you did like this, I dont know how you recommend it to friends. I feel like if one of my friends told me this was their favorite horror movie, and I got to the part where a fully nude woman had a saw taken to her vagina and then they continued sawing until they quite literally split her in half, I would take that as some sort of confession. Like Id be like oh Nathan must have a collection of womans fingers somewhere under his floorboard and he was too embarrassed to tell me directly, thats why he wanted me to watch this. I havent finished watching all the movies yet, but I feel confident that this following statement will not need to be modified at any point in the future: this movie featured the worst acting out of any film on the list, and it isnt close. I went to imdb after watching this and was shocked to find that these people had acted in other films before, particularly the exterminator who I thought mightve been an actual exterminator who was on the set that day for actual extermination based business and they decided to just try and film around him. If they did a Terrifier porn parody, and this entire cast auditioned for it, none of them would get the part on account of their acting being too bad. The blonde friends imdb page has 29 released roles, and three of them are murder victim. It is hard to get type cast as corpse but honestly thats right around where her acting level is at. I know not all horror movies are going to have A list actors, but they have better than this which seems to be understudies at a community college production of a play about mute trees. They also dont even get the slasher/horror stuff right, which is honestly all this movie has going for it. At one point the clown pulls out a gun and just shoots one of his victims. Like, hey, what the hell? You cant do that! Imagine if Michael Meyers just pulled out an AK47 at some point and started blasting. This guy is clearly some sort of undead demon thing judging by the fact he survives his suicide attempt with a gaping bullet hole at the back of his head at the end of the movie. Undead demon things dont get to kill their victims with guns. Also, for absolutely no reason, he shoots the main character in the face, runs out of ammo, walks all the way back to his bag for more ammo, walks back, and shoots her in the face several more times. It might be my least favorite death from any of these slasher films Ive seen just because of how dumb it is. It takes something away from the character when hes resorting to just shooting his way through his victims. Thats the lazy way out of things. Like, thats what a serial killer does for homework in serial killer school when they forgot about the assignment until the last minute. The clown here just doesnt have the gravitas he needs for this kind of role, either. Ive seen some reviews like move over Pennywise and Freddy Krueger, theres a new horror icon and its likeno. Dont move over unless youre blocking the exit and youre trying to show this clown the way to the exit of the cool horror character club. He looks creepy, sure, but thats because hes a clown and clowns are creepy. The visual effects person here did a good job. Between the murders and the makeup, whatever team of people that worked on this knew what they were doing but they were the only ones. He doesnt have the charm of Krueger or the intensity of Michael Meyers or the performance of Pennywise. Hes scary not because of anything specific to the character hes scary because hes actively murdering people when we see him. There is nothing interesting to the performance here or anything that makes him stand out in a genre that is already saturated by this kind of character. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Snake5555555555 05/16/22 1:24:11 PM #191:	Also I watched some video that recapped the movie leading up to this one, and apparently the whole pooping and peeing all over a room before killing someone is a thing this dude has done before. His calling card is irritable bowel syndrome. Things you need to watch out for and run from in horror movies: 1) ki ki ki, ma ma ma, 2) one, two, Freddys coming for you 3) a loud series of farts and moans coming from a public bathroom. I dont know why the script has and then the clown DESTROYS the bathroom with so much poo poo other than the writers here dont know how to genuinely scare you and instead opt out for the grossest things they can think of. Not that there isnt space for that sort of thing in horror, and not that other movies havent tried and succeeded with that sort of motif, Terrifier does it in just about the dumbest way possible. Theres almost nothing good I have to say about this movie. The visual effects people did a good job, it was less than 90 minutes so it doesnt waste too much time, and the lead actress was attractive which is pretty clearly all they cared about when casting her. Thats it. Thats my list of positive thoughts I had about the movie while watching it. This is an absolute brutal film, but less for its actual brutality and more for the fact that it somehow manages to be perhaps the most viscerally violent movie on this list and one of the most dull at the same time. Thats an almost impossible to pull off combo, and it takes a special kind of failure to combine those two things at once. I fully understand that this list needs some sort of torture porn/brutal slasher representation on it. Big part of the genre. I have no idea how this one got the nod when there had to be better, less dumb examples out there. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

The barren settings, the bizarre homeless woman, the low-budget quality, and the broken story logic all contributed to this messy, dream-like atmosphere.
