Critics Consensus

Taking an axe to yuletide cheer and everything else in its path, Terrifier 3 is a bloody fantastic stocking stuffer for the holiday season.

Audience Says

Stepping up the ante, the bloody disgusting gore fest in Terrifier 3 cements Art the Clown as an iconic horror villain for ages (and sequels) to come. Expect Arts lurking this Halloween.

Chicago Reader

Leone’s talent for tone control and his ability to shift from...chaotic, blood-soaked joy into a horrifying, blood-soaked hopelessness...makes Terrifier 3 work as more than a special effects exhibition.

Rarely has so much on-screen bloodshed been so lifeless.

A slight step down from the previous entry, Terrifier 3's split narrative often feels like two very different films forced into one with tonal shifts that lack finesse. Thornton and LaVera's performances elevate the wobbly execution, though.

Rated: 3/5

The biggest drawback in Terrifier 3 is its role as a transitional chapter leading to an inevitable fourth installment which, if it continues along the current trend, could become a slasher cathedral remembered by future generations of fans.

Joe Lipsett

Horror Queers Podcast

While 2 remains the benchmark to beat, Terrifier 3 proves there's plenty of life left in David Howard Thorton's Art the Clown and the Christmas debauchery is extremely, extremely welcome (particularly the chainsaw scene)

Rated: 3.5/5

If you want a fun, sensational, and completely over-the-top showcase of blood, guts, brains, and gore of the most holly-jolly variety, then look no further.
