Terrifier 3 reviews praise director Damien Leone
Following the release of Terrifier 3, the movie has taken cinema lovers around the world by storm. It is not only the movie that is receiving all the praise, but reviewers are also not holding back their words of appreciation for director Damien Leone.
Leone has helmed the Terrifier movie franchise since its debut in 2016. Lauding his work in his review, Erik Piepenburg of The New York Times wrote, “Nobody is pushing horror boundaries quite like the writer-director Damien Leone. Eight years ago, his killer clown film “Terrifier” had gorehounds buzzing. Its 2022 sequel unexpectedly broke into the mainstream and to date has earned over $15 million, a huge haul for a blood-drenched exploitation slasher.”
In his review , Jacob Hall of Slash Film wrote, “This is a movie that sets out on its own dark mission, and accomplishes that mission with a skill that is undeniable.” Meanwhile, Michael Ordona of The Wrap lauded the threequel and wrote, “Terrifier 3 improves on previous entries while spurting out the blood and guts in increasingly elaborate fashions that will have Art lovers laughing and screaming.”
Additionally, Terrifier 3 has become the top choice of moviegoers in France, despite being banned for minors. Damien Leone shared on X ( formerly Twitter), “Terrifier 3 is the #1 movie in France! TERRIFIER 3’ takes the lead at the French box office for its first day in cinemas ahead of ‘LE ROBOT SAUVAGE’. The film recorded 45,000 admissions on only 126 prints, a remarkable performance for a film prohibited for those under 18!”
