Reel Kill Review: Terrifier 2 (2022)
Runtime: 138 min
Rating: 8/10 🎬
Commentary: Gleefully savage—a blood-soaked thriller that earns every scream.
Welcome to another Reel Kill Review! Today, we're diving into Terrifier 2, Damien Leone’s ultra-violent sequel that dragged Art the Clown back into the spotlight — and drenched him in blood. Unlike many modern slashers, this one doesn't hold back. It doubles down on everything that made the original so notorious — and manages to outdo it.
The Setup: After surviving his resurrection, Art returns to Miles County on Halloween night with a vengeance — and a disturbingly playful new sidekick. From the opening frame, the tone is set: no rules, no remorse, and no filter. While the plot is looser than most, the film sets the stage for raw carnage and creative set pieces that keep you glued to the mayhem.
Art & The Aftermath: Terrifier 2 introduces Sienna, a new final girl whose presence gives the sequel more heart and mythos than expected. But make no mistake — this is still Art’s show. The kills are prolonged, gruesome, and drenched in practical effects. Some scenes are almost operatic in their brutality — not for the faint of heart, but for gore fans, it’s a feast.
Bigger, Bloodier, Bolder: Clocking in at over two hours, Terrifier 2 embraces its indulgence. It doesn't aim for elegance or elevated horror — it leans hard into grindhouse energy. While the pacing drags in a few spots, the film makes up for it with sheer audacity. From supernatural twists to full-blown hallucinations, Leone throws everything at the screen and most of it sticks.
The Final Kill: Terrifier 2 is brutal, excessive, and strangely hypnotic in its chaos. It’s not here to redefine horror — it’s here to rip it apart and laugh while doing it. For fans of gore, slashers, and unhinged practical effects, this is a love letter soaked in arterial spray.
Not perfect — but gloriously depraved, and impossible to look away from.
The Reel Kill Rating is The Reel Kill's signature scoring system. Evaluation for horror content is based on Kills & Creativity, Gore Factor, Scare Factor, Atmosphere & Cinematography, and Plot & Pacing.
Each horror piece receives a final score ranging from 1 to 10. Scores below a 5 are considered forgettable fodder , while anything above a 5 begins to earn my respect. These works highlight elements such as carnage, stylish kills, tension, and fear, among others.
