Terrifier
This aptly named 2016 film, which takes place over the course of one brutal Halloween night, is likely to push many viewers to the edge. Crammed full of unrelenting gore – all of it achieved with visceral practical effects – Terrifier‘s primary tool of unsettlement comes courtesy of its villain.
David Howard Thornton provides a skin-crawling performance as Art the Clown, a deranged slasher who is bound to give coulrophobes nightmares. Even those who don’t care for the film’s over-the-top brutality have acknowledged that Thornton’s Art is creepy, and Terrifier is an effective throwback to the kind of movies “that got banned back in the video nasty era.”
