That's quite an accolade

Terrifier 3 sits at $30M right now, and the theatrical run is ongoing.

This franchise really is like a return to old-style slashers.

reply

Old style slashers never had such outrageous gore and splatter on screen. This franchise is nothing like the old style slashers.

Exactly ⬆️⬆️💯💯

They've ramped up the gore because they can get away with that now; there's no way they could have done it to that degree when Friday the 13th etc started out. But Terrifier goes for as much gore as it feels it can get away with, just like F13 did. The intent is the same; it's launching a new slasher franchise/villain, a franchise that unapologetically exists to slaughter teenagers in the bloodiest ways it can show. It's absolutely a successor to the 80s slasher heyday.

reply

A successor in the same way they're both shit

reply

So you're not a fan of this kind of horror anyway? Be it Friday the 13th, or Terrifier?

reply

6th Friday movie is ok 5/10, the rest are pretty bad, very rarely get impressed by horror movies

reply

Horror's my favourite genre. Slashers aren't my favourites but I enjoy them as dumb fun.

reply

There is nothing old style about this lmao XD have yall actually watched vintage horror?

reply

I watch more vintage horror than anything else. Terrifier is absolutely a successor - they can just get away with more.

reply

You seen horror genre from 1920s to now?

reply

Pretty sure the original Nosferatu is the oldest I've seen. Watched a ton of each decade from the 30s onwards.

reply

its unrated, not nc-17

reply

Dont think it’s NC-17

reply

Boxofficemojo.com has it listed that way. So the OP is just following what8on the site.

reply

Relative to its tiny budget it's impressive. But compared to other horror movies it's tiny.

reply

This. At any rate, the speed at which this franchise took off is impressive.

reply

It's not NC-17 stupid

reply

Look at the site and you'll see why the OP listed it as so. It's on boxofficemojo.com and not redban.

reply

Whether you want to go with unrated instead of NC-17, it’s now the highest grossing unrated movie of all time anyways

reply

I'm surprised that cinemas are showing a film that isn't rated. Traditionally you always had to cut it down to an R for the theatres and wait until the home video release to put out the uncut version.

reply

Passing on this. Watched 1 and 2. Just cheap gore.

reply

Stick to Damsel I guess.

reply

For all the responses about “it’s not NC-17: it’s unrated” … it’s now the highest grossing unrated movie anyways, crossing $50M
