[Interview] Catherine Corcoran Talks 'Terrifier', Nudity, Halloween, and More

Art the Clown is back in the vicious and visceral sequel Terrifier 2 (read our review here), and as the unprecedented success of the sequel has spawned even more popularity for the original Terrifier, released five years ago, we were beyond excited to talk to the first film’s star Catherine Corcoran recently about how playing Dawn changed her life, shooting her unforgettable death scene, her…

Terrifier (2016, dir. Damien Leone) - review by Rookie-Critic

Terrifier had a lot of the same problems that All Hallows' Eve did. There are multiple counts of weird misogyny, with increased violence being targeted specifically at the female characters. Their deaths/disfigurements are significantly more brutal and disturbing than the male character deaths that happen (a few of which just happen completely off camera). It's frustrating to see that, in the 3 years that passed between this film and All Hallows' Eve, there was practically no personal growth on the part of Leone. However, I won't waste precious digital space rehashing the same complaints from the last review across this one, and instead try to focus on what this one did actually do better.

Let's get the easy one out of the way first, Leone's practical effects are even better in this than they were in the previous film, and they were already pretty damn good in that one. The budget is bigger for this than it was for Hallows' (this film was the result of a very successful Kickstarter campaign following a massive internet interest in the Art the Clown character), and it shows. The quality of makeup and prosthetic work Leone achieves with what, while bigger, is still a fairly low budget is quite impressive. Also, Art the Clown is the sole antagonistic focus of this film, and his screen time has grown exponentially. There's a change of actor from Mike Giannelli, who played him in All Hallows' Eve, to David Howard Thornton. This is a welcome change, as Thornton's physicality and facial expressions can read more sinister and goofier than what Giannelli was able to do in Hallows'. Art is more menacing in this one, and you feel the impending doom from the second he appears. Also, there were a few moments where the movie was able to break through all the groaning noises and eye rolling I was doing and pull a couple of chuckles out of me. The kills are creative (and would be really impressive if the film and the writing surrounding it weren't so lackluster), the atmosphere and vibe gives off 80s B-movie slasher (even if it is the bad kind of 80s B-movie slasher), and, again, Thornton's performance as Art is commendable. It just still has way too many issues for me to even remotely consider this a good film. It's better than All Hallows' Eve, for sure, but not by much.

Score: 4/10

Review: Some horror movies can balance the gore and the storyline well. You can still have disgusting gore like The Blob or The Thing and still have a great story. This movie builds the story around the gore, and it really shows.

The acting is actually really good for the most part. The main character ran weird, and she runs a lot that was a little hard to watch, and the sister Victoria wasn't very good. I also got confused multiple times because I thought the actresses for the sister and the crazy homeless lady looked a lot alike.

The gore was very very over the top. It's easily in the top three goriest movies I've ever seen. It's like the director and writer worked together on the gore effects, and then just tried to come up with a story that got to use all of them. The girl being cut in half by the saw was especially brutal, maybe one of the worst scenes I've ever watched.

The clown was super creepy, and the fact that he never made a sound or spoke just added to the creepiness, even after being stabbed or hit across the face. The smile was fucking creepy.

If you want to see some people be literally ripped in half, then watch this movie. If you're looking for a plot anything past random people running into a warehouse just to be slaughtered by a clown than this isn't for you. The effects were cool, I would show someone just to gross them out.

5.5/10
