Do you recommend the first two? First time I’ve heard of em!HORROR IN THE HIGH DESERT 3: FIREWATCH is a good third chapter in that series. The last twenty minutes are very tense.
I do, if you like found footage. I think they're consistently above-average found footage/mockumentary films. The HELL HOUSE LLC movies are my favorite current found footage series, but the HIGH DESERT movies are just below those.Do you recommend the first two? First time I’ve heard of em!
yeah I truly hate these, I hate this clown. and it is not lost on me that the ultra extreme gore violence is against women like some sort of statement. all horror movies have female victims obviously but these movies are like an excuse. it's not a quick kill like most movies, but pure torture. torture in the movie and for the audienceI usually have a pretty high tolerance for gore, but I absolutely could not watch Terrifier 2.
Yeah, I try to pride myself on sticking to the idea that more people need to celebrate what they love rather than deride what they dislike but Terrifer is truly one of those things where I just do not understand the appeal.
It's so overboard but it does not have any good nature or charm that something like Braindead has. It's just mean spirited to be mean spirited and it feels like it has nothing to say beyond supremely ugly gore. And that's not even touching the fact that they're not the greatest movies all around outside of that either.
I'm glad fans are getting more of what they want but it's not for me.
I've really tried to put my finger on what it is about the kills in the TERRIFIER movies that I find so unpleasant, while also still considering myself somebody who loves a great gore gag/kill*, and what I've arrived at is that Art the Clown's enjoyment of what he's doing is what I find off-putting. It gives the protracted kills a kind of fetishistic quality that I find uncomfortable.
Now, horror doesn't have to be comfortable! But I think the intent of the TERRIFIER movies is that we're meant to enjoy the gore as much as Art does... and I don't, so the movies don't work on their own terms for me. That's the disconnect.
*This year's IN A VIOLENT NATURE contains several pretty extreme (and inventive!) kills that work in the context of the movie's intentions.
This may well even be the intent, but I didn't receive the movies this way.people try to defend these movies by saying it's a parody or by saying that it's supposed to be like a LOONEY TOONS horror homage ( imagine roadrunner or Tom And Jerry in real life. basically Itchy and Scratchy)
I remember some girl online saying to me " the gore is so over the top is hilarious, it's so unrealistic that it becomes funny! "
I've heard it described as a fascinating failure, I'm very excited to see itLonglegs kinda sucked, it’s very well made and acted, but it’s trying way too hard and I couldn’t get into it at all.
