I watched 2 today and it was pretty good. The story got a little too lame at the end but I enjoyed it enough.

Interesting to see the little dude that used to interview metal bands doing real acting. The final girl is super fuckin hot.

Having seen all 3 of these here's my quick review. Mild spoilers but nothing big.

Terrifier - More grounded than the others, just a gritty serial killer movie with a terrifying antagonist. Only one of the kills was a little too brutal and the rest were all pretty much within the realm of normal horror gore. Decent movie, liked it more than I expected to.

Terrifier 2 - Wasn't crazy about how it left the realm of the normal and made the serial killer into a supernatural entity, preferred it to just be a really bad human. Explains why he was able to shrug off so much damage in the first movie though. The final girl is super fuckin hot. I mean insanely gorgeous, wife material, etc. I really liked how the whole movie builds up to her wearing the angel/amazonian costume for the final showdown and I think her entire look there is a bit iconic, or should be anyway, for modern horror. Also liked the opening credits and how much they tell you about her without a word being said, just by watching her building things. I can take or leave the brutal gore scenes. Liked this one a lot, in spite of them, might actually watch it again someday.

Terrifier 3 - This felt like a big step down from 2. Just redundant and felt more mean-spirited than the others. Rather than the sexy-as-hell Final Girl taking him on in an angel costume, she just gets tortured a lot and they sequel-bait really hard. Not even sure what the "rules" are at this point when we have gateways to Hell opening up and all the bad guys are unkillable.

All in all I think I'm good on ever watching any more of these. They definitely get you queasy at times. The parts I liked were the suspenseful parts and the character-driven parts (around the main character in 2, that is).

Pretend I rewrote all this in my own words and posted it because I have the exact same opinion as Rajaah. This last one really had me questioning what the hell I was even doing.

Yeah, the third one is a waste of time. The point where I realized I don't feel like seeing all these people just get hurt for no reason, especially the MC from the second movie who we have to watch get tortured for like 15 minutes.

Terrifier 1 is a great serial killer horror movie with an old-school (80's) feel to it, while Terrifier 2 is like the Terminator 2 of horror movies and gets you amped up, building to a climactic showdown. Didn't expect to like either but I really did, and recommend both.

Terrifier 1: Art the Clown is a human in this movie. He's sadistic and fucked up and probably the most deprived person alive.
That's why he kills himself at the end of the movie to elude being captured by police.

Terrifier 2:
The little girl at the beginning is the demonic entity that brings him back to life. She was also Art's very first victim. The little girl brutally murdered at the circus in the makeup car as seen in newspaper clips. The protagonist has a personal link to Art and a divine counter to his demon.

Terrifier 3: Further explores the spoiler of Terrifier 2 including the
way the demon corrupts those that survived Art's assault and briefly what the demon is and it's origin.
that aside,Terrifier 3 is definitely a push the boundaries movies and a "fuck you" to Hollywood who wanted to make 3 and dial it way down.

I really enjoyed them, so maybe something is wrong with me.

David was on last podcast and basically said they're doing 4 and maybe 5 and they will explore arts backstory a bit more.

Like you said he was a human in 1, confirmed by David
