This New Horror Movie Is So Gory, Audiences Are Fainting and Throwing Up🫣

Consider this your warning. If you're not open to the possibility of vomiting or passing out in a movie theater, then avoid this new film at all costs. According to audience members who have taken to social media with their experiences, the horror movie Terrifier 2 is making viewers vomit and even faint. One fan even said that the theater called an ambulance for the friend they was seeing the movie with—a result they considered a ringing endorsement for the horror flick.

Read on to find out more about Terrifier 2 and the chaos its screenings are causing.

Terrifier 2 is the sequel to 2016's Terrifier. Both movies are about killer Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton), who brutally murders and disfigures people on Halloween. The low-budget horror films are both written and directed by Damien Leone.

As reported by Collider, Terrifier 2, which is unrated, was only supposed to be in theaters for one weekend starting Oct. 6, but its run was extended due to high demand. The publication states that the film has made $1.4 million so far on a $250K budget. And it's been word-of-mouth—namely, people raving about how unbelievably scary it is on social media—that's made the movie a success.

I really believe that these kinds of movies “stain” your subconscious and are very unhealthy to society.

and it was nasty! I couldn't really watch it to be honest. I think it was the low-budget quality of it, combined with some admittedly impressive practical special effects, that gave it a horrible sort of snuff film quality.

It's been getting a ton of word of mouth with these stories about people passing out in the theater. Of course, that kind of marketing has been around since at least the 1960s (and probably longer ago than that):



But yeah, the clip was gross. If you're not into slasher flicks I highly recommend avoiding this one!

I remember when they were handing out barf bags for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I guarantee no one is fainting or throwing up over this but it’s good publicity.

It started out scary, built a nice, spooky atmosphere, but then took a hard turn into torture-porn and sexual mutilation.

Anyone who watched the first one can guess the exact scene I turned it off at.

skip it. I do like scary movies, but movies like that are just disgusting. I made the mistake of renting Hostel when it came out and had to spend the majority of the movie hiding under a blanket. That was the last movie like that I watched.

One of the ads that got Emory shipped off to a mental hospital was for a horror film called "The Freak" which was said to be able to "fuck you up for life."

Cut to a scene in front of a cinema with the words "it will fuck you up for life" on the marquee, and outrageous prices at the box office...to which the clerk remarked, "if you wanna be fucked up for life, that's what it costs."
