Saturday Slasher Cinema: TERRIFIER

Welcome to this Week’s Installment of Saturday Slasher Cinema Featuring the 2016 American Slasher Film TERRIFIFER Written, Directed and Co-Produced by Damien Leone. The Film features a New Face in the World of Horror in Art The Clown, Played by David Howard Thornton, Who Dresses in an Early 20th Century Clown Costume complete with an Insanely Small Top Hat. Also Art’s Clown Make Up is Void of the Usual Bright Traditional Clown Colors, and instead is Simply Black on White reminiscent of Black Metal Musician’s Corpse Paint. To His Credit Art The Clown was Named “One of the Scariest Clowns on Screen” by Bloody-Disgusting.com,

Terrifier  marks the Second Feature Film Appearance of Art The Clown Character, After Leone’s 2013 Anthology Film All Hallow’s Eve, which Incorporates Footage from Previous Short Films that were also Directed by Leone that Also Originally featured Art The Clown. If Your interested for whatever Reason in watching All Hallow’s Eve We have it Posted in Our Movie Category, and was actually used in a Prior Saturday Slasher Cinema.

                   

Synopsis:

On Halloween Night The Sadistic Serial Killer known as  Art The Clown Returns focusing His Sick Psychotic Obsession on Three Innocent Young Women, Along with Anyone Else that gets in His Way!!!

When We Saw this I KNEW We had to Include it: The Following is Posted on commonsense media.org

                   

WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW

Parents need to know that Terrifier is a slasher movie about an evil killer clown. Blood and gore are extremely strong, and the violence against women is disturbing. One woman is hung naked upside down (her breasts are visible) and sawed in half from her crotch to her head. Another woman’s skin is sliced off of her chest, and the killer wears it on his own chest so that he can have breasts. There are many deaths, and tons of blood sprays/spurts, plus beating with blunt objects, guns and shooting, stabbing, slicing, severed heads, eye gouging, and much more. Language is also very strong, with multiple uses of “f–k”, “s–t”, “bitch, and more. There’s some sexual innuendo, and a couple falls into bed, kissing. Characters are drunk after a night of partying, cigarette smoking is shown, and a woman is injected with a knockout drug.

                   

Not To Viewer: While the MOVIE IS IN ENGLISH there are French Subtitles. Unfortunately this was the Only Accessible Copy We could Find, and Since Terrifier is Such a Bad Ass Slasher Movie, and  We would Feel like Real Assholes if We didn’t Post it  (It’s Honestly One of Our Favorites here at FYB). Plus Subtitles are Easy to Ignore if You Don’t have to Read Them.

Enjoy.

We Hope You Enjoyed this Tale of a Killer Clown Carnage as Much as We Did.

Short Horror Film Friday: NO THROUGH ROAD 4

Welcome to this Week’s Installment of Short Horror Film Friday featuring NO THROUGH ROAD 4 the Final Short in the British Psychological Horror Series. This Installment is a Bit Different because Below the Film We have Our Series Synopsis where We examine the Four Films in an Attempt to Deduce What it was all About/What was Going On. If You haven’t seen the Three Previous NO THROUGH ROAD Short Films We Highly Suggest You Do before watching NO THROUGH ROAD 4 (You can Find all Three Previous Shorts Here in the Movie Category in case Some aren’t Aware).

Outstanding Questions Entering NO THROUGH ROAD 4:

  • Will the Boys Manage to Escape from the Man in the Mask Alive?
  • Who is The Man in the Mask
  • What is the Endless Loop All About?
  • What Happened to Steven during the 3 Years He was Missing and Presumed Dead?
  • What is Steven’s Connection to The Man in a Mask?
  • What does Steven Know that HE’s Not telling the Others About?
  • How did the Boys come to Find Themselves in this Sinister Situation to Begin With?
  • Whats the Significance of the Tunnel?
  • What’s the Significance of the NO THROUGH ROAD Signs?
  • Can the Man in the Mask Be Killed and if So How?
  • Why is the Man in the Mask Terrorizing Travelers (What’s His Motive)?

Enjoy.

So What was it all About: Final Summation

Basically, the Boys Found the House and Figured Out that the Mysterious Man in a Mask that Terrorizes the Boys Lives There. Essentially,  The Man in a Mask  has been Living Out in the Middle of Nowhere, Tormenting and Quite Possibly Killing People Who Unknowingly Dare Trespass on His Property. Now, the Interesting thing Here is that You have to stop thinking Steven and The Man in the Mask are Two Different People.
The Signs that said “No Through Road” were a Dire Warning to Travelers. How things go for Steven is as follows:
Present: They Found Steven (When He shows Up Out of Nowhere in No Through Road 2)
Past: He was “Murdered” along with His Friends.
Future: The Man in the Mask/Steven Knows what the Tunnel is and Tries to Warn People Off from it.
Instead, People/Travelers go through without thinking, so He Tries to Scare Them Away. The Tunnel itself is like the Movie Groundhog Day; an Infinitely-Looping Series of Events that Only the One(s) Who are Aware and/or Experiencing them can Prevent. Steven believed that if He Prevented The Man in the Mask (Himself) from Attacking the Past Him, it would Somehow Alter the Outcome of the Events that Followed. Unfortunately, He Ended up Attacking Himself and Repeating the Events that lead to Him being Discovered.  Horrified by what He had Done, Steven Runs Away and Hides where Nobody can find Him, Unless They go Searching. He stays there for Years, scavenging together Food and shit for However long and doing His Best to Prevent a Repeat of Events. Except each day, He Repeats the Same Thing in an Eternal Loop.
The Reason Why the Boys  can’t Hurt The Man in the Mask is because He Does Not Exist at the Same Point in Time. Steven in the Future has Learned that Not Only did the Tunnel Trap Him in an Infinite Loop, but with some Practice, He can Jump to Specific Points in Time. Steven is No-face. He wants to Prevent Other People/Travelers from Experiencing His Hell. He knows No Matter what, Regardless of what Point in Time He jumps to, the Events that are Keeping Him there are a Fixed Point in Time. Anything that Happens following Someone’s Discovery of the Tunnel Automatically becomes a Fixed Point in Time that keeps You Trapped Unable to Escape.

Short Horror Film Friday: NO THROUGH ROAD 3

Welcome to Another Installment of Short Horror Film Friday Fraturing NO THROUGH ROAD 3! To Anyone Who thought the Text at the End of NO THROUGH ROAD 2 was Foreshadowing for a Third FIlm in the Series Congratulations You were Absolutely Correct.

We have already Posted the Original No Through Road 1 and 2 in a Previous Installments of Short Horror Film Friday, and were Thrilled to Learn that a Third Film had in fact been Made. We Highly recommend You Go watch No Road Through 1 and 2   First before Watching the Third Film so that You’re Not Confused as to what the Hell is Happening in NO THROUGH ROAD 3.

So Far We haven’t been able (and Not for a Lack of Trying I assure You) find out Exactly WHO made  the No Through Road Trilogy. The Closest thing to any real Information is that the Film was made by a Group of British Teenagers, But this has yet to be Confirmed. Now NO ROAD THROUGH 3 is by Far the Shortest of the Three Films Clocking in with a Running Time of a Mere 2 Minutes and 35 Seconds (In Comparison the Previous Two No Road Through Films have Running Times of 10 Minutes and Change).

Premise: James, Cameraman Dave, and a still visibly Shaken Steven are still Trapped Driving in an Endless Loop in the Middle of Nowhere without any Cell Service. They have apparently been  Driving in Vain for a While since the Sun has Set and the Teens find Themselves Once Again Driving in the All Encompassing Dark of Night. This only Serves to Complicate things for the Boys in Their Attempts to Escape and Return Home Safely. Finally out of Pure Frustration the Boys turn right at the Street Sign for Bennington when They pass the Sign for it for the Umpteeth Time. The Boys Figure it’s Their Only Option at this Point for Possibly Escaping the Dire  Situation  They are In though They aren’t Happy about it in the Least. Unfortunately just After Turning Down Bennington the Boys Encounter The Ominous Man in a Mask Once Again. The Boys more Terrified than Ever bring the Car to a Dead Stop at the Sight of the Man in the Mask. Meanwhile The Man in the Mask Stands unyielding in the Road Blocking The Boys  Path, and  Waiting for the Them  to make Their Move.

Enjoy.

Short Horror Film Friday: No Through Road

Welcome to another Installment of Short Horror Film Friday this Week Featuring the 2009 British Horror short No Through Road, and is Rumored to be based on the Clifton Bunny Man Urban Legend. The Video was Originally Posted by a User named indrancole3, but We couldn’t (and not for a lack of trying I assure You) find out Exactly WHO made No Through Road. The Closest thing to any real Information is that the Film was made by a Group of British Teenagers, But this has yet to be Confirmed. What made it increasingly Difficult is not Only was No Road Through a Short Horror Film which makes locating Information Trickier, but there is a Major Hollywood Full Length Film by the Same Name (though it has a Completely Different Premise altogether).

Premise:

On December 15th, 2008 four 17 Year Old Boys from Stevanage, Herefordshire were Reported Missing by Their Families. Two Days Later, Their Dead Bodies were found at Broomhall Farm, Ten Miles away from Stevenage in the Car They had been Driving. The Farm was thought to have been Abandoned, yet Further Investigation showed Signs of being Recently Inhabited. A Digital Camcorder was also Found in the Teens Car. This Video is Unedited Footage taken Straight from the Camera Itself, which has been Released with the Family’s Consent.

Enjoy.

We Hope You Enjoyed this Tale of Urban Legend Lunacy as Much as We Did.
