TERRIFIER 2 COLLECTOR’S EDITION BLU-RAY!
Terrifier 2 (2022) (full review HERE) took the horror world by storm when it’s theatrical release earned the partially crowd funded film an over $15 million worldwide gross on a modest $250,000 budget. It wonderfully reignited distributor and theater interest in giving indie horrors the theatrical release they deserve. Recent releases like Skinamarink and The Outwaters owe this flick a debt of thanks. The gory sequel also established Art the Clown as a new horror icon and Lauren LaVera as an instant fan favorite final girl with the horror film community…not to mention filmmaker Damien Leone as a force to be reckoned with. The film was released on physical media on December 27th, 2022.
Sexy and tough Sienna (Lauren LaVera) will prove a worthy adversary for Terrifier2‘s Art!
As for the disc itself….
The high-definition transfer of this horror/gore-fest looks great, especially for a low budget indie film. The colors are vibrant, and the picture is sharp, highlighting Damien Leone’s creative and effective visual style along with Art’s extremely brutal and gory kills. The 2hr and 18min film is presented in the original 1.78:1 aspect ratio with a 1080 high-definition scan. The sound is presented in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio.
Now on to the extras….
The extras here are satisfying but hardcore fans will probably be left wanting more. There is a really cool and extensive behind-the-scenes documentary featurette on the making of the movie with a lot of production/FX footage. The leading ladies were all quite the troopers with what they had to go through. There is also an extended cast interview with Bloody Disgusting.com’s The Boo Crew that too features a lot of behind-the-scenes footage. Oddly it appears the menu listing is flopped, though, as clicking on the feature gets you the interviews and clicking on the interviews gets you the documentary feature. At least it’s all there. There is also director’s commentary from Damien Leone, the movie trailer and a fan “Art” gallery. The regular edition also comes with a nice slipcover with different artwork than the Blu-ray cover inside.
Art inadvertently unleashes a warrior within!
Terrifier 2 is now already considered a cult classic blood bath from the mind of innovative director and FX man, Damien Leone. A success equally attributed to Leone’s casting of David Howard Thorton as Art and Lauren LaVera as final girl Sienna. Thanks to the folks at Scream Box, it can be enjoyed any time of year on this solid Blu-ray release! Also available on DVD and 4K discs, too.
