The horror movie Terrifier 2, which is known for its bloody gore, just grossed $5.2 million worldwide.
The story of Terrifier 2 continues the story of Terrifier 1, with Art the Clown haunting a teenage girl and her brother on Halloween. Due to its shocking levels of gore, the movie was in the news earlier this month in the US and in the UK on Monday (24 October).

But it’s also a blast.” A movie reviewer at IGN, Matt Donato, said: “Terrifier 2 rips, tears, hacks, shreds, butchers, disembowels, decapitates, devours, pulverizes, tenderizes, slices, dices, skewers – I’m missing plenty – and knock-em-out-dead eviscerates the competition when it comes to low-budget slashers.”
