Restricted to under 18s, is Terrifier 3 that shocking?

Terrify 3 : the horror film forbidden to minors under 18

A few days before the release of Terrify 3 in French cinemas, we learned from distributors ESC Éditions, Shadowz Films and Factoris Films ESC Films that only those over 18 could discover the horror film. The Classification Commission has in fact decided to go as well as a restriction to children under 16. A rare decision (you have to go back Seen 3 in 2006), and deplored by the companies mentioned above. Because from that moment on the valorization of the film becomes even more complicated. Knowing it Terrify 3 it’s not the kind of production that attracts a large audience. This is not one of the Blumhouse or James Wan productions, which are generally appreciated by us. Buta low budget Z serieswhich stands out for its crazy approach to the genre slasher and which entertains by pushing blood to the extreme.

Yep, the release of Terrify 2 in January 2023 had given an idea of ​​the tone of the saga created by Damien Leone. At the time the feature film was prohibited to children under 16 and had accumulated approx 70,000 entries. Regarding this film, we wrote that “if some viewers said they vomited in front of it Terrify 2for us, laughter prevails over retching. Because unlike The sadnesswhich aims to be, to a certain extent, more “realistic”, plays Damien Leone the card of extreme excess and irony wins“.

A truly shocking film?

Our opinion on Terrify 3 it is quite close to that of the second work. With, in our opinion, a better job on the scenario. Therefore, the ban on children under 18 seems disproportionate. Even if Art the Clown continues to massacre with all his strength and in a creative way, everything remains burlesque and so crude that it cannot be Don’t take crime scenes seriously. Contrary to The sadness for example, an ultraviolent film that will have had a profound impact on us by confronting us with instantaneous and irrational violence. Like this scene of a man raping a dead woman by digging into the hole of her lacerated eye. A passage partly hidden by the positioning of the camera, but in our opinion far more shocking than anything Damien Leone could offer.

Hard to find this garbage Terrify 3even if a naked man is dismembered and another is killed by rats that are swallowed by him. Again, nothing that surprising when you know the saga Terrorize. Perhaps it could be estimated child murders they are the most shocking thing in the film. But everything happens out of frame, or is represented by an explosion. All that remains is the appearance of corpses that no longer resemble anything after the passing of Art the Clown.

Where to watch the movie?

Despite the ban on Terrify 3 for children under 18, the exhibitors did not hesitate at the idea of ​​screening the film in their theaters. Initially, 110 cinemas had planned to screen the feature, before another seven were added to bring the total to this total 117 rooms from Wednesday 9 October. A figure that could increase if the public requests it Terrify 3 directly in theaters that aren’t showing it yet. Edizioni ESC instead invited spectators to respect the theaters, explaining that “at the slightest excess we know that the film will be deprogrammed“.
