Terrifier 3 slashes into cinemas next month, with Art the Clown on a Christmas rampage in the highly-anticipated horror movie.
The threequel held its world premiere last night (September 19) at Fantastic Fest, and those lucky few to have already seen it have taken to Twitter to share their first reactions – and it's safe to say Terrifier 3 hasn't toned anything down.
"Terrifier 3 is some absolutely depraved sicko shit (complimentary). The movie looks AMAZING (2 split diopters!), Lauren LaVera has an all-timer final girl sequence, and David Howard Thornton absolutely rocks as Art the Clown once again," wrote Alex Papaioannou.
James Preston Poole added: "Terrifier 3 is truly evil. And I mean that in the best possible way. Grindhouse beyond Grindhouse. Truly sickening practical effects mixed with a lore that is getting more and more intricate. I don’t know how Damien Leone tops this."

Other first reactions to Terrifier 3 have called it the "most disgusting, gory, vile thing I've ever seen" and teased a "shower scene that will go down in history", as well as being "harrowing and hilarious at the same time".
What to Read Next
Another reaction seemed to sum up the general reaction: "You silly fools have no idea what is waiting for you in Terrifier 3. You wouldn’t believe what these eyes have seen."
Terrifier 3 picks up after the events of Terrifier 2 as survivor Sienna is plagued by disturbing visions of Art the Clown. As she begins to realise there's no escaping the past, Art comes back to shatter the peace Sienna has fought to regain.
