October 7th 2024.
The highly anticipated release of Terrifier 3 has caused quite a stir in the horror movie world. After its shocking UK premiere, where audience members were reportedly vomiting and walking out, the film has now been banned from viewers under the age of 18 in France due to its graphic content.
This third installment of the popular horror franchise, directed by Damien Leone, follows the infamous Art The Clown as he returns to Miles County five years after the events of the second film. With Christmas as the backdrop, Art is ready to unleash his reign of terror once again.
One survivor of Art's previous attacks, Sienna Shaw, has been struggling to cope with the trauma she endured. Her life has been turned upside down as she senses Art's return, and she has been in and out of medical facilities seeking help. The anticipation for Terrifier 3's release on October 11 has been building, but now the film has received an under-18's ban in France, making it the first film in almost 20 years to receive such a restriction.
The last time a film received this level of censorship in France was in 2006 with the release of Saw 3. Typically, horror films in France are given an under-16 ban, with an under-18 ban reserved for the most extreme and graphic of films. The decision has received backlash from horror fans, who find it ridiculous and even insane, considering the other films that have been released in France this year.
The French distributors of Terrifier 3, ESC Éditions, Shadowz Films, and Factoris Films, have released a joint statement expressing their disappointment with the ban. They believe that the film is a work of art in the slasher genre, with exaggerated and unrealistic violence that is not to be taken too seriously. They also defend the hard work of the team behind the film and the distribution companies who have been promoting it for the past two years.
The distributors go on to say that the audience for these types of films, even teenagers, are passionate cinephiles who respect the artistry and creativity behind them. They believe that restricting access to these films only sends a disturbing message and distances the audience from the creators.
Despite the controversy, early reviews of Terrifier 3 have been positive, with many praising the film's gore and shocking moments. Digital Spy even calls it the most offensive and shocking Terrifier yet. However, others caution viewers about the extreme nature of the film, warning them to turn back before it's too late.
As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await the opportunity to see Art The Clown wreak havoc on the big screen once again. And for those who are still unsure about the film, the distributors have a simple message: "Terrifier 3 is released in cinemas on October 11. Got a story?
