Terrifier 2 is nastier, bloodier, and MORE in every sense of the word than its predecessor. If you're down to clown, that's a good thing. awalrusdarkly's FantasticFest review:

was always going to be too long, too brutal, too insane. When its 148-minute runtime was revealed earlier this year, and horror fans learned that Damien Leone’s long-awaited sequel to his 2016 killer clown film would run almost a full hour longer than its predecessor, some were surprised.

The answer, at least according to the film itself, is that Art the Clown and his garbage bag full of violent tricks do not care about adhering to conventional wisdom. Six years after his last film, Art is back to make sure you never, ever forget him, and if that means he has to rampage across the screen for more than two hours, slashing and crushing and grinning his way through victims, so be it.

That force points him in the direction of Sienna , a teenage girl with a passion for crafting and a certain sense of impending doom about her. With Halloween on the horizon, she’s mostly thinking about the loss of her father, and even paying tribute to him with a costume based on a character he created: A warrior woman complete with a wicked-looking sword.

Like the original film, it’s easy to see the classical slasher tropes Leone and company are playing with for Art’s second rampage, but it’s also clear that the bigger canvas and established fame of Art as a known quantity allow the filmmaker to play with a more sophisticated brand of slasher carnage this time around.

There’s nothing new about slasher films setting killer and victim on their respective courses for a date with fate, but in, those courses take on an almost mystical quality; a sense of magical thinking permeates the narrative and Sienna’s own mind as her Halloween gets more and more unhinged.
