The new horror movie Terrifier 3 comes with a warning, telling viewers that they might feel “unwell” during the slasher from director Damien Leone, with the opening scene already prompting walkouts and vomiting.
The Terrifier films, which follow the exploits of serial killer Art the Clown, have earned a reputation with viewers for the film’s extreme levels of violence and gore.
The previous film reportedly made people “pass out” in theatres which Leone denied was a “marketing ploy” created to promote the independent movie.
…
An image shared on the film’s X/Twitter account shows a note on a cinema door telling people: “Warning! This film contains extreme violence and excessive gore. If you are feeling unwell, please find a member of staff. Staff trained in first aid are on site.”
The image is captioned with, “Don’t say we didn’t warn you…”
Of course, while most people would be horrified by the sound of film that might cause you to need first aid, horror fans are seemingly gleeful at the thought.
This must seem like free advertising to Leone.
Yeah. They said this about the first (or second) one too. I like the movies, but this is just a gimmick.
