Terrifier (2011)
10/10
A tremendous horror/terror short

Warning: Spoilers
Possibly the best short I've seen. Certainly the most terrifying. Damien Leone has done two unlikely things.

1. He has created a menacing-terrifying clown that puts all other killer clowns to shame.

2. Created a modern day slasher Icon with Art. The 3rd feature length Terrifier is coming out later this year. Can't wait to see how far he takes Art.

Anyway this short film is about a young woman who, on Halloween night, witnesses a heinous murder. She is then chased relentlessly by Art The Clown. Art is much more supernatural in his debut than part 2 (I've yet to see 1) making it literally impossible to escape him.

There isn't really a plot. But its a hyper blood bath of epic proportions that genuinely mortifies to the core of human suffering.

I'd also add this film more into the "Terror" section of horror films. It's relentless. It doesn't hold back.

Also features an actress I really wanted to escape.

The final image is forever burned into my psyche.

And for that, my nightmares are grateful : )

I give this a 10/10 for being shamelessly what it is and holding no punches. And actually scaring the bejesus out of me!
