Terrifier 3 (2024)

 

Terrifier 3 is the latest installment of Damien Leone's signature killer clown.

Originally Damien Leone was known for makeup and special practical effects, now he's known for giving the world Art the Clown. He continues to write and direct the film, and I'm glad he has yet to try to diversify the directorial and writing duties as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it. He also did what I think everyone wanted with Elliott Fullam's character and by the end of the film you might agree.

David Howard Thornton looks like a normal dude without makeup on, but when he's put up to be Art he transforms. There is a lot of physical humor in the film this time around and he still needs to do all of this without speaking. 

The film brings back Victoria from the first two films played by Samantha Scaffidi, she is dolled up with her grotesque mutilated face and has some horror and humor to herself as well. The biggest buy is how well Lauren LaVera has evolved her acting since her introduction in the second film.

The film made people walk out with how bloody disgusting it was. Result: B+

Psycho Killer (2026)

Psycho Killer (2026) is a religious-tinged detective thriller that leans far more into procedural tension than outright horror. Directed by Gavin Polone , who is better known as a producer than a filmmaker, the movie benefits heavily from its screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker , the writer behind Se7en .

The gorgeous  Georgina Campbell plays the detective tracking down the titular killer, and she carries the film with confidence. You'll remember her from Barbarian and recently Cold Storage.  The script gives her plenty of emotional range to explore, from controlled professionalism to visible cracks under pressure. She handles the lore-heavy exposition well and grounds what could have been overwhelming backstory. It is another strong showing for her and proof she c...

Cold Storage (2026)

Cold Storage (2026) is a sci fi horror thriller that surprised me in a good way. The writing is solid enough that it actually calmed some of my worries about Disclosure Day coming later this year since the same writer is involved. The story holds together and stays engaging, even when the visuals do not. The CG is laughably bad at times, but the acting/chemistry keeps the movie watchable. Jonny Campbell directs, with the screenplay by David Koepp , known for Jurassic Park and Spider-Man . His writing here is tighter than expected, which is why it gives me more confidence about Disclosure Day. The direction is straightforward and lets the script do most of the work, even if the effects budget clearly limits what can be shown on screen. He needs a redemption after  Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Joe Keery , known for Stranger Things and Free Guy , is the main reason I showed up. He proves he can handle a leading role after Stranger Things and carries the film with a relax...
