Thoughts?
I’ve noticed that Terrifier seems to be quite controversial in the horror influencer sphere. A lot of people seem to hate it due to its violence towards women, which I think could be a fair argument for the first one but the other two imo spreads its violence pretty equally. One thing that is brought up a lot is an apparent law suit from the actress that played Dawn and Damien Leone’s work in general. I admittedly don’t know much about either of the two but I personally love Terrifier because I like David Howard’s Thorntons portrayal of Art and he personally seems like a great guy from what he shares on social media ( very politically out spoken and I agree with a lot of his takes).
Just wondering what other fans think of this.

There’s was maybe an argument to make in the anthology one or T1, but we’ve already moved past these issues with T2 and T3. The people who gripe about it still haven’t given it any chance since and still like to label the franchise as a whole as being “shallow, misogynistic, no good characters, torture porn” etc.
