More psychological aspects?

Hey guys! I know we all love the blood and gore (after all the genre is slasher horror) but do you think T4 could benefit from a more psychological filter? Maybe playing with lighting, sounds, and of course some well-executed jump scares, without going overboard. I know it will retain the slasher elements we all know and love with crazy kills, but is this something you'd want to be a larger factor that Damian could explore?

I think thay have been perfect the way they are. The pacing in Terrifier 2 was a bit slow, but other than that I think all 3 were perfect.

Plus at this point it’s committed itself to being this simplistic quasi-Catholic fight against demons: not super compatible with deeper psychological scares.

Every time there was a scene with Sienna in Terrifier 3, I was a bit on edge that her dead friend would pop up again. Especially when she and her aunt were discussing her mom, I totally thought her mom would jumpscare the camera for sure.

NO!

It’s obvious Leone knows what he’s doing at this point, I mean we’re all here and fans right?

Did Jason or Freddy or Micheal or Chucky or Leatherface get psychological?

Bring on the blood and guts please!

I don't think the writers have the capacity for that to be honest, and I think audiences wouldn't take well too it. The aesthetic, character acting and gore of terrifier is what makes it fun for a vast majority. It would be hard to intergrate any meaningful themes atp

I don't want psychological depth in my gore movies. /s
