‘Terrifier 3‘ seems to be living up to its reputation causing viewers to walk out in its opening scenes.

Damien Leone Warns Viewers About The Opening Scenes Of ‘Terrifier 3’
In conversation with Lad Bible, Damien Leone replied to viewers’ hurling reaction to his film. He said, “Mark my words.

The director warned, “If you thought Art the Clown’s reign of terror in part two was extreme, you haven’t seen anything yet.” While filming, Leone’s team told the director that he had to tone down the gore scenes to cater to a larger audience. He told Total Film, “They would say, ‘It’s gotta be rated R, it can’t be as gory as you made it.'”
The director added, “I knew they’d never let me shoot the first 10 minutes of what I wanted to do. So I thought, ‘Let’s just stay true to what this franchise is.'” The second installment of the franchise was one of the few independent films to have earned a fat box-office collection of $15 million over a modest budget of $250,000.
