10 Best New Horror Movies For Halloween 2022

9. Terrifier 2

Considering Terrifier wasn't that great, no one was expecting much from the sequel (especially after a six-year hiatus).

To everyone's surprise, Terrifier 2 is WAY better than it deserves to be. Instead of tossing out more of the same, Terrifier 2 expands on the mythology of our returning villain, Art the Clown, allowing us to see him more than a perverse jester.

Then there's the gore. When you think of the bloodiest movies ever, you probably picture Braindead, Cannibal Holocaust, or Ichi the Killer.

Well, guess what? Terrifier 2 has joined those ranks. While watching the way Art gleefully tears his victims asunder, it's impossible not to feel squeamish. Although a lot of horror sequels make the mistake of focusing too much on upping the bloodshed, Terrifier 2 gets away with it since the violence is so unabashedly mean-spirited.

Boasting a 138-minute run-time, Terrifier 2 is one of the longest slashers ever. And yet, you rarely feel its length, since it finds a fine balance between developing the overarching plot and keeping viewers entertained with visceral gore. All in all, Terrifier 2 stands out as among the best horror sequels we've had in a long time.
