10 Terrifying Horror Films You’ve Probably Never Seen

Now this film must come with a warning as well as a recommendation. This WILL give most viewers nightmares. Everything about Terrifier is just so unsettling and can be compared to watching a man repeatedly getting hit in the unmentionables: no matter how hard you wince, you simply can’t look away.

A slasher through and through, Terrifier follows the vile escapades of Art the Clown, who may earn the title of the harlequin of horror (apologies to the Joker and Pennywise), as he single-handedly murders an apartment building on Halloween.

David Howard Thornton brings an unprecedented amount of energy to this film as he gleefully hacks and slashes his way through a variety of characters. This film pulls no punches and makes the violence of the likes of Saw look like an episode of Treehouse of Horror, as well as making killer clowns like American Horror Story’s Twisty look a little more like Krusty.

For those who want to leave behind the artsy, symbolic horror films that are growing in popularity, Terrifier takes that idea and stabs it until it is nothing but bloody viscera. A real throwback to slashers that paved the way, this ferocious film is sure to leave viewers sick to the stomach with an acute fear of clowns like never before.
