Graphic Violence In Clown-Themed Horror Movie Reportedly Causing People To Vomit And Faint
And no, it’s not a movie about Chi Chi LaRue. It’s something called Terrifier 2 (was there a Terrifier 1?), and people are so sickened by the film’s violence, they’re throwing up and passing out in theaters:
Since its opening, reports of viewers “vomiting” and ‘”fainting” during the viewing experience have hit social media.
“My friend passed out and the theater called an ambulance. Highly recommended,” one Twitter user wrote. Another user wrote, “the guy behind me passed out cold n crashed into my chair, another guy left because he didn’t feel good, I overheard him say and walking out theatre door I heard a guy puking hard & loud in the bathroom.”
OK, things posted by random people on Twitter obviously aren’t verified facts, so this sounds like a made-up story to generate a few more ticket sales. The film’s director responded to the puking and fainting:
Writer and director Damien Leone recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the audience’s visceral reaction to his film.
“Listen, I would have loved to have a couple of walk-outs, I think that’s sort of a badge of honor because it is an intense movie,” he told the outlet, “I don’t want people fainting, getting hurt during the movie. But it’s surreal.”

The trailer for Terrifier 2, which looks like it might be even worse than the disastrous joke Halloween Ends, an almost impossible feat.
