I'm a sucker for a good horror movie – the type that leaves an audience in a fit of squeals, barely able to watch while grabbing the hand of the person next to them. But in recent years, many have promised to deliver that but never do. It's all CGI, terrible storylines and one jump-scare that makes you roll your eyes.

It's a film that has seen even the most seasoned horror movie fans in the US leave early to throw-up or even faint , with cinemas handing out vomit bags before the screening. Now I've seen it, I can completely understand why.
The R18+ movie follows the story of Art the Clown, played by David Howard Thornton, who terrorises a small town with its demoniac and ultra-gory acts on Christmas Eve. This time he has a companion; Victoria, who you might remember from the first Terrifier , is back as his possessed partner-in-crime.

The opening scene alone is shocking, involving Art breaking into a family's home on Christmas Eve whi.
