Between Sienna seeing Art for the first time, Indiegogo backers as extras, gratuitous tommy gun blasts, and fire stunts, The Clown Cafe scene is one of the movie’s biggest – and one Leone’s favorite – set pieces.

It was channeling through him, and he was supplying Sienna with what she needed to go forward on her journey. Fast forward to 2012 when Brandon Cronenberg debuted Antiviral at Cannes, his debut feature competed in the Un Certain Regard section. So not only was the son contending with the legacy of his famous father, they were both in the public eye with the same actor at the same time. For a time, David Cronenberg was indisputably Canada’s most famous director (he and Atom Egoyan seemed to parry for public favour throughout most of the early 90s).While I didn’t enjoy Terrifier 2 very much myself (you can read my 4/10 review HERE), I have been very glad to see an unrated horror movie having so much success in theatres.

Starting out as an intern at trade bible Screen International, he was promoted to report and analyse UK box-office results, as well as carving his own niche with horror movies, attending genre festivals around the world. While he maintains a bit of mystique regarding the character, Leone seems to confirm that he is not Art. Meanwhile there is also a blu-ray boxset which contains both Terrifier (2016) and Terrifier 2 (2022) releasing on the same day.

More than a mere dream sequence that some people have dismissed it as, it’s pivotal to Sienna’s journey.

Syd injects himself with patent-protected diseases and uses a bootleg ReadyFace machine in his closet to crack the security mechanism, leaving him free to sell the diseases to Arvid ( Joe Pingue), whose legitimate business is growing celebrity cell steaks for literal cannibalistic consumption. When he was younger, the budding filmmaker inadvertently awakened his mother by melting sulfur-based clay on the stove for a special effect, filling the house with foul smoke.

That’s one of the cool things about Art that separates him from the other slashers, is that he’s not immediately threatening,” he explains.
