‘Terrifier 3’ – An Eyewitness Account of Two People Passing Out at a Theater in Australia

I’ve been in this business a long time and can understand why it’s such a hard sell for people to believe a movie can be so potent that it physically affects its viewers.

I think one of the reasons is that we’re all such seasoned horror fans that movies don’t affect us the same way as others, although I’d be remiss if I didn’t admit to covering my eyes and cringing into a ball during two scenes in The Substance (now playing in theaters).

As for Terrifier, the films have proven to be highly effective on audiences.

When we released Terrifier 2 in theaters back in 2022, it was an Unrated special event release, which meant a limited run whose target audience was fans of Terrifier and hardcore horror films. None of us even thought for a second that the insanely gory slasher sequel would cause viewers to pass out and vomit – this caught us all off guard.

After the media lit the fuse, it became a challenge for the average moviegoer to see if they could handle the stomach-churning ultra gore that many of us are accustomed to. This was pure and authentic. We had photos from theater lobbies, shots of vomit on the theater floors, and witness testimonies to corroborate the reports.

This brings us to Terrifier 3, this time opening in theaters nationwide on October 11. While Terrifier 2 caught a lot of people off guard – before T2 it was unheard of to see an unrated horror movie getting a wide release – this time, people know what to expect. Still, Damien Leone‘s latest slasher is so potent that it’s knocking people on their asses on a global scale.

Just last week, 9 people walked out of the UK premiere before the opening sequence, and one person was confirmed to have vomited. In France, minors under 18 years of age have been banned from seeing the film in theaters entirely. Now, there are reports out of a screening in Perth Australia at the Innaloo Cinemas that two people passed out and fell down the stairs.

One of those eyewitness accounts comes from extremely credible Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic , who saw it happen before her own eyes.
