Cinedigm, in cooperation with Dread, is streaming Terrifier on SCREAMBOX now!

From Writer/Director Damien Leone (All Hallows’ Eve), 2016’s ultra-gory slasher broke new ground in the horror community and introduced the world to the demonic killer, Art the Clown, played by David Howard ThorntonOut for a bit of fun on Halloween night, Art sets his sadistic sights on terrorizing a young girl (Samantha Scaffidi), leaving a pile of bodies in his wake.    

The film premiered at the Telluride Horror Show Film Festival in 2016 and was screened at the Horror Channel FrightFest in 2017. Terrifier was nominated for three awards at the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, including Best Limited Release & Best Supporting Actor. It was nominated for three Fright Meter Awards, with David Howard Thornton taking home Best Actor.  

Following its release via Dread in 2016, the film and its eccentric lead quickly found their way into the heart of pop culture.

‘The Strangers: Chapter 1’ Rated “R” for “Horror Violence” and “Language”

Published

on

We are now less than one month away from the release of Lionsgate’s The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first film in a brand new reboot trilogy from director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea). It’s coming to theaters May 17, 2024.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 has officially been rated “R” this week for…

“Horror violence, language and brief drug use.”

For the sake of comparison, Bryan Bertino’s original home invasion film was rated “R” for “violence/terror,” while Prey at Night was rated “R” for “horror violence and terror throughout.”

Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”), Froy Gutierrez (Hocus Pocus 2), Rachel Shenton (The Silent Child), Ema Horvath (“Rings of Power”) and Gabe Basso (Hillbilly Elegy) star.

Based on the original 2008 cult horror franchise, the project features Petsch, who drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Gutierrez) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers.

Here’s the full official synopsis: “After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive.”

Renny Harlin (CliffhangerDeep Blue SeaDie Hard 2) is directing from a script by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland (The Freak BrothersDue Date). Lionsgate will distribute worldwide.

The Strangers began in 2008 with Bryan Bertino’s original home invasion horror movie, a terrifying film that introduced three masked killers who returned 10 years later with The Strangers: Prey at Night in 2018. The first film took place in a remote house in the woods while the sequel brought the murderous Man in the Mask, Dollface and Pinup Girl into a trailer park.
