Based on the teases in the thirdTerrifiermovie,Terrifier 4seems like it could be the most exciting entry in the franchise yet. However,Terrifier 4will have to avoid a mistake that aFriday the 13thsequel made.Damian Leone’sTerrifier 3was the most intenseTerrifiermovie yet. It followed both Art the Clown and Vicky, both fully possessed by demons, with the former dressing up as Santa Claus to go on his most vicious killing spree yet.
Terrifier 3raised the stakes quite substantially compared to the previous two films. This is common for horror movie franchises. However, sometimes when horror movie series attempt to raise the stakes and do something bold, it doesn’t work out. This was the case with theninth film in theFriday the 13thfranchise, titledJason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Since there is a good chancetheupcomingTerrifier 4will feature Hell,it needs to satisfy audiences more thanThe Final Fridaydid.
Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday Didn’t Actually Explore Hell
Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday Was A Misleading Title
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Fridaywas released in 1993, four years after the previous entry killed off Jason Voorhees. In the ninthFriday the 13thmovie, Jason was lured into a trap by an FBI agent and seemingly killed again. However, throughout the film,Jason’s soul possesses various people, jumping from body to body. This made for one of the weirdest, and disappointing, premises of aFriday the 13thmovie. What made the film even more disappointing was that Jason didn’t actually go to Hell until the very end of the movie.
Since the film was titledJason Goes to Hell, audiences were disappointed that the serial killer didn’t actually travel to Hell in the movie. While Jason on a killing spree throughout Hell is a pretty bizarre idea, it could have made for a very entertaining movie, at least more entertaining than the actual story of the movie. But no,Jason didn’t get dragged to Hell until the very end of the movie, which was meant to set up the eventual battle between horror iconsJason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger.
Terrifier 3 Teased That Sienna Would Go To Hell
Sienna Already Briefly Went Through A Portal To Hell In Terrifier 2
WhileTerrifier 4likely won’t include the word “Hell” in its title, theending ofTerrifier 3heavily teased that Sienna would travel to Hell in the fourth film. During the climax ofTerrifier 3,Vicky’s disintegrating body opens up a portal to Hell in the living room floor. Gabbie, Sienna’s younger cousin, ends up falling into the portal, along with the magical sword that’s capable of defeating demonic forces like Vicky and Art the Clown.
InTerrifier 3, Sienna vows to find Gabbie. Her vow, plus the fact that the magical sword has been the most important item in theTerrifierfranchise, seems to confirm thatTerrifier 4will feature Hell more prominently. After these plot points, plus the inclusion of the woman readingthe bookThe 9th Circleat the very end of the movie,it would be very disappointing if Sienna did not face off against Art the Clown in Hell inTerrifier 4.
Why The Terrifier Franchise Should Explore Hell More Than Friday The 13th Did
Demons Are Central To Terrifier’s Plot
While theFriday the 13thseries never included Hell in a prominent way, it can be forgiven since the origin of Jason Voorhees is not actually tied to Hell. In theFriday the 13thfranchise, Jason Voorhees becomes the monster he is because of the death of his mother, Pamela Voorhees, who was the killer in the originalFriday the 13thfilm. On the contrary, theTerrifierfranchise villains, such asArt the Clown, Vicky, and The Little Pale Girl, are all possessed by demons.
Sending Sienna to Hell would makeTerrifier 4the most action-packed, high-stakes film in the series, and would be the perfect way to uncover some of the mysteries in theTerrifierfranchise.
Therefore, it makes a lot more sense for theTerrifierfranchise to explore Hell and the evil forces that are guiding the villains.Sending Sienna to Hell would makeTerrifier 4the most action-packed, high-stakes film in the series, and would be the perfect way to uncover some of the mysteries in theTerrifierfranchise. Therefore, not including Hell inTerrifier 4would be a major mistake.
