It’s been awhile since a theatrical horror film has been so absolutely brutal and intense that fans reportedly fainted during screenings. But, as it turns out, that appears to be the case with the newly-released slasher flick Terrifier 2. Many horror fans will remember that the first Terrifier film was a rather gory outing – and now it looks like Terrifier 2 has upped the ante. So much so, in fact, that reports claim Terrifier 2 viewers have both vomited and fainted at different screenings of the film.
As you can see below, there are quite a few reports. Of course, they can’t exactly be confirmed. Though it’s worth noting that Terrifier 2 is not only an extremely violent and gory film – it’s one that was released in theaters uncut. So, for unexpecting audience members, it may very well have been too much on the unsuspecting public. Especially at a time when brutal slasher films are rarely released in theaters as they were decades ago.
Here’s what some users on Twitter have stated about fans having fainted or vomited during Terrifier 2 screenings:
Watching #Terrifier2 my friend just threw up and then passed out. I’ve counted five walk outs so far. I’m loving it 🤷♂️

Just saw Terrifier 2. It was an amazing gory mess. The guy behind me passed out cold n crashed into my chair, another guy left because he didn’t feel good, I overheard him say and walking out theatre door I heard a guy puking hard & loud in the bathroom. #Terrifier2 @damienleone

Holy shit! #Terrifier2 was fantastic! Definitely not for the weak stomachs! Someone actually fainted during my screening of this movie. Art the Clown is a horror icon now. @_LaurenLaVera_ is an absolute badass final girl! Support this film! @damienleone you’re amazing! 4.5/5
