Damien Leone's Terrifier 3 being so gory and violent that it remained unrated, the holiday-themed threequel defied the odds and became one of the five highest-grossing horror movies of 2024. Terrifier 3 spilled so much blood, and in such a depraved fashion, that audience were reportedly getting sick at some of its earliest screenings.
Instead of being put off by the Terrifier franchise's bloodiest scenes, modern audiences responded with curiosity and enthusiasm, and strong word-of-mouth helped propel Terrifier 3 to heights previously untouched by unrated horror movies.
