Breaking News for French Movie-Lovers
Hey there, movie fans! Some interesting news just dropped from France’s film classification committee. The latest installment of the gory slasher franchise, “Terrifier 3”, has been slapped with an under-18 ban. Now, that’s pretty major because no movie has been hit with such a ban since “Saw 3” way back in 2006!
Putting a Damper on the Premiere
“Terrifier 3” will still hit the French box-office on October 9, despite the new hurdle. Well, safe to say, the distributors, Factoris Films, are not exactly thrilled. They feel that this ruling is going to dampen the release of a movie many were waiting for.
Factoris Films Speak Up
In a statement, Factoris Films expressed their disappointment over the unexpected decision, voicing concern about how it will affect the film’s release. They believe the film is more artistic in nature, its violence portrayed in a grand-guignolistic (that’s a big word for theatrical) and unrealistic light. They’re confident that their audience, a bunch of passionate cinephiles, even if they’re teenagers, have the understanding and maturity to appreciate this artistic approach.
Standing Up for Their Movies
Factoris Films haven’t shied away from delivering intense flicks in the past, and they’re quick to remind us of that. Four of their recent releases, including the predecessor “Terrifier 2”, also carried warnings for viewers under 16. But surprise, surprise! None of them stirred up any trouble at movie theaters!
UK Screening Leads to Early Exits
Here’s some juice for those craving for more! The first official UK screening of “Terrifier 3” led to several viewers leaving the theater, some even right at the opening scene. There’s even talk of someone puking! Gross! But hey, it’s not every day your movie elicits such physical reactions, right?
Showcasing Producers’ Pride
Far from being concerned, the ‘Terrifier 3’ producers appear to be pretty proud about shaking up moviegoers. They’ve even rolled out a reaction trailer showcasing people‘s horrified reactions, with descriptions ranging from “disgusting” to “scarier than ever”.
Back with a Bang
“Terrorifier 3” continues the saga of Art, our favoured killer clown, who comes back from the dead thanks to a supernatural force to wreak havoc on Miles County. Reports of people passing out, puking, and crying from the last ‘Terrifier’ movie were as much a part of its marketing as the movie itself. This film franchise doesn’t just aim to surprise, it’s all set to repulse!
So there you have it, folks – everything you need to know about the latest “Terrifier 3” drama. Will the under-18 ban affect its performance? Only time will tell!
With love,
Your friendly neighborhood movie critic.
