The characters are flat, the dialogue is bad, and the plot is absurd; it fails to build any suspense and therefore lacks the stakes that make a psychological horror film scary. But Terrifier 2 is not a psychological thriller, nor is it pretending to be. And that's why it's fantastic.

To say that Terrifier 2 exceeded profit expectations would be an understatement. The sequel ended up turning overR$11 million at the domestic box office during its original run, andR$15.4 million worldwide.
