It's not just that gore is the whole point of "Terrifier 2," the sequel to 2018's low budget cult favorite "Terrifier." It's the only point of this bludgeoning exercise in splatter, which drags on well past the two hour mark with no sense of purpose other than its own inert attempts to shock. It's repetitive to the point of numbing.
David Howard Thornton is back as Art the Clown, a silent stalker in demented black-and-white clown makeup and attire who mimes his reactions to his victims' pleas for mercy and his own bloody massacres. Thornton is a gifted physical actor and Art is undoubtedly first-rate creepy, but with little or no backstory or character to lean on, there's nothing here to justify his character's bloody exploits.
After the grisly events of the first film, Art is back, pulling out victims' eyeballs and hallucinating visions of evil little girls at the laundromat, as psycho clowns do.
