    ★★

    The biggest flaw of the movie is the same one its predecessor has: there is absolutely zero reason for this movie to be over two hours long. I don't come to gor(e)ror films expecting Oscar-worthy storylines, but there is almost NOTHING here. There's even less to grab on to than there was in Terrifier 2, and that's saying something.

    It's got a lot to say about aging, body dysmorphia, the irresponsibility of youth, and the predatory nature of the entertainment industry, but none of it is new or revelatory. Beautifully shot, well acted, and edited such that the runtime is actually *mostly* justified. Most of the third act could have been left out, but this is a good body-horror movie that isn't as gross-out as your Cronenbergs.

    Adult Swim really cracked the code on stuff like this more than a decade ago when they figured out it shouldn't be longer than 15 minutes.
