A traumatizing horror movie has reportedly left two fans unconscious.

Ever since we heard that the third installment of Damien Leone's Terrifier franchise is set to make its debut during the month of horror, we've been excited.

If you haven't seen the trailer yet, watch it here:

If you've never watched any of the previous movies in the line-up then you're certainly in for a treat.

The movie is centered around a figure known as 'Art the Clown' who goes on gory rampages wherever he may be and the latest movie is no different.

After the insanity that is Terrifier and Terrifier 2, the third movie is set to, yet again, tell the story of the iconic killer clown but this time he is planning to unleash chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve, as per it's official IMDb description.

Have you ever seen a clown dressed as Santa Claus? It's pretty horrifying.

Anyway, the movie made its debut in the United Kingdom last week where cinema-goers who sat down at the Vue theatre in Leicester Square were reportedly left "traumatized" after watching the opening scene of Terrifier 3.

According to the Daily Mail, nine people walked out, with one person reportedly throwing up during the first few minutes and another having a panic attack following another scene. 

Medical professionals were on standby to treat those who had suffered from seeing what Leone had in store for them.


And there's been a similar response on the other side of the world in Australia.

Once again, the outlet reported that over the weekend, two people fainted and "fled for the exit" after seeing Art the Clown ripping people to shreds - dressed as Santa Claus, of course.

According to multiple eyewitness accounts relayed to the outlet, one woman injured herself after she fell down the stairs while fleeing the movie theater. 

Emma Clarke, a Rotten Tomatoes verified critic, opened up about what she saw, stating that one person fainted during the opening scene, while a second fainted closer to the end.

Both of them were said to be running to the bathroom because they were feeling "queasy."


Last year Leone revealed that there was some pushback on the movie due to its extremely violent scenes.

"I got to meet with studios, like legit Hollywood studios, who wanted to make Terrifier 3," he told JoBlo last year. "But before I even had a script, just based on the success of part 2, and just having meetings and getting the feel that I was going to have eyes over my shoulders, and they were concerned about the levels of gore and this and that."

He also added that he knew that this movie wasn't going to get picked up on just the first few scenes alone.

"I knew, and not having seen my script or have any idea what I had in mind, I knew they weren't going to let me make this movie based on the first five pages. Like that's how insane Terrifier 3 is," the director said. "So mark my words, I guarantee you the first five minutes of this movie is going to be very controversial. But that's not even the big kill scene. 

"So like that's why I was like, I need to just make this movie on my own because it's just too… it's too insane," he concluded.


Terrifier 3 is set to be released on October 11 in the United Kingdom and other countries worldwide.
