Terrifier vs The Sadness? (lemmy.world)

Title pretty much says it all. When I watched the Sadness I learned, much to my surprise, that I sort of have limits where the gore becomes a bit too much.

That being said, that movie was on another level of impressively realistic horribleness happening for about two straight hours. Terrifier seems more Western and classic blood and stuff but wondered if anyone had seen both and had thoughts?

I actually paused The Sadness after the first scene and went to reddit to see if I was the only one who found this to be beyond what I could handle. I did end up finishing it but there are still scenes that are too much. I feel like The Sadness v Terrifier is similar to the comparison between american super-sized fast food and east asian gooey slurpy possibly still-alive food.

Thanks, that makes total sense.

And yeah, that first Sadness scene set the tone appropriately/ridiculously hard.

Hey just wanted to say thanks for the answer, I took the plunge and watched Terrifier, your comparison is incredibly appropriate.

My buddy wants to watch the third so I told him we're good to go thanks to random internet advice!

Glad my movie watching hobby can be helpful
