Here's how to watch Terrifier 2... if you're feeling very brave!

Terrifier 2 has gone viral on social media due to some seriously gruesome content that's making cinema fans throw up and pass out, so naturally, seasoned horror fans are keen to find out what's caused people to react so viscerally. 

The sequel is a follow-up to 2016's Terrifier and follows killer Art the Clown's resurrection and subsequent pursuit of Sienna Shaw and her younger brother Jonathan one year on from the events of the first film.

It gained attention on Twitter after Andrew Liming explained that his friend passed out and the theater staff called an ambulance, before following up to say he "highly recommended it". If you're a fan of the more extreme horror movies, that's a glowing recommendation right there!

Terrifier 2 had its world premiere at Arrow FrightFest, London, on August 29, 2022, before releasing in cinemas across the US on October 6, 2022, but it is now available for purchase in the UK. 

On November 2, the film's producers revealed that they had officially submitted Terrifier 2 for Oscars consideration, meaning Art the Clown could be in with a chance of nabbing an Oscar when Awards season rolls around. 

Distributor Bloody Disgusting has also joined in and publicly announced that they've backed the gorefest too, with BD founder Brad Miska writing: "No, it will never actually happen. Yes, it’s a total goof. But you know what? The thought of having members of the Academy endure an extreme unrated horror movie that they would otherwise consider beneath them? That’s just too hilarious of an opportunity to pass up."

Currently, Terrifier 2 is not widely available to watch and it doesn't look like it's coming to a major streaming service like Netflix any time soon. However, there are still places you can watch the gory new horror movie.

Screambox has acquired all North American rights, meaning it will stream exclusively with them once it has stopped airing in cinemas. This streaming service is available exclusively in the US and is home to all things horror.

Meanwhile, the film is now available on Blu-Ray and DVD, for those keen to add to their physical media collection. Both versions were released on October 24, 2022.

Terrifier 2 skipped cinemas across the pond, but it did receive a physical release on DVD and BluRay in the UK.
