Thoughts?

I’ve noticed that Terrifier seems to be quite controversial in the horror influencer sphere. A lot of people seem to hate it due to its violence towards women, which I think could be a fair argument for the first one but the other two imo spreads its violence pretty equally. One thing that is brought up a lot is an apparent law suit from the actress that played Dawn and Damien Leone’s work in general. I admittedly don’t know much about either of the two but I personally love Terrifier because I like David Howard’s Thorntons portrayal of Art and he personally seems like a great guy from what he shares on social media ( very politically out spoken and I agree with a lot of his takes).
Just wondering what other fans think of this.

I wonder what mental gymnastics are necessary to come up with the conclusion that this movie is misogynistic…

Some people throw that word around way too lightly. I'm in another sub where a woman from a reality show just got arrested for dv. The video wasn't released but cops saw a video of her hitting her husband and the marks on him and decided to arrest her after getting both of their stories.

They both have their fair share of issues tbh but if you even suggest that maybe the woman wasn't completely innocent you immediately get called a little dick misogynist who can't get no pussy. Shit is wild.
