Read our privacy policy The gory new horror movie Terrifier 3 comes with a warning after prompting walk-outs and vomiting, but audiences don’t seem to mind – the film has debuted with an impressive Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 94 percent. Bloody Disgusting is now reporting that France’s Classification Committee has moved to enforce a rare ban on the film, according to the film’s French distributors ESC Éditions, Shadowz Films and Factoris Films. “Terrifier 3 is a film d’auteur in the purest tradition of the slasher genre, with perfectly ‘grand-guignolesque’ and unrealistic violence. The film never takes itself too seriously, and we know that viewers will have the necessary distance and maturity to understand and appreciate this artistic approach.” Watch Apple TV+ free for 7 days New subscribers only.
