This series of comics focuses on the 'red in my ledger' aspect of Black Widow, as was mentioned in the MCU film, The Avengers. Which was a good direction to go to get people interested in a Black Widow comic. Overall, a great opening volume of the series.

This documentary is a fun film. If you are looking for something that is like your normal documentaries move a long. Would say this film meets the style of Ed Roth. Having a background in graphic design so this was an ideal movie for me. I would recommend this to people that like graphic design, gear heads and or comicbook. It is great to see how his art has influenced things we have today, like graphic tshirts.

Intriguing new character "Art" (1 more)
Gore galore
Doesn't seem to really have any depth (1 more)
Style over substance?
Does what it promises...but little more
So I finally got around to watching Terrifier, and yeah, it was pretty good.
Art the Clown is a captivating antagonist, with the playful tendencies of pennywise combined with the raw savagery of Jason, with just a pinch of the sadistic in there too.
The kills are largely effective, and brutal, the other characters are mostly fine and bearable, and certainly this is a film worthy of a sequel.
However, there is a niggling criticism that Terrifier is just a series of largely unrelated scenes, where they try to make Art as Brutal/Weird/Unsettling as possible, without really concerning themselves with any sort of a deeper plot, lore or moral.
The rules and motivations surrounding Art are unclear, at times hinting at mother issues, him just being an ordinary lunatic, but also having some supernatural elements too.
Its enjoyable enough without the lore and background, but for Art to transcend from a one off (if you ignore the short film starring him) we need to understand more.
Still, if you like your 80's gore horror, I am sure you will find something to like here.
