baffles me any time a successful horror filmmaker tries to pretend that horror is not inherently political when the "pure entertainment" movies they reference idolizing are almost always deeply progressive and politically transgressive

Whats he actually saying?
That fans cant be political on Terrifier posts?
Smacks of censorship.

The amount of dick sucking in his facebook comments is appalling.

Damn, i was totally turned off by the sexualized violence and misogyny in Terrifier. Then I fell so in love with DHT and LL BECAUSE of their outspoken political presence that I decided to watch 2&3 for them. Guess I should have trusted The Ick.

I adore him. I would watch him eat a bag of cat litter and applaud mightily. It just sucks that DL is riding the fence rather than sacking up like this.

Would love to know which horror he considers "pure entertainment" because I would lay London to a brick that they are political.

Ah damn, they only had one movie left until franchise retirement.

After seeing the first Terrifier and his response to criticisms of misogyny, I noped out of the franchise. His tepid tweets don't surprise me at all. I'd love to know what Thornton thinks of his weak sauce stance.

Caroline Williams has always been a both-sider...

It’s like he’s trying to get his two leads to walk out rather than being in Terrifier 4.

I get to be real smug and say I’ve never seen any of the Terrifier films and that streak shall continue. Bunch of wet babies

mannyhec.bsky.social•30 days ago

Same. I don't think I was aware of any of this, at least not overtly, but there was a whiff of something coming off the franchise that kept me away and maybe this was what I was smelling.

Just a vibe but you just gotta trust your gut

I’m very curious if the actor playing Art, who is one the most aggressively outspoken liberals in horror, will chime in regarding this.

bjcolangelo.bsky.social•30 days ago

This post is him kowtowing to the people who harass his actors for being aggressively outspoken liberals to the point of them leaving some social media platforms. They don't have to chime in at all if they don't want to.

spikeghost.bsky.social•30 days ago

Oh wow, i thought he had just offered up this take unprompted
Sheesh, what an ass

tedgeoghegan.bsky.social•30 days ago

I agree they don’t have to chime in at all. I was just curious if he would is all.

he did! he came out feverously in support of the LGBT community

I still regret not screen shotting Caroline Williams "you people"ing me
