Despite its full runtime instead of short stories, it pays little to no attention to developing characters outside of a few basic traits such as hysteria or leadership. Violence is the center of the film and with that comes a good amount of death and ambiguous characters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These on-screen deaths do not favor female characters in the slightest. Nearly all female deaths were extremely violent and extended. Of those who managed to escape the film with ambiguous endings were either highly disfigured and disturbed, brutally attacked and left to possibly die, or all of the above. This number is much greater than male characters which only have one ambiguous ending or death combined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This, as well as the film barely passing the Bechdel test if one conversation is stretched enough, makes for a very disappointing film. This franchise is anything but feminist in its nature as the violence is nowhere near equal and makes a sharp preference for its male leads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Movie: Terrifier \u00a0 Production Year: 2016\u00a0 Tubi Provided Summary: A maniacal clown uses gruesome methods to viciously torture and murder women who have the unfortunate luck of entering&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4779,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[187],"tags":[104],"splot_meta":{"author":"Ariana Nichols","license":"","source":"Wikipedia"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4780"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
