“Viewers are throwing up in theaters because of certain scenes in ‘Scary 2’. It’s one of the best horror films of the year.
I just saw Terrifier 2. It was an incredible bloody mess. The guy behind me passed out and crashed into my chair another guy left because he wasn’t feeling well I heard him say and on my way out of the movie theater I heard a guy throwing up loud and loud in the bathroom. #Terrify2 @damienleone
