In short i rather enjoyed it. Far superior to that last thing that came out under the Alien banner.
You are right in what you say regarding the Terrifier films. They are too long. However i can't help admiring the fact that Leone wants to give his characters mythos and back story rather than simply being one dimensional.
It's a pity the makers of the equally long Scream 6 couldn't have figured that out as, a couple of people aside, everyone in it is one dimensional and poorly fleshed out. |
I should probably add that even though I think Leone does it all a bit sloppily, I quite like the mythos aspect of Art and was quite taken with what he seemed to be trying to do in the second one in particular, which appeared to blossom out into a weirdly visionary, prog-rock album cover direction at points with wild imagery and supernatural asides. Unless I imagined it. I'll have to check it out again. In all fairness, he's injecting something vital back into things, which I definitely feel should be celebrated.
