Terrifier 3’s main character death explained

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Terrifier 3!The story behind Damien Leone’s gruesome slasher franchise took another step forward with Terrifying 3And at the same time, a main character of the franchise met a timely and appropriate sad end. The terrifying Franchise is centered around Art the Clown, a twisted killer who has evolved into something much more sinister and powerful over the course of the franchise’s three movies. He met his match in Terrifying 2 With Sienna Shaw, a young girl with a connection to art, unknown to her, and the universe expands beyond simple brutal slaughter into an investigation of good versus evil.

In the last chapter, Art’s kill count continues to rise thanks to broken horror taboos and new and inventive methods of destroying the human body and. While the ultra-violence of Terrifying 3 Made some people sick, one main character dies off-screen, which is unusual for the franchise because of its emphasis on disturbing gore. The circumstances surrounding the character’s death are a bit complicated, and require some explanation because of the implications for the future of the franchise.

Jonathan dies off-screen in Terrifier 3

The audience only sees his severed (and gagged) head

While Lauren Lavera’s Sienna Shaw survives another round with Art the Clown, her brother Jonathan does not. Jonathan was at a nearby college trying to move on with his life when Sienna warned him that Art had returned to Miles County. Sienna tries her best to convince him of Art’s reappearance, even dragging some of his own past theories and evidence into her argument. She finally manages to convince him to return to their aunt and uncle’s house to be with her, and Sienna sends her uncle to pick him up.

However, Art and Vicky get to him first. The evil duo attack and capture Sienna at her aunt and uncle’s house, revealing that they killed her uncle and captured her aunt as well. Sienna is shown a skinhead in a cage being gnawed by rats, which she is told is her younger cousin, Gabby. However, when Gabby is revealed to be alive and unharmed, Vicki puts Jonathan’s glasses on the Nod’s head, implying that the head is actually her brother. Jonathan was killed off screen, which is surprising for the franchise, as his character is important.

How Jonathan’s Death Impacts Terrifying 3

It comes in the climax of the movie

Jonathan was a major figure in Sienna’s journey to overcome her traumatic encounter with Art Terrifying 2How he was the only person who understood what she was going through, and the scars she was carrying, both mentally and physically. During Art’s murderous rampage five years earlier, he brutally murdered her closest friends and her mother, so Jonathan is really all she has left that was close to her. By killing Jonathan, Art has well and truly isolated Sienna, making her easier to defeat.

As the end of Terrifying 3 Reveals, the demon that resides in Vicki’s body is determined to conquer and take over Sienna next. She is able to resist it because she has some of her own power that seems to act as a counter to Art’s debauchery. She is the warrior angel to his evil demon, and acts as his nemesis; Therefore, he is looking for her to weaken. Killing her brother, the rest of her family, and dragging Gabi to hell made Sienna truly alone, and perhaps vulnerable enough for the demon to get to her.

Is Jonathan really dead?

His off-screen death creates multiple possibilities

Given these terrifying With the franchise’s penchant for showing nearly every kill in gut-churning detail, it seems strange that a major character like Jonathan would be killed entirely off-screen. In the same lines, the severed head that Sienna shows has all the flesh peeled off, so that apart from the glasses that Vicky puts on it, there is basically no evidence that the head is really Jonathan’s. Vicky has already lied about her identity once, claiming that it was Gabi in the first place – who’s to say she’s not lying again?

It is a very real possibility (and perhaps even a strong likelihood) that Jonathan is actually not dead, or at least not dismembered like most of Art’s victims. Jonathan could be trapped somewhere himself just like Sienna was, awaiting a cruel fate once Vicki and Art finish torturing Sienna. He was also able to run away from them and they were able to take his glasses. No matter what the truth is, the fact that none of Jonathan’s murder or corpse is clearly shown casts doubt on his actual death.

How Jonathan could return in Terrifier 4

Siena’s newfound direction may include Jonathan

at the end of Terrifying 3Gabi falls into the pit that opens in the floor after Sienna hits Vicki. It is strongly ingrained that the pit is a gateway to hell itself, and Gabi may be trapped there, but perhaps not permanently. Sienna is able to heal herself after Gabby falls into the pit, and vows on the spot that she will find her lost cousin. This implies that she plans to go to whatever depths of hell she needs to save her cousin, and she knows she can do it.

Sienna is killed by Art at the end of Terrifying 2 And sent to the Clown Cafe, Art’s own personal-themed corner of hell. She knows that she has the power to not only escape hell, but to resurrect herself just as art is capable of. Her sword may have been lost to the pit of hell when Gabi fell through the gate, so Sienna has even more incentive to find her way to hell and back: the sword still seems to be the only thing that can give her a deadly edge over. Art and any of his acolytes, and it could be the key to killing him once and for all.

Was that Jonathan’s head at the end of Terrifying 3 Or if he is trapped in eternal torment as Gabi likely is, Sienna intends to travel to the domain of the demons behind Art and Vicki to save them. Each chapter of the US terrifying Franchise has expanded the imagination and lore behind Art the Clown and Sienna, so it is reasonable to expect the same from the all-but-believable next chapter of the slasher franchise. This could be the way to Jonathan’s return: Sienna could bring him back from Hell itself Terrifying 4.
