Terrifier

As a short horror film, Terrifier (2011) primarily elicits strong negative emotional responses. Audience reactions are dominated by **Fear**, stemming from the relentless and brutal nature of Art the Clown and the immediate threat to the protagonist. This is closely followed by intense **Anxiety**, as viewers are kept on edge, anticipating the next violent act. The film's graphic content and the antagonist's sadistic behavior lead to significant feelings of **Disturbing** and **Disgust**. **Surprise** is also a key emotion, driven by sudden, shocking moments of violence. While other emotions are present at minimal levels due to the requirement, the core experience is one of dread and visceral horror.
