We all know the classics of the horror movie genre — The Exorcist, Friday The 13th, Halloween. There’s a new movie hitting theatres and pushing the boundaries of gore and violence on screen.
Terrifier 2 has made headlines for causing audience members to throw up, but it has still managed to make more than $10 million at the box office.
Reporter Anne-Marie Iemmolo wanted to know why. She set out to learn how far directors will go and just how much fans can endure.
