Terrifier creator and director Damien Leone has responded to yet another complaint about his horror franchise’s level of gore versus the overall storyline, and promises he will find the perfect balance in Terrifier 4.

"Man, these guys aren’t making it easy for me are they?" said Leone via Twitter. "It’s either 'Terrifier has absolutely no plot and is just mindless gore' or 'Terrifier has too much plot and not enough gore'…..Gosh darn it people I’ll find that sweet spot in T4 if it kills me!"

Leone’s comment is in response to a Twitter user writing, "The Terrifier franchise would have been better if it was less plot-based and more kill-based." This is interesting as Terrifier backlash usually consists of complaints that the movies include too much gore and focus primarily on the kill scenes rather than the overall storyline. With this recent complaint, it looks like Leone really cannot win.
