Warning: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Terrifier 3 and the Terrifier 2 Director’s Commentary!
InTerrifier 3, Sienna’s wounds heal when she’s away from her sword, a divergence from the previous movie that provides hints about the character and her mystical weapon. TheTerrifierand Art the Clown movie franchisestarted with a series of short films that foreshadowed the feature films’ transition from a traditional gory slasher movie to a supernatural slasher horror. WhileArt the Clown starts out as a human serial killer, he becomes a demon in the second film, making him much less stoppable.
Luckily,Terrifier 2introduces the one person who might be able to take him down – a young woman named Sienna Shaw. While she seems like any ordinary teenager when first introduced, she possesses the gumption and resilience to go up against the immortal clown. Plus, at theend ofTerrifier 2,the movie reveals that her sword can heal her and bring her back to life. It’s not surprising when Art the Clown comes after her again inTerrifier 3; however, the show twists the existing lore by having Sienna heal without the sword, a peculiar event with two explanations.
Sienna’s Cuts Coming From The Sword Explains Her Healing
At theend ofTerrifier 3, Sienna uses her sword to save her cousin Gabby from falling through a hole in the ground that leads to Hell. Sienna grabs the blade part of the sword, creating huge gashes in her palms. After accidentally dropping Gabby and the sword, her wounds still heal. This is a massive change fromTerrifier 2, where Sienna’s injuries can heal, but only when she’s holding the sword.
Terrifier 3 Already Told You It’s Lying About That Big Character Death
Terrifier 3 saw many people die horrible deaths at the hands of Art the Clown and Vicky, but one of the major character deaths seems to be a trick.
Ultimately, the reason she still heals without her weapon is that it’s the thing that caused the gashes.The sword doesn’t have the ability to permanently injure Siennabecause she’s seemingly supernaturally attached to the sword, even when they’re apart.
Does Sienna Have Regenerative Healing Powers In Terrifier Now?
Rather than having regenerative powers imbued in her body, it appears that Sienna’s healing abilities come exclusively from her sword, since injuries not caused by the sword aren’t healed at the end of Terrifier 3. However,there’s another possible explanation for what happened that can be extrapolated from Damian Leone’s statements in theTerrifier 2Director’s Commentary,which consists of significant spoilers for the overall story.
She might have limited regenerative healing powers by the end of theTerrifier 3, considering she can now heal without the sword in her hands.
In the Blu-ray’s extra content, Leone confirms that the sword was ordinary until the nightmare fire baptized it, turning it supernatural. The director also said the sword can’t harm Sienna since it is her weapon. Additionally, he states thatSienna changed after being killed inTerrifier 2, turning immortal and absorbing some of the magic.Combining these three factors, it’s possible that every interaction with Art the Clown and the sword has increasedSienna’s magical abilities. She might have limited regenerative healing powers by the end of theTerrifier 3, considering she can now heal without the sword in her hands.
