However, with a much larger budget and healthy amount of plot-development thrown in, Terrifier 2 surpassed its predecessor and turned Art the Clown into the face of a franchise.
Donnie Darko(2001) [Horror Drama] - Donnie Darko is equally a critique of the manufactured perfection chased by suburbanites as it is a chilling examination of the effects of time-travel.
