Слоган фильма:
If it's terror what you want, it's terror what you'll have
Всегда почему-то думал, что в предложениях такого рода what = the thing that, но у нас уже есть thing(terror), поэтому на мой взгляд здесь what не уместно и должно быть that?
what instead of that

Cleft sentences двух типов.
If what you want is terror, = If it's terror what you want; what you'll have is terror = it's terror what you'll have.
И просто эмфатический cleft sentence:Swan-4, 274 Cleft sentences: What I need is a rest.
1 What I need is ...
In this kind of cleft sentence, the words to be emphasised are connected to a what-clause (or similar structure) by is/was.
A rest is what I need.
A motorbike is what Emily kept in the garden shed.
The words to be emphasised are often put last: this gives them even more force.
What I need is a rest.
What Emily kept in the garden shed was a motorbike.
This structure can be used to emphasise a complement.
The secretary is what Jake is, actually, (or Actually, what Jake is is the secretary.)
If you want terror, = If it is terror that you want; you'll have terror = it is terror that you'll have.

I think it could be both : what/that
Consider the question:
-What is (it) that you want?
-I want terror.
-If it's terror that you want ..
However, if the question is
-What do you want ?
-I want terror
-if it's terror what you want ..
similar to the acronym WYSIWYG: what you see is what you get

Это нестандартный случай употреления. C Ети и туристом здесь не согласен. Во-первых, у Свона другие примеры. Они нормальные и стандартные. Во-вторых, как я уже сказал, упоребление нестантартное, поэтому that было бы здесь правильным с точки зрения стандартной грамматики.
If it's terror that you want, it's terror that you'll have - ok
If what you want is terror, terror is what you'll get - ok
If it's terror what you want, it's terror what you'll have - non-standard
Поэтомуwhat
5. not standard
which, who, or that, when used as relative pronouns
this is the man what I saw in the park yesterday

If it's terror that you want, it's terror that you'll have - ok
If what you want is terror, terror is what you'll get - ok
If it's terror what you want, it's terror what you'll have - non-standard

Роман Молти,
It may very well be a non-standard usage
but it hardly matters in this case.
This is a slogan and a slogan must be catchy above all.
It's a marketing language. There are no rules )

tourist, I'm not a grammar stickler, so if native speaker want to use "what" instead of "that' then more power to them. I just thought it appropriate to point out that this use of "what" is still considered non-standard.

Точно ведь.Роман Молти пишет: ↑16 мар 2019, 22:08 Во-первых, у Свона другие примеры. Они нормальные и стандартные.
Это звучит нестандартно ошибкой, а пример ТС почему-то так не царапает.
Наверное, потому что мимикрирует под:
If that's what you want, отсюда: If terror is what you want.
А когда terror из дополнения становится комплементом, это звучит избыточно:
If 1)it's terror 2)what you want, ...
Надо еще покумекать...
