Synopsis

This pre-Code movie, shocking for it's time, still pushes the edge of filmmaking with it's riveting tale of love and betrayal between a "normal" circus performer and the wealthy carnival midget whom she marries for money and then betrays. Actual freak-show performers were cast to play many of the film's roles.

  1. Great horror classic from early 30's

    06 December 2008
    "Freaks" is one of the most controversial horror films from the 30's, mainly because director Tod Browning hired as the actors real sideshow freaks. It does have a rather unsettling effect, but I think that really does work for the film. Browning builds up a great amount of suspense with the good use of locations, story and lots of atmosphere. The ending, where we see freaks crawling in the mud, is pretty creepy. Anyway check this one out-it's worth watching.
