Freaks (1932)

Shocking


Freaks is a shocking film. What makes this film so shocking is the fact that these are REAL people with REAL disabilities. You have to keep in mind when watching this film these people were real circus acts before they turned into actors for the film.

As far as the story goes, it's fairly interesting. It's not a great story but it is somehow interesting - I would say due to the actors. If this movie was made with average actors then the film would not be nearly as interesting to watch (if I'm explaining it right).

Horror?  I think the real horror lies in living the way the actors in the film had to live. The ending provides extra shock and horror that is unimaginable.

This is a movie you would have to see to get the full understanding of how shocking it is... even by today's movie standards.

7/10
