I wouldn't consider it a horror movie. I would consider it a revenge movie. Yes, it does show the abnormalities that can happen to the human body, but horror?

I dunno, I'd say it's horror, but not from the abnormalities it shows, but from the way it depicts the darker side of human nature (ie- the vengeful side) after all, the majority of (good) horror is about the darkest recesses of the human psyche, rather than just showing guts and gore? I always think that way, any way...

however, I'm not entirely certain whether it's cleo who's the cause of the horror because of her greed and disgusting scheming, or whether it's the shocking way the freaks take their revenge! :confused:

I've never seen it , but it is a favorite of my brother's 'Andyk'...........I reall wish I could find it, or they would at least put in on tv again. Used to put many horrors on late night, now hardly ever......guess everyone is too much into reality shows. :rolleyes:

totally agree with

[gothicvamp1888]

just watche the movie and totally enjoyed it

[gothicvamp1888]

it is a classic, if u look past the black and white (altho in my opinion B+W films kick ass, especially horrors) and look within the story, u find a true tale of terror, made in 1932 and runs for 64 mins, definately worth checking out.

Actually banned for quite some time in this country, the UK, for whatever reason I'm not quite sure.
The director grew up on the side-show circuit and was rumoured to have had his penis cut off in a car accident, although it was never proven if that was true or not. If I remember correctly his name was Tod Browning and if you like his films then you should read up on his life story because that's just as interesting. The guy is a legend.

I personally love this movie. Although made in the 30s, it feels like a horror comic like Tales From the Crypt because of the "ironic punishment" deal.
