    Stunningly bad. Then considerably worse.

    I just don't know what to say about this film, it was so bad on so many levels that at the end of the 90 minutes I feel a mixed emotion of disappointment at time wasted and a curious wonderment as to if I've actually seen what I think I've just seen.

    Now, I don't know the movie Freaks however I wasn't expecting the story line to be particularly original but it was worse than that. A clichéd storyline only marginally bolstered by an unusual setting. It may have been carried by some reasonable acting, but if the word had been defined by the standard in this movie then I think actors would still be waiting tables as it bought in a higher salary.

    The production values were awful as well, with an dire soundtrack and even more abysmal editing. I assume the sound and costume were supposed to give us a feel for the era of the film as in itself it did little to set the audience expectation. But the soundtrack did little more for me than want to smash the damn gramaphone to splinters (you'll see/hear what I mean).

    So what then made this a horror? Well it was those last few minutes. Although the concept, the hook if you will, was quite gruesome and to some extent deserves a little merit. Now the imagination can create a disturbing empathy given the right nudges and it made me feel uncomfortable so job done! Right? But still, even though the idea was great in the end it was the ham fisted execution of the concept that will probably make any self respecting movie go-er recoil in horror the most.

    What's wrong with you people?

    The movie was great. What's wrong with you people? I loved the movie! You people say you are such horror freaks but that is complete bullshit! A real horror buff would enjoy every movie that comes out no matter how corny or bloody it is. I seriously think Asylum Studios has some awesome stuff. I am a definite fan of them since I have seen Freakshow and I hope they come up with some more movies. To those who enjoyed it e-mail me at niteowel2684@yahoo.com if you are horror freaks and could send me some scary movie recommendations or maybe a website that gets people like me together. Now a movie I would recommend is Reincarnation by some Chinese Asian people or whatever. But that's not the point. It's an amazing film that will just get to you and want to see all over again.

    Ripoff remake of a classic

    This movie is a really poor retelling of Todd Browning's 1932 classic Freaks.

    It is essentially the same story of circus folks (offend one, offend all, etc) but instead of genuine freaks you get heavily tattooed people into body modification as the main freaks. Guys with stretched-out earlobes and excessive tats do not a freak make.

    The only redeeming feature I can recall is the "cannibal girl" who is notable for her beauty and is not a freak in any way other than being freakishly hot. She is the only reason I did not bestow a rating of 1 on this movie.

    The original Freaks movie was great because it had all those genuine circus freaks in it and was very controversial at the time of conservative film making.

    This flick borrows, nay, steals heavily from the 1932 Freaks and even steals it's "banned in X countries" logo from the original. The only reason this modern Freakshow movie might be banned from anywhere would be for plagiarism.

    a group of sideshow "freaks" kill a group of idiots who are stupid enough to try to rob money from them

    This isn't so much a comment as it is a warning. I've been watching horror movies since I was able to watch movies. I have them on tapes and dvds, I was originally going to school for forensic science (all this info is to explain that I DO have the stomach, strength, etc to watch horror movies/gore/etc). This movie sent me to therapy. Seriously. It effected me in such a way that I still can't sleep (it's now exactly one week after I rented this movie). I'm anxious, nervous, and the day after I watched this movie I had a panic attack and had to schedule an emergency appointment to speak with a psychiatrist. The last ten minutes of this movie are THE most disturbing ten minutes I have ever seen in absolutely any form (film, photography, written word, etc.) Just typing about it and making me think about it is making me start to get anxious.

    Oddly enough everyone I watched it with was totally unaffected by it. My boyfriend doesn't understand why he has to stay awake with me every night. But for some reason, the last scene hit me in a way no movie, no book, no image has ever effected me before. Not hostel, or the hills have eyes, or house of 1000 corpses, or Texas chainsaw massacre, or any other horror flick involving torture/gore/disturbing images.

    Maybe I'm the only one, but I can understand why it was banned.

    Banned in 43 countries is a complete lie.

    I was dumb enough to rent this movie just because it said that on the cover and I wish I had paid more attention and realized they didn't say where this quote came from. They obviously just put it on there and its completely false. There was nothing shocking, nothing exciting, and nothing entertaining in this movie. It was one of the absolute worst movies I have ever seen as there was no character development, bad acting, bad dialogue, and it moved very slowly. Do not support this movie. You will be very disappointed. For the record, I enjoy B-horror movies. This wasn't even good in that B movie, funny kind of way. Awful all around.
