Comments: While not much of a horror film (at least until the end), Freaks is nonetheless an entertaining film. Actually, It just might be the oldest film I've seen (next year will be its 80th anniversary - holy shit). For only being an hour long, there's definitely some filler that details the lives of the other circus "freaks," but the finale pretty much makes up for all of that. Not too bad, considering I bought this on TCM's Classic Horror Films collection (with The Haunting, House of Wax, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) for only $5 new. Plus the film has the absolute greatest tagline of all time. How can you go wrong?
