It might give up the ending quite soon, but the structure and the substance of the film really pays off, making this possibly Tod Browning's…

Review of Freaks (1932)

By Ewc O (186) on 20 Feb 2016

Colorfully bizarre, thoroughly original, well acted, and one of the most unnerving finales in movie history. Freaks hits all the marks…

Review of Freaks (1932)

By Harry W (1,900) on 05 Apr 2015

Vaguely tongue-in-cheek, Freaks is good but slightly tiresome in its over-the-top satirical view of the horror genre…

Review of Freaks (1932)

By Graham L (333) on 28 Nov 2014

This movie fits snugly into quite a few spots....it's dramatic, it's funny, it's charming, it's touching, but the feeling that it's horrifying…

Review of Freaks (1932)

By Bill S (2,971) on 24 Aug 2015

I enjoyed seeing the freaks themselves but I feel the story is a little simplistic for modern times…

Review of Freaks (1932)

By Daniel G (1,520) on 20 Oct 2017

75%. Reviews are misleading. Not terrifying. More an interesting drama, and groundbreaking for it's time. Not a horror movie…
