Freaks

Drama, Horror

A circus' beautiful trapeze artist agrees to marry the leader of side-show performers, but his deformed friends discover she is only marrying him for his inheritance.


The critical consensus

Both oddly charming, horrific and crude in parts.

****(*)Kim Newman, Empire Online, 08/06/2015

Tod Browning’s bizarre black comedy about a band of circus performers is a disturbing curio of old Hollywood that has lost none of its power to unsettle.

*****Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 11/06/2015

If there are ‘freaks’ on display, they are not the versatile performers to whom this 1932 movie’s title appears to allude.
