FREAKS has a couple of terrifying moments (the shot of the deformed CLEOPATRA is very shocking), but the perforances are uneven and there's no clear message. It tries to tell the audience that people with physical deformities shouldn't be treated as monsters... and then shows them committing monstrous acts of revenge. No, being treated like crap for a long time doesn't justify it; the characters could've defended themselves in other ways. Am I wrong? If I am, it's not because I'm an ignorant on the subject; it's because the movie missed had the opportunity to be a complex debate about morals and ethics, but chose to focus on the entertaining horror. I guess that's why presidential debates are often refered to as "freak shows." 2/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.

Maybe if I do it too, he'll finally take the hint, if you can even call it a hint.
What does everybody else here think?
