    Horror Movie #10/101

    Freaks is one of my favorite horror films from the 30s. The story that mainly revolves around the theme of inner beauty is simple but effective. All the "freaks" that appear in the film are authentic, no special effects were used for their disabilities and it gives the film a very unique feel to it. Even though there are some intense horror scenes (namely the VERY good ending) I'd say that the best parts of the film are when the sideshow "freaks" are just living their lives, dealing with everyday chores around the circus and handling their private matters. Of note is Olga Baclanova and her performance as the despicable Cleopatra, you just want to punch her in the face right until the ending. I really wish I could see the original version though, the film was heavily edited before release and the original version was forever lost. Freaks is a unique film that deserve its status as a classic, it is just that damn good!
