/100
Freaks centers on grotesque bodies and the social horror of the circus world; fear, revulsion, and the threat of violence are core to the viewer experience. While it also functions as tragedy/drama about exploitation, horror is essential to its identity and not incidental.
DREADPICK SUMMARY
Best for viewers looking for a light on scares, atmosphere-heavy and low-gore horror movie.
