Freaks

This is a Browning Classic. This movie used REAL (to be politically correct) people with disabilities and differences. :eek:

Try to make a movie like that now, with all of the politically correctness and sensitivity being shoved down our throats at every corner and they would eat the producers livers for it.

Unless I'm mistaken the movie was made circa 1924. that was eighty years ago. Calling this movie crap is like calling Lon Chaney Sr.'s Phantom of the Opera the same. That's a No-No. :D

He can say what he wants....just say it better!!!

It was made in 1932.
Think if all the horror films made since then, and all that you have seen, have never been made yet. Then some of the things in "Freaks" would be genuinely new and brave.


**SPOILERS***



I'm no big fan of the film, but it still holds a fascination and the finale, even to this day, where they crawl through the mud on a stormy night with weapons gripped in their hands or teeth, with vengeful stares on their faces, is still a prime 'horror' moment IMHO.

GREAT new DVD release as well, with some fascinating extras.

why bother to start a thread on a movie forum without articulating what moved you to be here in the first place ?

if you have passion about something - negative or otherwise, employ the old Who What Where When Why rules.

Write something that might be of interest to anyone reading it.

If something sucks - say why.

Otherwise you'll get flamed by people who would rather hear some method to the madness than just a ...

'this movie sucks'

Where i come from ... something/someone sucking can be a good thing :)

tod browning is an amazing director that brought a lot of his own life influences into the movie. when browning was growing up he was actually in a sideshow playing "the wild man". he also did many magic tricks such as being buried 6 feet below the ground in a box for 24 hours only living on malted milk balls. so, i say kudos to browning, and i give an A to "Freaks".

Hi the Psychicfetus excuse me while I Laugh LOL LOL LOl I have no idea where you heard Tod Browning did a magic trick where he was burried alive 6 ft under ground for 24 hours. LOL Not even Harry Houdini did that and he had planned on doing it before he died in 1926. Every Escapeartist and Magican who has tried to be burried alive died or failed while trying it. Who ever told you that Browning did this is full of it. I know Browning did not do this because I am a Magican and I know Magic History. If you want to talk Magicians and Horror better start with former French Magican Georges Melies who made the very 1st Horror movie in 1896 titled The Devils Castle.
