Tod Browning's Freaks

[iamragmar]

Freaks is coming out on DVD in a couple of weeks and there is several different endings, how long has this been away from the public and has it been on video before?

Most important: it's a great fucking movie and shouldn't be missed. Yes, it's been available here in the USA, but I know that's not the case everywhere, so don't miss this, a true milestone in horror filmmaking.

I read a few reviews about Freaks and heard that it was ment to be really gruesome...is this true?

wouldn't say gruesome.........more disturbing than gruesome

Oh good, my type of movie

I love this movie. I found it to be deeply disturbing the first time I watched it. But I have recommended it to several friends and only one really liked it. I think many people find it to be in poor taste.

But I agree it shouldn't be missed; love it or hate it, it is very effective. I need to remember to get me a copy on DVD.

Very cool movie.... they played a really nice restored print at a film festival I went to a couple of years ago. Might have to check this out again.

The truly weird thing about this film is that they used "real" freaks.
