Actually Freaks was not the first as a horror movie

In fact, it is necessary to add a warm label to this movie. The director has been in the circus before and has enough knowledge of these disabled people. Therefore, in addition to the rainy night, the audience is more that these innocent and lovely people have a rich and happy life like normal people, and the director’s real life Care also runs through the film. Everything comes from those two "normal people" with evil thoughts (so who is more terrifying), and it is the evil behavior of the outside world that makes everything change. So the first half of the tone is bright and the final happy ending (although everyone may find it a bit abrupt, but the director's intention is first that this group is good and normal, and secondly, when this group of people who have been treated unfairly is more united than any social group.

The director uses expressionism freely, and his excellent scene scheduling pushes the plot to a climax during the rainy night, rendering the horrible atmosphere to the extreme.

Generally speaking, it can be called a model of horror movies in terms of technique and storyline.

    The originator of the Cult movie with "playing abuse"! Bye bye! ! ! Unconscious desire for absolute form or conscious boredom of relative form!

    Classics!! Not sure I want to categorize it as a horror film though.

Freaks quotes

  • Cleopatra: OOH! HOLY JUMPING CHRISTMAS!

  • Carnival Barker: We didn't lie to you folks. We told you we had living, breathing, monstrosities. You laughed at them, shuddered at them. And, yet, but for the accident of birth, you might be one as they are. They did not ask to be brought into the world. But, into the world they came. Their code is a law unto themselves: offend one and you offend them all.
