Freaks (1932)



RAW, POWERFULL, FRIGHTENING, ENTHRALLING, AMAZING! [MILD SPOILER ALERT!]
A film that was released at the right time for the wrong Age of people. Everybody will be able to relate to the characters in this film. One very unique dynamic is the fact that they have real 'freaks', if you will, playing themselves along with acting. The girls that are connected by the hips[Daisy and Violet Hilton(In no particular order ;))] share a nervous system; that is very interesting. When Violet(or was it Daisy?) kisses the shady looking magician(aka her fiancée) her other half reacts to the surge of euphoric chemicals released into their body. There is a man with no arms and no legs who lights up a match and lights his cigarette using only his head. These truly amazing people/characters are interesting enough to watch with no plot, but throw in a well written script and engaging story and you have a real unique film. One of a kind! There is an underlying theme of sex lust and love throughout the entire feature. You will love some characters AND hate some characters. So raw and daring.

10/10 (Only for being one of a kind, a film like this will never be made again.)

VERDICT- ADD IT TO YOUR QUEUE!
