    FREAKS "One of us..." Ever see it?



    It's on BRAVO --

    "FREAKS tells the story of Cleopatra, a cruel and beautiful trapeze artist. At the urging of her lover, the brutish strongman Hercules, she plots to seduce and murder Hans, the wealthiest member of Madame Tetrallini's Traveling Freak Show. Hypnotized by her charms, Hans falls madly in love with Cleopatra. He and his fellow misfits are overjoyed that a so-called "normal" person would accept one of them as an equal. But when Cleopatra's treachery comes to light, the stage is set for her ultimate undoing, and what began as a lighthearted tribute to sideshow life is rapidly eclipsed by shadows and mounting dread. The final act remains one of the most unsettling sequences ever put to film... more



    "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... more

          I saw it 26 years ago or more, and I'll never forget it. I suppose it's a cult classic.

                  We watched that in our Film Analysis class when I was in college. That was about 8 or 9 years ago and I will never forget that movie. Our teacher said it had been banned for years and I can see why. That ending definitely gets your attention...

                                              This is a great movie - especially considering the times... but catch the unedited version.

                                              Freaks was banned outright originally and released in a severely truncated (pun intended) version that makes vitually no sense.

                                              It's radical because they used actual "freaks" for the movie, and hardly no makeup (except for a lon chaney sequence near the end)... and the resulting images were sometimes and still are nightmarish.

                                              Catch it for sure...

                                              The guy who made this flick, Tod Browning, was sometimes notoriouslly static in his set up but that could have been because of cumbersome cameras etc... but he sometimes took "real" stuff for atmosphere in almost documentary style - like the spiders he cut into "Dracula" (yes the Bela Lugosi version) - that invariably add to the atmosphere and creepiness of the whole thing.

                                              For the young'uns: no CG monsters, sorry.

                                              :D

                                              (don't get me started I love this stuff)
