Summary: Great thriller...all of the sudden ending!
Review: A well-done horror flick, kind of in the same vain as The Funhouse (1981). The ending was kind of unexpected, I won't give away the plot... I'm still trying to tie it in with the ending of the film. The most attractive person in the film is in a wheelchair...thats a different twist, not expected. Well- done sets and costumes, great sideshow acts. It has the guy from Ghoulies 2 in it...he's always a crowd pleaser. Great flick!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good film deserves more of a chance
Review: I do not understand all the negative reviews this film is getting. Sure, it is by no means one of the greatest films ever made, but it does have some redeeming qualities. As others have noted, Phil Fondacaro's performance is good. Another performance that shouldn't be overlooked is that of Scott Clark, who played Grant, the boy in the wheelchair. I really identified with the character he played, perhaps because I am also in a wheelchair. This movie deserves your look.

Summary: A Freakish Journey
Review: I gave this film a rating of two out of five stars. I think the idea of a circus sideshow, complete with grotesque freaks is a terribly wonderful idea. Although there are fewer and fewer traveling circus' displaying freaks these days, the topic is wide open for horror interpretations. I enjoyed a couple of the characters, but thought that overall this film could have been given a little more life with better writing and directing. This film should have had a grittier atmosphere and more gore. For a superior film about traveling circuses, I would recommend Something Wicked This Way Comes. I gave this film two stars out out five, although ti was somewhat closer too a 1.5 on a five star scale. If you can rent it, as for buying it...thats up to you.

Summary: terrible but enjoyable
Review: Personally, I agree with the other reviewers about this movie being terrible and actually very frustrating to watch. But if you're like me, and you love horribly made, but entertaining films, this ones for you. I'm sorry to say I had a great time watching this, basically because I love seeing bad films and having a great time laughing at them. But if you want to see a good horror film, or some good acting, please, please, do not watch this. You will be very disapointed. I just have to note I don't know where in the hell Full Moon finds these actors.

Summary: Yawn.
Review: Slow and talky; no chills, no thrills. For better and/or at least more interesting efforts in the genre, go with the original, Freaks, or try Freaked, or Mutations (a.k.a. The Freakmaster).

Summary: Yuck! Sorry for that 1 star which is a required field...
Review: Watching this movie is such a waste of time. What a waste of energy, resources and creativity this might have been for those involved in the production of such a terrible film. The cover of the DVD is quite attractive, yet the movie itself is a let-down and the greatest disappointment I've experienced as a movie buff. I agree with the other reviewer that the only worthwhile performance is that of Dr. Graves' and all the actors seemed to have been chosen from amateur bystanders, who mostly were asked to memorize their dialogues, or just be living props! If you plan to while away and waste some of your time, then, you can think of other more creative and more entertaining ways than "SideShow" which is more like a home-movie or an extended trailer of film students on probation for a passing mark.
