Browning locked in some of horror cinema's most indelible images.
September 24, 2007
If the heart of the horror movie is the annihilating Other, the Other has never appeared with more vividness, teasing sympathy, and terror than in this 1932 film by Tod Browning.

Undoubtedly flawed, Freaks is also admirably bonkers and quite simply unforgettable.

Browning's sympathies are clear; if there are "freaks" on display here, they are not the versatile performers to whom the title seems to allude.
June 08, 2015
One of the most powerful films ever made about the need for humanity and solidarity in the face of cruelty and oppression.
October 28, 2013
A masterpiece of the horror mold, and one that warrants a loyal audience.
March 26, 2009
Freaks is sumptuously produced, admirably directed, and no cost was spared. But Metro failed to realize that even with a different sort of offering the story still is important.

...despite its gruesome conclusion, the movie seems to do everything in its power to create community.
September 28, 2015
[Boasts] some of the most terrifying scenes ever consigned to film.
June 18, 2015
With strong performances and a surprising tenderness, Freaks more than deserves its towering reputation.
