Browning locked in some of horror cinema's most indelible images.

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.

One of the most powerful films ever made about the need for humanity and solidarity in the face of cruelty and oppression.

A masterpiece of the horror mold, and one that warrants a loyal audience.

[Boasts] some of the most terrifying scenes ever consigned to film.

With strong performances and a surprising tenderness, Freaks more than deserves its towering reputation.
