Freaks was rather dissappointing. All the tension and emotional involvement to draw the audiance into the film was hinged on the assumption that the audiance would be horrified by the players' physical and mental abnormalities. The editing had a choppy pace and the dialogue was unbelievable (this last aspect I can excuse as it WAS made shortly after the advent of sound in pictures).


Old men, fear me! You will shatter under my ruthless apathetic assault!
