Actually Freaks was not the first as a horror movie

In fact, it is necessary to add a warm label to this movie. The director has been in the circus before and has enough knowledge of these disabled people. Therefore, in addition to the rainy night, the audience is more that these innocent and lovely people have a rich and happy life like normal people, and the director’s real life Care also runs through the film. Everything comes from those two "normal people" with evil thoughts (so who is more terrifying), and it is the evil behavior of the outside world that makes everything change. So the first half of the tone is bright and the final happy ending (although everyone may find it a bit abrupt, but the director's intention is first that this group is good and normal, and secondly, when this group of people who have been treated unfairly is more united than any social group.

The director uses expressionism freely, and his excellent scene scheduling pushes the plot to a climax during the rainy night, rendering the horrible atmosphere to the extreme.

Generally speaking, it can be called a model of horror movies in terms of technique and storyline.

    The story is simple. The vision of the 1930s was very different from ours. But the only consensus is that the most deformed is always human desire.

    Frankly speaking, the praise of this film mainly comes from its position in film history. There are good points, but in absolute terms, it is not worth such a high score. The roles of normal people and weird people are swapped. metaphor. The little head in the forest. Siamese sisters who married each other. Deformed people crawling towards the heroine together. The 27th story of Ryu Murakami's "Lonely Gourmet" "African Food"
