Mini-Review: Stop watching about four minutes before the end, and it's a brilliant little thriller. Last four minutes are very tacked on, like test screenings demanded the resolution be happier.

Mini-Review: An odd case of a film that's both ahead of its time - just showing most of the cast on screen must have been shocking in '32, especially while portraying the "freaks" in a positive light - while completely and uncomfortably of its time - they're still called freaks, and that ending, while memorable, keeps them frightening. But, in all honesty the biggest problem is the actress who plays Frida, who just plain isn't very good, and has a substantial and important role that needs her to be.

Mini-Review: Goes so over the top it becomes unintentionally hilarious - the amputee Ashton scenes are almost parodying a Lifetime movie - but I'm not sure it's badly made. Just kind of stupid. Note: The director's cut ending is awe inspiring in how misguided it is.
