Rated 1 out of 5 Yawn. Slow and talky; no thrills, no chills. For something better or at least more fun in the genre, go with the original, Freaks, or try Freaked, or Mutations (a.k.a. The Freakmaker). Rated 1 out of 5 Yawn. Slow and talky; no chills, no thrills. For better and/or at least more interesting efforts in the genre, go with the original, Freaks, or try Freaked, or Mutations (a.k.a. The Freakmaster). Rated 2 out of 5 A Freakish Journey I gave this film a rating of two out of five stars. I think the idea of a circus sideshow, complete with grotesque freaks is a terribly wonderful idea. Although there are fewer and fewer traveling circus’’ displaying freaks these days, the topic is wide open for horror interpretations. I enjoyed a couple of the characters, but thought that overall this film could have been given a little more life with better writing and directing. This film should have had a grittier atmosphere and more gore. For a superior film about traveling circuses, I would recommend Something Wicked This Way Comes. I gave this film two stars out out five, although ti was somewhat closer too a 1.5 on a five star scale. If you can rent it, as for buying it...thats up to you.
