A B-film masterpiece, a legendary midnight movie, an inspiration for the Ramones, a surprisingly sensitive depiction of the extreme outsiders of society, FREAKS is so many things. When a sideshow dwarf is seduced by a beautiful trapeze artist who only covets his inheritance and prefers the company of the strongman, tragic events are set in motion.

“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.” – Mark Kermode, Observer (UK)
