Freaks is one of those unique films which not only presents us with a
world we've never seen before, but that didn't make up the world. What
is shown on screen is the now abstract Freak Show containing the
misfits, malforms and oddities of society. This film looks behind the
curtain at those actual characters.
The freaks in the film are, obviously, an oddball lot. My personal
favourite had to be the guy with no arms and no legs. Just a head on a
torso. For me the most amazing and memorable scene is when he "single
handedly" lights a cigarette.
