Freaks

"One of us. One of us." Either you side with the titular freaks or suffer the consequences. That seems to be the message of Freaks, or maybe it is simply about being kind to those who are different. Either way, I'll side with the freaks, because they can kick ass. This 1932 cult classic, classified a horror film, but it is everything but. Save for the final 5 minutes, you would have a tragic love story of a freak who fell for a "normal" woman (normal meaning without disability. But she is still quite the bitch). When the film switches genres, it first transforms into murder/revenge flick, pitching two normals against a circus full of freaks. Tod Browning does a decent job behind the camera and the freaks are great. See it for its cult status, but don't get your hopes up for a horror movie. Or a spectacular one.
