The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Premise:
Set during 1950's in Florida at one of the last remaining carnivals filled with human oddities. There are also other "freaks" in the town such as a murderous clown and rich psychopath and a con artist who specializes in procuring freaks for a museum.

My Take:
Well one cant say the show isn't packed full of unique and interesting characters. Sometimes I wonder isn't just weird for the sake of being weird. They way the stories are told, leaves lots of gaps if one is too think about it. Often, especially this season, it is a case of style of substance. think that is what keeps me tuning back in but I wasn't overly pleased with the season.

Rating: In the middle
