Freaks isn't much of a movie, but it does retain an eye-popping sense of violence, brazen in its contempt for women and disregard for human life. Go to Full Review

The point of this crappy exploitation film is to be revolting, and if you're not revolted by it you might be a sicko. Go to Full Review

Scott M Jul 27 This movie was made for one reason, to shock you with death and dismemberment. I enjoyed it myself. Better than most 70's exploitation films. See more Craig W. @CJWolfe27 Jul 15 It has it shock factor but other than that the movie is horrible See more Nick O Jul 10 When I see other movies being protested by various morality groups, I always wonder if they’ve ever seen Blood Sucking Freaks. Ultra-violent, gratuitous and appalling trash pushed right over the edge of absurdity. See more 06/13/2021 This is awful. Badly acted, desperately trying for laughs, gratuitous nudity that just appals, misogynistic, unpleasant, crude. Torture porn in the worst 70s way. A man and his assistant run a show in which, under the guise of 'magic,' they torture and murder people in front of their audience. But what the punters see as a trick is actually real. And shit. See more 05/14/2020 RIP Joel M. Reed I view the film as a metaphor for low budget horror and exploitation filmmaking. If you push the limits of sex, nudity, violence and gore you're viewed as a hack and a sleaze. It's tough to get quality actors for your films and getting critics to see your vision, but ultimately Sardu is just an artist doing everything he can to put on the best show possible. See more 01/12/2020 What is not to love about this film? From the amazing acting to the top of the line special effects! If Tom Savini says he is impressed with the effects you know they are the best! See more Read all reviews
