I’m a sucker for circus settings and based on the rating I didn’t have much expectations but this was honestly good. Not much depth into the characters but I still had a great time. I don’t condone all the animal abuse though.

edit: My rating just made this movie go from 2.9 to 3 lol

First time watches in October 23/31

Wow I loved this one. Really great movie with an early Donald Pleasence appearance. Honestly a couple of these scenes had me gasping. Genuine suspense and shock. Pleasantly surprised and how much I enjoyed!
