the fact that this movie be a rip off of tod brown freak should not be construe a a reason to see it . the photography and act be bottom drawer and the direction be listless and unimaginative and and writing be rarely sly ( or at least it hard to get any good dialogue out of these actor mouth ) . there isn not even all that much exploitation footage here . what be kind of interesting be the picture of carnival life in the 60 ( a period of decline for that art form ) it provide . roustabout and geek and carneys and all be present with some sort of versimilitude . with a strong lead actress and a more competent cast or director and this film could at least have be a memorable shock fest . instead and it ultimately forgettable .
