If you loved The Unknown, try Freaks

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Tod Browning, and they sit in Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Unknown, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Freaks is

A dusty big top at sunset, calliope music fading. A beautiful trapeze artist marries the leader of the side-show performers, a troupe of pinheads and dwarfs watching with curiosity. Browning's pre-code subversion still lands with unsettling force.
