In Reply to: Sorry Auph, but "Freaks" is NOT a horror movie: it´s really tender and moving, while a bit "freaky" in its characters... posted by orejones on July 25, 2005 at 09:20:44:
...it's the end scene that's horrific - everything builds up to that.
What makes it horrific is that we sympathize with the freaks throughout the film and are then asked to condone the end scene, on their behalf.
