Circus of Horrors Streaming.
Movie Title: Circus of Horrors Circus of Horrors is available for streaming or downloading. |
First off, the film transfer on this DVD is nothing short of stunning. The picture is presented in widescreen and the colors are very comparable to the same studio’s production of “Peeping Tom”. Sound transfer is fine, and there is even a French language soundtrack available.
“Circus of Horrors” is quite enjoyable, but it is a tiny bit of a cheat. There are not nearly as many “horrors” as one might expect. However, a final 15-minute sequence is worth the price of admission. The acting is generally good among the principles, with the lead, Anton Diffring, a standout. He plays just the right amount of crazed obsession to keep it entertaining.
Reizenstein’s musical score is more than adequate and often very good. As for the featured song, “Look for a Star”–it’s true, you will hum it to yourself for days afterward.
Extras are absolutely top-drawer: trailers, tv spots, posters, lobby cards etc, excerpts from a comic-book version of the film, and, most surprising, a reproduction of the song-sheet for the song! There is also a nicely done biography/filmography for Diffring.
Menus are extremely well-done, animated and accompanied by music from the film.
And, if all this is not enough, there is an Easter Egg. Go to the ‘Extras’ menu, sit back, and you will hear “Look for a Star” in a complete, uninterrupted performance.
A must-have for 1950s and 60s horror aficionados.
Anton Diffring plays a plastic surgeon on the run from the law for some unethical practices which led to patient disfigurement. He retreats to the continent (read that France) where he stops on the roadside and sees a little girl with scars. He visits the girls father, a circus owner and says he can help the girl, which he does. However, in order to use the circus as a cover, he kills the father (using an escaped bear) and sets up the circus as his own. He recruits scarred but otherwise beauteous fems for his circus, does miraculous surgery and they perform for him in the circus. However, jealousy rears its ugly head and Diffring must eliminate various women by circus accidents. Finally, the police become suspicious as there are just too many accidents to be coincidences and a women disfigured in England catches up to Diffring and the police arrive to pressure the doctor into a thrilling climax and fitting end. Listen for Gary Miles’ song, “Look for a Star” which was released as a single in the US and did make the charts.
