2.0 out of 5 stars A Freakish Journey, September 17, 2002

By	Joshua S. Johnson (Charleston, WV United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sideshow [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I gave this film a rating of two out of five stars. I think the idea of a circus sideshow, complete with grotesque freaks is a terribly wonderful idea. Although there are fewer and fewer traveling circus' displaying freaks these days, the topic is wide open for horror interpretations. I enjoyed a couple of the characters, but thought that overall this film could have been given a little more life with better writing and directing. This film should have had a grittier atmosphere and more gore. For a superior film about traveling circuses, I would recommend Something Wicked This Way Comes. I gave this film two stars out out five, although ti was somewhat closer too a 1.5 on a five star scale. If you can rent it, as for buying it...thats up to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good film deserves more of a chance, April 14, 2001

By	W. Mulloy (California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I do not understand all the negative reviews this film is getting. Sure, it is by no means one of the greatest films ever made, but it does have some redeeming qualities. As others have noted, Phil Fondacaro's performance is good. Another performance that shouldn't be overlooked is that of Scott Clark, who played Grant, the boy in the wheelchair. I really identified with the character he played, perhaps because I am also in a wheelchair. This movie deserves your look.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yuck! Sorry for that 1 star which is a required field..., August 7, 2000

By	"sidching" (Macau, Macau Macau) - See all my reviews

Watching this movie is such a waste of time. What a waste of energy, resources and creativity this might have been for those involved in the production of such a terrible film. The cover of the DVD is quite attractive, yet the movie itself is a let-down and the greatest disappointment I've experienced as a movie buff. I agree with the other reviewer that the only worthwhile performance is that of Dr. Graves' and all the actors seemed to have been chosen from amateur bystanders, who mostly were asked to memorize their dialogues, or just be living props! If you plan to while away and waste some of your time, then, you can think of other more creative and more entertaining ways than "SideShow" which is more like a home-movie or an extended trailer of film students on probation for a passing mark.
