Circus of Horrors 15
Billed as “The Exploitation Picture of the Year” we can
hardly say we weren’t warned about this brilliantly lurid and horrifying
film. Dr Schuller (Anton Diffring) is a
plastic surgeon, intent on bringing beauty to those with disfigurements and he
is pretty good at it. Taking over a circus and populating it with women he has
‘fixed’ proves a success until the performers try to leave and the good Dr.
Shuller shows his true colours. The poster reads “See it and Gasp” which could describe
a circus big top or a horror film, or in this case both.
