[Todd Ray's] passion for the peculiar is praiseworthy, and erases any misgivings that the venture is exploitation at its most blatant. Still it's not that easy to watch a guy called Morgue stick a hook in his nose until it comes out his mouth.
-
Problem with Freak Show is once you meet the performers, and they have the obligatory let’s-get-acquainted party (what is this, “The Real Housewolves of Venice Beach?”), you’re already over the shock.
-
Freakshow is kind of drab compared with “Immortalized,” especially for anyone who has ever lived within driving distance of Coney Island.
-
Freakshow is the real disappointment. It has managed to do something truly extraordinary: making the strange and amazing simply boring.
-
Ray and his brood--either extended or related by blood--simply aren't interesting enough to merit more than a one-off.
