Really one of the worst movies ever :twirl:
I watched it. As expected, terrible. Some very interesting camera work. Rotten acting. Lousy script. It zipped right along, but when a movie is this bad, an hour and 20 minutes can get interminable. I laughed and laughed and laughed again.
Despite some interesting shots of the carnival (I mean other than myself, who watches this crap to look at a carnival being set up and taken down...?) the editing is dreadful. Great natural crowd setups CUT. This would have been much better as a documentary without any "actors" (all stinko).

I agree on the carnival atmosphere. You can almost smell the corn dogs and cotton candy. :smile:
It's movies like SHE FREAK that can offer a peek at a long-gone world. The footage of the carnival was almost marvelous - somebody took the camera on all the rides...! Puke. Not necessarily a good idea, but there was a lot of footage in this schlock (intended mostly as FILLER) which is wonderful.
Seriously, the "story" had me laughing at awkward attempts to "act" or "advance the story". :bouncegiggle:
I see this film was Bill McKinney's first role: always remember him from Breakheart Pass. :smile:
