Freak culture returns to the public eye as ringmaster Jim Rose introduces a whole host of the most compellingly watchful human oddities since Lobster Boy and the Bearded Lady. Of course quite a bit has changed since those long-gone days of quick-witted carnival barkers and shady sideshow tents, and with such attractions as men who can withstand hundreds of needles piercing their skin, bile drinking, and weight-lifting of the most unnatural variety, this release is certain to have more squeamish viewers running for the door. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
