31 Days of Horror Day 19 Sideshow

Sideshow
2000
Echo Bridge 20 pack DVD

This is a Full Moon film I had never heard of. But the premise sounded interesting. I am just old enough to barely remember when the county fair would have a sideshow.

A group of 5 teens.2 ladies and 3 guys,goto the local carnival.One of the guys is in a wheelchair and huge fan of sideshows. But of course everything is not as it seems.

Phil Fondacarlo plays the pitch man and is great as always.I was kind of surprised at how good this was. By 2000 Full Moon wasn't doing well. So the budget had to be pretty low. But the sets,costumes and FX work are really good.

Another neat thing about the film is that this is the only Full Moon film I know of that Fred Olen Ray directed. I was kind of surprised when I saw his name in the closing credits. The pack this came in is easy to find for $5 and it is worth that for this film by it self.

Sideshow gets a B+.
