I never get over how weird festivals are. Because they're filled with movies nobody's seen, the range of responses tend to be starker. We're all just responding in unfiltered ways, as opposed to reacting off other people's responses.
I bring this up because I saw Freaks before Toronto. I spoke to no one before writing my pan. Much to my surprise, though, some people really like this mediocre amalgam of genre cliches. Go figure. My review is up at Screen International.
