Mothergamer (1661 KP) created a post

Sep 6, 2026  
This is not my usual content. Recently I got the news that my dear friend and talented artist Tifa passed in her sleep. It was sudden and unexpected. Tifa had been sick and in pain for a long time and I tell myself that my friend is no longer in pain, but I am missing her terribly along with the many people who loved and cherished her. I wrote this today because I wanted to share how special my friend was. https://mg28-mothergamer.blogspot.com/2026/09/remembering-my-friend-tifa.html

Tod Browning's notorious horror movie remains problematic and uncomfortable to watch nearly a century on from its release. The plot is much more the stuff of a melodrama than a traditional horror movie: a vain and greedy trapeze artist and her lover plot to murder a gullible man enamoured of her for his fortune. What makes the film so queasily memorable is the fact that many of the characters are sideshow 'freaks' of different kinds.

Severely hampered by the fact that many of the cast aren't professional actors, and it shows; also by the fact that several of them don't have English as a first language (some of the dialogue is so heavily accented to be unintelligible). The existing version of the film is fairly thin on plot, too. There is strange tension between the script, which takes pains to make clear that the deformed characters are people, not monsters, and the way that the camera voyeuristically dwells on their physical abnormalities - it's there again in the climax, where the trapeze artist clearly deserves some kind of retribution, but the sequence of the 'freaks' closing in on her is deeply disturbing. A uniquely unsettling movie, and perhaps that's for the best.
