What a Geek!

One thing I can say about this movie; it delves into the twisted psyche of a carnival performer like no movie since "Sante Sangre". Mid-grade slasher pic is elevated to another level by some instances of really mediocre acting and interiors that look like your living room. HOWEVER, the truly SATANIC performance by the Geek in question will blow you away. This guy actually seems to enjoy his job with finger-lickin' relish. Outside the realm of a normal slasher flick, and well worth seeing if you are into this sort of thing. Cockadoodle dooooo!
