Circus of Horrors DVD, 1960Availability Delivery Returns Policy
MovieMail's ReviewRelishing the salacious new freedoms offered by the British X certificate, Hayers’ outrageous Circus of Horrors is usually linked with Michael Powell's Peeping Tom for its frank (for its time) depiction of sadism and its daring exploitation of the partially dressed female form. More unusually, both films also centre on a blond, Teutonic psychopath who happens to work in the entertainment industry. (Carl Boehm is an unhinged cameraman in Powell's film; here, the dashing Anton Diffring is a showman with a distinct difference.) Both films were released within a few months of each other in 1959/60.

DVD Details
Film DescriptionA lurid shocker from 1960 in which a plastic surgeon on the run after disfiguring the face of a patient hides out in a circus, where he transforms the faces of badly scarred women into the the beautiful stars of his show. However, the police and a nosy reporter become interested when the women who want to leave the circus begin dying in freak accidents, and they begin to suspect that the doctor is responsible.
