Quick Hit

Circus of Horrors has a clean hook and atmosphere that covers the seams, which keeps it comfortably above water. More hit than miss, and that counts.

Full Take

This one swings hard at horror and only sometimes connects. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s enough to push it into SOLID.
