CARNIES. I’m afraid of ’em…are you?
If so, perhaps the new feature by Brian Corder, a flick we first wrote about in March of 2006, will help you conquer the fear when it’s finally released on DVD this October. To see if this bastard’ll prove therapeutic, check out the newly minted trailer we’ve slapped up below!
Starring Chris Staviski, Doug Jones, Reggie Bannister, David Markham, Lynn Ayala (below), Denise Gossett and Lee Perkins – CARNIES:
Follows a traveling sideshow in 1936, when the workers set up their oddities and illusions in another town hit by the dustbowl. However, this town is different, as a sinister force begins to kill off the carnies one-by-one. Detective Ellison is put on the case, looks at several of the carnies, including the mysterious carnival owner, Helen; the strong man, Virgil; and Ratty, the snake handler.
Not sure it’ll ever compute to Todd Browning’s FREAKS, possibly the most definitive and harrowing look at the legitimate world of circus side-show performers. Frightened, I tell you.
Pick up CARNIES October 12th.
Mmmm…hot carnie girls!!!
