Cinema Head Cheese Reviews Carnies

October 8th, 2010

“Carnies is an interesting film. I doubt that anyone can relate to this, but it is very, very reminiscent of Ed Wood’s work once his film career had ended. Wood wound up writing a large amount of novels and a good deal of these dealt with horror as set in the world of the traveling carnival. Clowns, sideshows, barkers… all of them were wrapped up in Wood’s dark tales (usually murdered and a poor transvestite was the patsy, but that is classic Ed Wood). Fifty years later, that unique blend of old-school carnival and slick, modern horror is revived in writer/director Brian Corder’s Carnies.” - David Hayes

Apple iTunes Movie Trailers is Buzzing With Carnies

September 17th, 2010

“Having sawdust in the blood is a carny compliment, but blood in the sawdust is another story. In 1936, during The Great Depression, a traveling sideshow sets up shop to mystify yet another dustbowl town with freaks and illusions. When a sinister force begins taking the carnies’ lives one-by-one, Detective Ellison (Reggie Bannister) is put on the case. Is it the cryptic carnival owner, Helen (Denise Gosset)? What about the strong man, Virgil (Chris Staviski)? Or how about Ratty, the snake handler (Doug Jones) and his friend William, the sword swallower (David Markham of ‘Carnivale’)? Step right up folks, step right up. The show is about to begin.” - Admin
