โ€ข
A former surgeon with a dark past directs a circus in which former criminals wanted by the police perform; he has changed their facial features with plastic surgery. The doctor blackmails his patients and exploits them in his circus; those who rebel are eliminated. The series of deaths attracts the attention of the police. A typical English product; a horror film diligently directed, well acted but which becomes cloying, boring, and not at all scary. Diligently made but not engaging.
