Visually beautiful

Please wait through the opening poetry reading (which I didn't care for), and you'll be rewarded with a solid little indie horror. I've liked other Adams family movies, and this one fits into their work nicely."The Deeper You Dig" was my first one and is still on my list of favorite "must see" October movies. It has a wonderful twist at the end, and the ending of this one provides just as good of a payoff.Story = 5/10. I wasn't quite sure why the family wasn't traveling with the circus, but their horrific side trips wouldn't have happened otherwise.Cinematography = 8/10 -- it's visually stunning. I loved the look of it and paid more attention to enjoying the imagery than to the story in some parts.Recommended if you like different, weird stories.

Grotesque

Apparently, this family production has its followers, but I am not rating this as someone who has seen their other movies. They are carnival performers, set likely during the depression, and the carnival features many grotesque performers. We find them at a performance, and follow them to their next performance, racking up some gruesome body counts, all of which are photographed by their daughter, Eve. Seven is the father, and his act is cutting off his fingers, and then sewing them back on. Maggie, the mother, simply likes to kill. The stay in a barn, and the farmer comes out and invites them in. Maggie kills him, saying considering what the Germans did to Seven, he deserved it. The farmer had a Norwegian flag, and when Maggie asks if that is German. After the answer she says close enough. There are some flashback WWI scenes setting context. It is one of some horrific scenes, and some really darkness by the family. The story will be off-putting for many, and hard to take. Others will appreciate the horror of the story. There really is no remorse about the killings. This really is a movie for the fans of their family films.

I'm fascinated with everything this family puts out so.....

My patience with their projects will not be wearing thin anytime soon. I will continue to follow them until Zelda gets her big break which I see coming sooner rather than later. I think mom and dad are geniuses artistically and Zelda has undeniable talent. And Lulu forget about it I'm absolutely in love with Lulu and she's so sexy. With that said I really liked this movie and the whole carnival concept I just feel like it was a little longer than it needed to be. From the outside looking it the movie could've ended when the mom and dad were killed and could've probably had a scene or two after to show Zelda either transitioning into her own form of deranged killer or have her discover and transition into this divine good person she never knew she was but always wanted to be, accompanied with her finding her voice and heading towards normal. It could've ended either way but to me those would've been good endings that would've kept us wanting more. After the axe scene where the breathtakingly gorgeous lulu murders the mom and dad I felt a little disengaged as I was expecting that to be the end so I couldn't really get into what followed the way I was up until that buildup. Sort of like when you ride the roller coaster after that first drop it's hard to build that feeling of the first drop again because it's already passed and looking at the roller coaster from the outside you see that the first drop is the big one. Anyway enough of my metaphors. I think Zelda has something else in the making according to IMDB so I will be watching. I will also continue to follow the family until they knock it out the park which I have a feeling they will. Living around upstate New York myself I feel connected to them. I hope they continue to thrive.
