(mild spoiler warning) I watched this movie on a whim. After seeing the commercials, I was expecting a campy werewolf movie but was pleasantly surprised to discover something else and much better. This is a movie about people who don't fit in and how they try to cope with it. Interlaced with this is a good mystery/horror story set in the company of a traveling freak show. It leaves you guessing right up until the end. While the movie suffers from some plots holes, sometimes thin dialogue and a few cliches, it overcomes these with good acting and a good story. The movie has good performances all around, especially Tim Curry, who plays side show host that oozes camp on stage but is the protective father figure off stage. Victoria Sanchez is excellent in the title role along with Dov Tiefenbach as the town geek who tries to help her.
