Remake


I would love it, if they made a decent remake of this.

One thing I generally loved about the film was using real people with disabilities, not just using make up etc. I could see a real beauty in them. If they do it again I would hope they would use real people again. I didn't see them as "Freaks", I was impressed by their strength to overcome the issues they are faced. My brother who watched it with me was surprised at some of the things different ones could do and didn't know how they pulled it off. I told him humans are amazing creatures that can adapt, and honestly on that note so can many animals. I hope no one took that as I was referring to the so called freaks as creatures, I meant all mankind in that statement.

Oh the ending. I didn't see them as monsters at all. I loved seeing them all gather for vengeance. The man with only a torso was the icing on the cake. He had no limbs but he was after the guy. He was my hero. LOL

The remake to me would be more extended with Cleo and Hercules being even more sinister. And the end with Cleo much more gruesome. Muhahaha

On a complete side note, I want to mention how much I loved the one of us song. I wouldn't be upset if they kept that in the remake. LOL The cup part would need to remain in the movie.

george miller uses a lot of disabled people in his mad max films, most modern day form of a film like this in my opinion. this one had a great story with very lively fun to watch actors. one of the actors plays master in mad max beyond thunderdome.

There are 2 *beep* remakes already.
She Freak from 1967 and Freak Show from the good folks at The Asylum (2007).

And I'd almost consider American Horror Story: Freak Show a TV show of this movie as well. It borrows from it heavily and even mentions it by name one episode.

How many "decent remakes" has Hollywood ever made ?

American Horror Story: Freak Show is a remake.

One Direction This Is Us is loosely based on this I think.
