Twistin 14th Oct 2015		Rated 6/10 Without Sam Fuller's name attached, most modern viewers would dismiss the film for what it is, a clumsy and often ham-fisted attempt at a thriller with a social conscience. That last part is the problem because a number of social issues are awkwardly shoved into the thin storyline, like abandoned Twilight Zone script fragments were dug from the trash bin, then over-emphasized in case the audience is too stupid to get it. From time to time, we even return to the plot. Ultimately, the plot -- which is a journalistic investigation - scarcely even matters and we gaze like voyeurs at the freaks or listen to strategically molded bits of communism sympathizing, racism stereotypes and oddly, an attack on ambition. It's not a complete loss and is technically solid, often quite impressive in style and technique. Fairly bold presentation for its time, but severely flawed as a film. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
