This movie reminds me of classic Hammer horror, but it starts movement away from the stereotypes of classic monsters. A surgeon is running from the authorities from using controversial procedures that caused permanent damage, finding refuge in a failing circus. The rest of the film depicts this doctor's fixation and obsession with beauty and the length that he will go for this. Circus of Horrors relies more on psychological tension to depict the monstrosity of human kind when there are not parties willing to keep us in check.
