This is a decent movie in terms of acting and story. What I didn't want to see was the bleak and frankly gross life of a shut-in. You can just SEE the body odor in this movie. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem for me. I can handle gross. It's just so unnecessary, though. If you want to see how to do the "outcast living in a hostile society," watch They Live. The overall tone was angry and depressing, too. Again, I can normally handle angry and depressing, it just didn't work for me here.
Bleak, gross, angry, and depressing. That's how I'd sum up Freaks. It's a decent movie, but I did not enjoy watching it.
