🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gothic tragedy from the contrast between the garish circus world and the fog-drenched Parisian backstreets. It relies on practical transformation effects and a mournful score to explore the beast within.

What lingers after the credits is a poignant sense of loneliness, a reminder that the most dangerous monsters are often the most pitiable. A melancholic relic of British horror. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Freddie Francis
