Circus of Fear #28


Circus of Fear-28, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

With the master-criminal disposed of, Elliott confronts Mr. Big in front of the assembled circus company and denounces him as a blackmailer. Rather than arrest him, Elliott leaves Mr. Big for the circus folk to deal with in their own manner.



The presence of Christopher Lee in the cast has helped to foster the erroneous belief that CIRCUS OF FEAR is a horror movie. (For its American release, it was re-titled PSYCHO CIRCUS, further adding to the confusion.) As a caper flick/murder mystery, it still holds up quite well, and the scenes filmed in the circus winter quarters now have great documentary value. Long unseen in its original un-cut, wide-screen color version, it is now available through Netflix in a newly-restored edition.

MOVIE CONCLUDED!
