CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT (Theatrical Release USA 2009)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant
 shows top-of-the-line makeup artistry as it recreates a complete cast for a traveling freak show. The storyline is quite good. The acting runs up and down from fair to really good, but the special effects are amateurish. It’s a journey into the unusual.
