This atmospheric dark fantasy has genuine creepy charm and visual style, but the scores tell you it's uneven—decent enough for a moody night in, but not essential viewing. Watch it if you're specifically craving vintage horror vibes and don't mind some dated pacing; otherwise, you've got better options.

Plot

In a small American town, a diabolical circus arrives, granting wishes for the townsfolk, but twisted as only the esteemed Mr. Dark can make them. Can two young boys overcome the worst the devil himself can deal out?

Director: Jack Clayton
