3/5 Campy (Low Budget) Freak Fest
  by Eddie Quist (The Colony)
"Side Sho" tells the story of a family (with a friend) traveling to a softball tourmament somewhere in Florida. The father is attempting to write a coffee-table book about the roadside freak shows of yester-year, and in turn, goes to an area that no-one would ever venture unless you happen to be in a Horror movie... That's basically it.
Directed by Michael D'Anna, "Side Sho" (spelled this way because the "W" fell off the crumbling sign) does not tread any new ground, but instead thrives on the campiness of B-Movies past.
The acting lacks throughout, but the cinematography looks great and showcases an authentic view of the southern backroads.
"Side Sho" is a circus mutant freak film at heart, and nothing more. Production values appear high for such a low budget, but the story just lacks any real originality...
Perfect for a campy-fun evening's rental

1/5 Side Blows
  by Aaron Merkel (Kutztown, PA USA)
This is just another quickly-made, low-budget, quirky, cheesy horror film. Take it for what it is, and have a few laughs while watching.
The reviews that give this movie 5 stars are quite hilarious because this movie is in no way a five star movie.

Enjoy.

1/5 THEM GALS IS FOR BREEDIN'
  by Robert F. Powers (Quincy, Ma USA)
A family on a trip take a time-out to visit a side show because Dad needs more photos for his coffee table book. The W is missing on the sign so they arrive at the side sho run by a creepy one-eyed barker who claims to be ancient but a close-up shows the actor playing the part is probably in his late twenties at best. to add to the laughs later in the film the family runs into a crazy woman they had met previously and she claims the barker is her pappy.

To cut to the chase after the family leaves the bogus side sho(a couple of fetus's in jars and a snake in a glass case, dad takes a wrong turn, the car runs out of gas, and soon they find themselves knee-deep in in-bred country. Not only in-bred but mutant in-bred (The Hills Have Eyes, anyone?). The family fights back but every time they kill one of the mutants, two more show up-family kill two-three more mutants appear and etc..etc and so-on.

This film doesn't even fall into the so bad it's good category so BEWARE. The only thing I find funny is the phony 5 star reviews written by "plants"



1/5 CRAP-SHO
  by M. Csanadi
Why are there so many bad horror movies at Blockbuster? How do they even make it past the student film showcase? Side-Sho is god aweful. I don't mean the type of bad that its so bad its good (Troma), I mean the filmmakers of this movie tried so hard and they wasted good money. DO NOT BUY/RENT/OR WASTE the 1 hour 1/2 on this crapfest. It has to be a student film from some community college somewhere, because the acting is the worst and its a ripoff of every good horror movie of the past 5 years. there isn't even NUDITY to make up for any of this. there is literally ONE small boob. thats it. ONE! I'd rather watch my dying grandmother take a dump than sit through CRAP SHO one more time. The filmmakers of this movie should be literally crapped on for an 1 1/2 hours. Amateurs!
