Sideshow is a horror film from 2000 and released Full Moon Pictures directed by Fred Olen Ray.
High school students visit a traveling carnival home to "unique" exhibits. They meet with a fortune teller who lets them in on what the future holds. One by one the teens get their desires but at a cost. Soon it becomes a battle for survival in hopes to not become a part of the show themselves.
The movie received rather poor reviews. Allmovie rated it 2 out of 5.[1] TV Guide called it an "imbecilic chiller".[2]
Another reviewer wrote, "Like a lot of Full Moon pictures, this movie is surprisingly good despite its cheese. It has a story, it knows how to tell it, and the plot holes aren't overwhelming. They do cheese right. But it IS cheesy. Three out of five digested toasters."[3]
