In director Gabriele Mainetti‘s award-winning genre mashup Freaks Vs. The Reich, a group of circus performers endowed with supernatural powers, bands together to fight the Nazi regime of terror in Italy. Today, not only do we have the trailer, but we also have a clip titled ‘He Has Gills,’ watch them both below.
In the film, “Looking to flee the Nazi menace for the shores of America are four super-powered circus performers: there’s beautiful, young, electrically-charged Matilde, Cencio, an albino with the ability to control insects, Mario, a dwarf graced with magnetic powers, and Fulvio, a strongman covered from head to toe with hair. On their heels is the psychotic Franz, an ether-addicted, six-fingered Nazi who runs the nearby circus and believes that the supernaturally gifted quartet will help him turn the tide of the war, delivering the ultimate victory for Hitler and the Reich. Will the “freaks” be able to escape the grasp of the brutal Nazis, or will their incredible powers be harnessed in a way that could change both their destinies and the entire course of history forever?”
