Both star midget Harry Earles; both feature a strongman named Hercules; and both deal with sideshow performers who decide to take revenge on &#8220;normal&#8221; society. Beyond these surface similarities, however, the films differ quite a bit: while <em>Freaks<\/em> celebrated its circus misfits as a collective group who were content as long as they were respected, <em>The Unholy Three<\/em> presents the performers as exploited and dissatisfied, eager to use their skills or differences for criminal gain. <\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s not an entirely successful film, there is much to recommend about <em>The Unholy Three<\/em>: Earles is particularly creepy here (and more effective than in <em>Freaks<\/em>) as a twenty-year-old man who can easily pass as a squalling baby; and Lon Chaney turns in yet another stellar performance as both Echo and the stoop-backed, bespectacled &#8220;Granny O&#8217;Grady&#8221;. Unfortunately, however, some major flaws detract from the film&#8217;s overall impact. While the trio&#8217;s decision to open a parrot shop is a clever play on Echo&#8217;s ventriloquism skills, it&#8217;s ultimately a silly and contrived way to go about scamming money. In addition, meek shop assistant Hector (Matt Moore) plays an essential part in the film&#8217;s plot, yet his presence in the parrot shop doesn&#8217;t make logical sense. Finally, a giant chimpanzee emerges for no good reason at the end of the film, other than to kill a key character. Despite its problems, however, this remains an eminently watchable, well-acted thriller, one which showcases Browning&#8217;s unique vision, and is thus worth viewing at least once. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lon Chaney, remarkably convincing as both Echo and &#8220;Granny O&#8217;Grady&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Chaney.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Chaney.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Chaney.jpg 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Chaney-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Chaney-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Chaney-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Harry Earles, effectively creepy as a twenty-year-old &#8220;baby&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Earles.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Earles.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Earles.jpg 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Earles-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Earles-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Earles-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A brief glimpse at Browning&#8217;s fascination with circus sideshow performers<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Fat-Woman.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Fat-Woman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Fat-Woman.jpg 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Fat-Woman-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Fat-Woman-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Fat-Woman-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Tattoos.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Tattoos.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Tattoos.jpg 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Tattoos-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Tattoos-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Unholy-Three-Tattoos-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes.
