Torture Garden
Do You Dare See What Dr. Diabolo Sees?
A darkly theatrical anthology horror film that uses a supernatural carnival exhibit to expose the hidden sins and moral corruption lurking beneath respectable surfaces.
A special sideshow torture exhibit has the power, according to showman Dr Diabolo, to warn people of foreseeable evil. One by one, skeptics stand before the Fate Atropos to preview the greed and violence hiding behind their respectable façades.
