SHE FREAK is a 1967 US horror film in which a bored waitress joins a travelling carnival sideshow.

violence
There are scenes of moderate violence including stabbings, punches and kicks. After a stabbing with a screwdriver, we see the weapon sticking through the victim’s bloody hand. A person is seen with a mutilated face and burn scars on their body, implied to be the result of off-screen violence. However, the film’s effects are dated and unrealistic.
language
There is infrequent use of moderate bad language (‘cooch’, ‘tramp’). Milder terms include ‘hell’ and ‘damn’.
sex
There are references to stripping and topless burlesque shows, and a performer wearing a bikini is seen dancing in front of a crowd of cheering men. Couples are shown kissing and embracing before implied off-screen sex.
discrimination
People with congenital disabilities are displayed in a carnival sideshow, and are described using terms such as ‘freak’, ‘monster’ and 'creature'. An unsympathetic character expresses fear and disgust at the sideshow performers, but other people criticise her reaction. A man calls a woman a ‘tramp’ and accuses her of potentially spreading ‘disease’ through sexual promiscuity. There is also infrequent use of the term ‘gypsy’.
additional issues
Other issues include a discreet passing reference to drug misuse.
