Freaky Reviews
Here in 'Freaky,' [director Christopher Landon] remains in his element.
The stars enjoy themselves hugely as the mixed-up antagonists.
Freaky is a must-see slasher film to see, looking at the historicity of 21st-century society, notably in terms of digital technology, political correctness, the inclusion of diversity, and more.
Vince Vaughn is excellent as the psychopath-turned-Pippi-Longstocking in this fast-moving, tongue-in-cheek thriller.
Slasher films need to emulate the slashers themselves and refuse to stay dead, and Freaky is a great case for why
Before Freaky even introduces its high concept body-swap premise, director Christopher Landon delivers a whole slasher film in miniature...
[Director Christopher Landon] has even more fun with the body swapping humor than he does with the conventions of the stalk-and-slash conventions. But he also turns the opportunistic kills into a something of a dark wish fulfillment revenge fantasy.
Hilariously gruesome! This film's unique blend of horror and humor had me thoroughly entertained. Big win for slasher fans.
Despite its unique plot angle and a stunningly hilarious lead performance by Vince Vaughn, Freaky is a film that, while staying wacky, also stays safe, sticking to puns and cheap jump scares rather than exploring its ideas.
Of course, like every body-swap movie, Freaky gets tired of its basic story halfway through and starts running out of jokes, kills, and twists. But, I appreciate that it tries until the last moment.
A hilarious horror-comedy about a teenage girl who wakes up in a serial killer’s body after a near-death encounter, Freaky is the slasher version of Freaky Friday we didn’t know we needed...
Freaky is another wicked win for Happy Death Day’s Christopher Landon, who blazingly balances horror and humor in this subversive slasher.
Eventually the film’s premise begins to run out of gas, only making it to the finish on the backs of Vaughn and Newton.
... This film is gold and gives Vaughan the chance for wonderful physical comedy as a teenage girl trapped in the body of a middle-aged man.
Freaky takes advantage of its gender-bending premise to explore teen gender stereotypes and the somewhat arbitrary privileges afforded to young women and middle-aged men.
What the movie does well is engage a horror-savvy viewer with its playful understanding of genre, making the experience like a game to see how Landon and company will turn certain tropes or references into a joke between the filmmaker and audience.
The film offers nostalgia and appreciation for slasher films from the past and, ultimately, is a satisfying watch for every slasher fan. It's bloodier than you can expect with gore flooding the screen.
It's witty and engaging, providing plenty to laugh at and be horrified by. And the hilarity of Vaughn portraying a 16-year-old girl is consistently top tier.
Freaky isn't the most groundbreaking horror movie ever made, but it's a pretty high-water mark in our ongoing teen horror renaissance-have you heard about it?
Wouldn't seem so gruesomely indulgent if it felt like a story and not an outline.
