Freaky

POSITIVES…

  • Fans of horror, scary, and slasher films, should greatly appreciate the premise of this film.

  • Right from the opening scene, this movie immediately embraces the fact it's all-in with showing bloody horrific violence. Awesome.

  • The death scenes are spectacular.

  • Speaking of which. I know we shouldn’t root for death, but there’s a series of murders in this that I was absolutely looking forward to seeing.

  • It’s comedic sensibilities, humorous dialogue, and self-awareness gags, only makes this movie even more entertaining.

  • Themes surrounding gender dynamics and identity actually works well with this story and it’s sense of humor.

  • Watching Kathryn Newton act like a cold-hearted killer, and Vince Vaughn acting like a teenage girl, is undoubtedly one of the main reasons to see this movie, and it is so very enjoyable to see.

  • The supporting cast added to the movie too, like Misha Osherovich, Celeste O’Connor, Alan Ruck, Dana Drori, Katie Finneran, Uriah Shelton, plus more.

  • Excellent pacing, set-up scenes, plot reveals, and soundtrack. This movie is firing on all the right cylinders.

  • Has homages and easter eggs to different horror, scary, and slasher movies, that are fun to spot.

NEGATIVES…

  • Some plot conveniences, and predictability.

  • Does that whole pretty actress pretending to play a character that's supposed to be unattractive and somehow nobody can see she's not an ugly girl at all stupid plot trope.

  • There is one scene; while it was nice for what it was, stops the movie dead in its tracks.

  • Then there’s this other scene that kinda got too dark for the general tone of the movie.
