Freaky: No Corpo de um Assassino

Here's a role I would never imagined Vince Vaughn doing- but damn glad he did!!! The whole body switching thing (yeah we've seen it a million times, I know) but this despite a familiar premise was sold by the two leads particularly Vaughn who seemed he was having a blast playing killer and highschool senior!

Well written, great acting, and a decent ending.

Worth checking out!!

It's a little late for a Halloween/slasher movie, but it looks like they really wanted that Friday the 13th release date. And to my surprise, this was way more fun than I thought it would be.

Just when you think it's another generic, teen angst, alcohol-drinking, sex-thirsting movie, the kills start happening. Not only were they gory, but they were also quite creative. The movie just knows exactly what it is and never takes itself too seriously. Plus, watching mean bullies die in horrific ways was just so satisfying to watch. (Hopefully, I'm not the only one...)

More importantly, Vince Vaughn is the reason you should watch this. You have this 6-foot-5 giant of a man running around as a teenage girl. From the way he speaks to his subtle mannerisms, it was just plain funny. He's the man-- or the woman, I mean.

As for the negatives, it mostly has to do with the writing. Basically, everything with the family was boring and predictable. It was probably the most generic part of the movie. They lazily tell you everything you need to know as soon as they're introduced.

I also hate it when movies portray a character as "ugly" or "undesirable" and the actress is anything but. In other words, they want you to believe that Kathryn Newton's Millie is some kind of weirdo loser, but I just never bought it.

There's also a disconnect between Newton's Millie, who is shy, timid and quiet, and Vince Vaughn's Millie, who is girly-girl, talkative and fun. They just felt like different people. There's also, sort of, two endings. There was the natural conclusion, and everything was good, but then it goes on for another 10 minutes, and it was just unnecessary.

Despite some annoying tropes and poor writing, this was a fun, self-aware movie with some horrific kills and really funny body swap moments.

Score: 7 out of 10 Overall: Good

Recommended for: Fans of Vince Vaughn, fans of Freaky Friday with a slasher twist, or fans of watching scumbag bullies get what's coming to them.

Thanks for reading!

As I sat down to watch the 2020 movie titled "Freaky", I must admit that I wasn't really expecting the movie to be very outstanding or memorable. But still, it had Vince Vaughn in it, so chances were that it would be watchable.

Turns out that "Freaky" was surprisingly good. This movie totally surprised me. I will say that the movie started out by having me thinking it was just a senseless rip-off of the "Friday the 13th" movies, but that all changed - and for the better.

The movie's storyline turned out to be one that brought suspense, comedy and thrills along with it, mixing the elements in a very enjoyable manner. I was genuinely entertained by what writers Michael Kennedy and Christopher Landon managed to deliver for "Freaky".

Now, if you think "Freaky Friday" meets "Friday the 13th", then you actually have the result that is "Freaky". I kid you not! And it works out so very, very well. And yeah, a body-swap horror comedy done the way that director Christopher Landon did with "Freaky" just worked marvelously.

I will say that Vince Vaughn definitely had nailed some iconic and classic Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees moves and mannerisms in the beginning of the movie, and he pulled it off so very well. But when the story progressed and The Butcher (played by Vince Vaughn) switched bodies with Millie (played by Kathryn Newton) the movie took a turn for the better, and it become absolutely splendid.

And it should be said that there were so many nods towards established and well-known horror movies throughout the course of "Freaky", and that was just so much fun to pick up on.

"Freaky" was made so enjoyable and entertaining mostly by Vince Vaughn's performance as a teenage girl trapped in a hulking body of a mass murdered. There were just so many laughs to be had there, and his ways of delivering the dialogue, his expressions, his mannerisms and behavior all just came together so well for a very, very funny outcome.

This was definitely a very good movie, and I can highly recommend that you sit down to watch it if you have the chance. My rating of "Freaky" is a well-deserved seven out of ten stars. This movie was such a wonderful surprise.

This is a fun film, with a bit of slasher elements and the comedy style surrounding this genre. Now, the added value here is the great pace and the cool performance of Vince Vaughn as a teenage girl. The film is more funny than scary and there is plenty of nice dialogue and moments in there to keep you entertained. 7,5 / 10 freaky fun movie.

Vince Vaughn's acting is top notch. His pancy way of running around n his girly act is what made this film entertaining. The film starts off with a bang, lots of brutal killings n then maintains the entertaining value cos of Vaughn's top notch acting. The film has good humor n moves at a decent pace. The professor with the handle bar moustache looks like Edward Norton.
