Featured reviews
A surprisingly good stab flick. It was fun and gory, with a body switching twist for that extra kick. I mean, he did make Happy Death Days and some Paranormal Activities so I'm loving his groove anyway. It looked like Vince Vaughn had a fun time filming this.
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 movie was a blast. It's not an academy award winning film lol. It's exactly what I was looking for, a fun Friday night. It made me laugh, had some gory kills, and the acting was good. I never understand the whole "it's not original" argument. Give me a break. It's a good movie.
This movie revolves around a girl that is picked on by everyone, by the fellow students, even the teachers. Then one day she swaps bodies with a serial killer. Vince Vaught truly carries this movie, Kathryn Newton does a very bad job at pretending Vince, the only thing she does is being quiet and looking like an infant who has to poop. It's the most predictable plot EVER, but the fair amount of slashing makes up for that. Then there are the demonic whispers in the movie, but that is more laughable then scary, I even dare to say there is not 1 scary thing in this movie. If you will never see this movie in your life, then you have missed out nothing, if you can't find a better movie, this one will fill your evening.
This movie is so funny and really fun to watch, not really brutal like super scary movie, cause this movie is comedy so not that scary, I love the comedy. They are make me laughing, from the movie was start until the end of the movie, but there's so many adult jokes in this film
It's kinda weird seeing a girl into a guy and act like a girl, I like the guy acting so funny, and when the girl turn into a guy he/she and kiss his/her crush, it was so funny seeing they're kissing. Recommend movie for Halloween.
