Written and directed by Christopher Landon, Freaky gets twisted with a take on the body-swap movie genre. A teenage girl, played by Kathryn Newton, switches bodies with a relentless serial killer.
The story is simple, horrific, and, hopefully, funny, as seventeen-year-old Millie Kessler is just trying to survive the bloodthirsty halls of Blissfield High. It’s the cruelty of the popular crowd that gets her down. But when she becomes the newest target of The Butcher, played by Vince Vaughn, her town’s infamous serial killer, her senior year becomes the least of her worries.
When The Butcher’s mystical ancient dagger causes him and Millie to wake up in each other’s bodies, Millie learns that she has just 24 hours to get her body back before the switch becomes permanent. She’s trapped in the form of a middle-aged maniac forever. The only problem is she now looks like a towering psychopath who’s the target of a city-wide manhunt, while The Butcher looks like her and has brought his appetite for more carnage at homecoming.
With some help from her friends, ultra-woke Nyla, played by Celeste O’Connor, ultra-fabulous Joshua, played by Misha Osherovich, and her crush Booker, played by Uriah Shelton, Millie races against the clock to reverse the curse. The Butcher discovers that having a female teen body is the perfect cover for a little homecoming killing spree.
The film also stars Alan Ruck, Katie Finneran, and Dana Drori.
Produced by Blumhouse, and it’s a pitch-black horror-comedy about a slasher, a senior, and the brutal truth about high school.
Written and directed by Miranda July comes a profoundly moving and wildly original comedy.
