Re: Freaky So fun! Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn are great. Loved Millie, loved Nyla, loved Josh, the whole cast did a great job overall and the ending is one of my favorites ever in horror, so damn satisfying and badass

Re: Freaky Yeah I loved it. Not as much as Happy Death Day but it's a very fun flick.

Re: Freaky This was great indeed. A simple story executed perfectly. It does not overstay its welcome because it does not indulge in too many side stories. Vince Vaughn is great in this and he reminded me of Black's turn in Jumanji and he nails it here. Kathryn Newton was good but her psycho expression was just a smug face. The supporting cast members are great here. I felt the end was a little too easy and rushed but its still satisfactory enough. I loved Happy Death Day more than this but this was a good watch.

Re: Freaky Very funny, with brutal kill scenes. There wasn't much else going on here, but it was a very fun time and I have no regrets dropping $20 for the rental. The car scene ... my goodness .. great stuff from Vince Vaughn.  B+

Re: Freaky This was pretty entertaining. Vince Vaughn was great and I liked Kathryn Newton in it even though I didn't completely buy her as a high school outcast or as a killer. The practical gore was awesome in this too with some very inventive/creative kills and the comedy actually hit most of the time. The gay best friend was easily my favorite character in the movie.

Re: Freaky This is undoubtedly fun and it makes the most of it's slasher properties too with some brutal kills. Vaughn really stands out, great as the girl trapped in a man's body, but I couldn't really fall in love with the film either. While it does a good job mixing the two concepts, it leaves in some general tropes which left me unimpressed. I could see room for a few more kills to elevate it, though in terms of humor it really pretty much mostly nails the parts.
