REVIEW: Freaky
A WHO'S WHO OF WHO ARE YOU?
A highly enjoyable and consistently clever horror flick delivers a winning blend of a body-swapping Freaky Friday and a body-chopping Friday the 13th.
Not a dull minute is clocked as we work through the strange case of a serial killer known as the Blissfield Butcher (Vince Vaughn). Fresh from dispatching a quartet of his high schoolers to an early grave, this lanky streak of pure evil accidentally conjures a spell that sees him switching bodies with a meek, mild young student named Millie (Kathryn Newton).
Once the changeover is in play, both actors have a field day playing one another. Newton's transformation from wallflower to psychopath is both chillingly convincing and archly amusing. Same goes for Vaughn's highly skilled work heading in the opposite direction.
