Movie Review: ‘Freaky’ Is One Hell Of A Fun Flick!

When a movie gets a huge advertising campaign or a ton of attention on social media, I often find myself let down after I actually get to watch it. But that’s not the case with writer-director Christopher Landon’s (Happy Death Day, the Paranormal Activity franchise) Freaky. In the movie, high schooler Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton) is just trying to survive the cruel halls of Blissfield High and the evil of the popular crowd. But when she becomes the newest target of “The Butcher” (Vince Vaughn), the infamous serial killer who stalks her town, her lack of popularity becomes the least of her worries. Part horror, part comedy, Freaky gets so much right. Newton plays the perfect balance of kind and quirky and is truly relatable. You really feel for her, but when her soul gets swapped with the killers, you can clearly see the change even in subtle ways, like her wardrobe and the looks she gives. Vince Vaughn kills
