The horror-comedy sub-genre has given us some of the dumbest, most cynical movies imaginable, but Landon appears to have nailed what makes these two flavours go together – an appreciation and respect for both forms. Read more

Witty and fun, Freaky is a promising blend of body swap horror and slasher cliches. It might not be as effective as the Happy Death Day movies, but I certainly appreciated its R-rated approach and unflinching blood and gore. Vince Vaughn is a treasure, Kathryn Newton is a bad ass and director Christopher Landon has yet again cemented his name as one of the most exciting horror filmmakers working in the industry today.

All in all, though, the script is filled with jokes I found unsatisfactory, severely limiting the extent to which I could engage with these performances. And in the end these two performers are the glue holding this high concept film together. Read more

Hoewel iedereen leuk speelt, staan de spotlights vooral op Vaughn. Daar doet hij ook veel voor: hij is zowel intimiderend als komisch en houdt zich prima staande in de emotionele scènes. Read more
