#REVIEW: “FREAKY” ON BLU-RAY™

One of this year’s biggest sleeper hits is FREAKY which actually lives up to its succinct title. The Body Swap-Horror Comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton is a total blast and we’re sure you will enjoy it too!

Vaughn plays the Blissfield Butcher , who goes on a murdering spree, targeting high schoolers and Millie (Newton) is his next target. After nearly killing her, she gets away but things get exactly as the title suggests as they each inhabit each other’s bodies. Millie, now in his body, has exactly 24 hours to stop his rampage or the two will be trapped in each other’s bodies forever.

We love that the Film goes all out embracing its Restricted rating. It’s bloody, over-the-top and ridiculous, which is exactly what we signed-up for in this latest romp from Happy Death Day helmer Christopher Landon.
