Freaky

I loved Happy Death Day and it’s sequel. Turning Groundhog Day into a horror comedy was such a natural fit. I mean, the premise IS horrifying. So when I heard the same director was gonna take the body swap genre and do the same thing? I was on board. When I found out he was going hard R on this one? PUSHING ALL MY CHIPS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE. Absolute MAGIC. This movie is a blast, from start to finish. Vince Vaughn as a teenage girl? HILARIOUS. Kathryn Newton as a malevolent slasher killer in the body of a petite blonde high school girl? OUTSTANDING. Somehow still mixing in comedy — actual laugh-out-loud comedy — as well as the tried and true lesson learned from being in another body? Nailed it. It never drags, it never feels cliche, the supporting characters are fun, and for gorehounds, the R rating is JUSTIFIED. Teaser: a table saw gets used, and not how you think. Much, much better than how you think. I don’t know what else to say. I don’t know what else I can say. I fucking adore this movie. I’m gonna buy the Blu-Ray as soon as I’m doing with this review. It’s just that much fun.
