Nick St. Cruse E May 21 Like if the Zucker Brothers made an all out Vom-athon Monster Mash. Non-stop assault of rapid fire jokes and gross GOOP! Beautiful. See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch Jan 22 "Freaked," a film released in 1993, centers around a toxic chemical that mutates individuals into what are dubbed "freaks." As the title suggests, the movie delivers exactly what you’d expect from that premise: it’s corny, cheesy, and somewhat laughable. Finding this film proved to be quite a challenge; I eventually managed to track it down on YouTube. Unfortunately, the movie suffers from poor writing and feels like a misguided attempt by the director to craft a quintessential 90s flick. While many films from that era have a certain charm—even the cheesy ones that manage to entertain and evoke a sense of nostalgia—this one simply doesn’t hit the mark. I can’t say I would want to watch "Freaked” again. To me, it came off as utterly ridiculous and nonsensical. However, I can see how younger audiences, particularly children or those in their early twenties, might find it amusing and entertaining. It’s not my preference, but the film does embody that classic 90s spirit filled with goofy antics that aim to keep viewers engaged and laughing. In that sense, it fulfilled its purpose for its time, but it hasn’t aged gracefully, leaving little impact for anyone who might stumble upon it today. If you’re in the mood for something humorous, you might give this film a try. Just be prepared to feel a bit dazed and foolish afterward, as its absurdity teeters on the edge of complete silliness.

It weirded me out every single time, but I loved it so much. See more John D 05/13/2024 Someone in the audience reviews wrote 'I don't know why I liked this movie, but I did.' I agree. Watched this on the YouTube Creature Features channel recently and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was with several laugh-out-loud moments. And I don't usually laugh out-loud! I don't know how I've never heard of this film before, but now that I've given up on modern Hollywood, finding quirky gems like this to watch is golden. If you like absurdist humour, good 80s-90s practical creature effects and a healthy serving of cheese, this movie is for you. I've read it's considered a minor cult classic. It deserves higher cult status in my opinion. Enjoy! See more stevie S 11/11/2023 I love this movie. Had completely missed it when ‘released' but only just saw it a cpl of years ago. It is the movie i was missing in my early teen years See more T G 07/14/2023 One of the best comedies of the 90s. Tragically underrated, this is absolutely worth your time. Great cast! Brooke Shields, Bobcat Goldthwait, Alex Winter, Mr. T, and even Keanu Reeves in an uncredited part as the DogBoy! See more Read all reviews
