Critics Consensus

An entertaining slasher with a gender-bending, body-swapping twist, this horror-comedy juggles genres with Freaky fun results.

The film has its moments, but a camp Vince Vaughn is a device of diminishing returns.

3/5

Freaky zips by amusingly enough, but its concepts never quite pop like they did in Happy Death Day, nor does it push the envelope enough for a film that references the dark masterpiece that is Heathers so early on.

Freaky is a must-see slasher film to see, looking at the historicity of 21st-century society, notably in terms of digital technology, political correctness, the inclusion of diversity, and more.

Vince Vaughn is excellent as the psychopath-turned-Pippi-Longstocking in this fast-moving, tongue-in-cheek thriller.
