Hey... HEY! Why is nobody talking about this movie? This is actually an interesting take on a story about people with superpowers. Go support it in theatres, people!
Marianna Neal 🇺🇦Mar 7, 2020Rotten Tomatoes: 86% Metacritic Metascore: 63 77/100 Dad: "Want to know what's in an ice cream truck...? Frozen kid bodies." Freaks starts (or so you think) as a film which promises to deliver some uncomfortable moments between an overprotective dad who may or may not be…
@Mr. LikeSep 17, 2019This was kinda dope! It was like a low budget, indie X-men movie. I knew nothing about this going in which made it really interesting. I love how it’s told from the perspective of the little girl because everything felt dreamlike and confusing until she learns more about…

This film is X-Men meets Leave No Trace and they also kidnapped Bruce Dern from Nebraska. It features a great child performance à la Linda Blair (The Exorcist) from 8 year-old Lexy Kolker who has the potential to become a full-blown star. This film also has the potential to…
Allison M. 🌱Mar 3, 2019Everything was creepy around this wee girl. Her Dad, the house, her drawings, her hanging out grubby vest, and the ice-cream man. You pick up the pieces through Chloe's eyes, as she gradually learns about the world around her, and discovers her powers. Great visuals of…
cherryzSep 14, 2018A chintzy yet well-intentioned slab of socially conscious science-fiction, Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein’s “Freaks” is a familiar tale of super-powered outcasts who are forced to hide their gifts from the rest of humanity, but the appeal of this derivative slop is all in…

if i had superpowers i would put the cocaine back in coke
theoAug 14, 2020this is one of those Christian End Times movies about persecuted Christians only the Christians are the X-Men.
Matthew ChristmanDec 25, 2019If anyone tries to hurt us, I know how to make them stop. This is the X-Men reboot we all deserved. Part Leave No Trace and part The Incredibles, Freaks transports us to a world where government forces attempt to control "abnormals" by any means necessary to keep society…

Nonsense, repetitive events and bad plot. It would be a hit if it was abt parents neglect, and the grandpa was a real icecream trucker “freak” who kidnaps children to give a lesson for the parents because he has childhood trauma due his parents.
brooke likedFreaksif this was a book i would read it the start was kind of slow but ended up so good
Aza is "meh" onFreaksits a cool concept and i liked that it was all in the perspective of the young girl. i think it could have been more thought out and interesting. they should remake this and make it better.

it was an interesting watch and mildly entertaining. a movie i would put on in the background as i was doing something else.
Luis Carbajal likedFreaksWow is the first word that comes to mind after watching this movie. While the beginning drags on a little bit, the ending is worth every second. Jump on a rollercoaster of missing puzzle pieces and be in awe when it all comes together. 7.5/10 Full review: https://boxd.it/5gIIf
Skyy likedFreaksI don’t know what I was expecting when I clicked ‘play’, but it definitely wasn’t this. It threw me off so much, because nothing was expected. The mom being alive still, them all having super powers, being “freaks”, WILD! I thought it was going to be about a kidnapping! 7/10

Amazing! Underrated but really good. This movie was riveting. It kept us on the edge of our seats while also providing wholesome sub- themes that warmed our hearts. The plot developed really well, and the cinematography brought a certain realism to this sci-fi movie.
Destanii likedFreaksIt was a really good movie because it’s mostly from the child’s point of view and in the beginning of the movie you’re questioning why the girl can’t leave the house or yard . Once it gets to the plot reveal that’s when it really gets good. 8.5/10 recommend
BugToad lovedFreaksThe storytelling here was so unique. No, it isn't fast-paced, but that's the beauty of it. It intentionally keeps the viewer in the dark, giving them just enough info to keep them on the edge of their seat before tying it all together. Phenomenal.

The movie Freaks releases in a weird time to moviegoers. Most people rather watch all type of movies through streaming services than go to movie theaters or rather watch the most trending movies of superheroes and nostalgia. Ten years ago, Freaks would have been…

It’s watchable and intriguing stuff, yet also silly and inconsistent.

Freaks subtly subverts the superhero formula under the guise of a hallucinatory, cautionary tale of paranoia, delusion and extreme parenthood.

The final act isn’t as interesting as the first two were to me. But Hirsch impresses, as usual, as a man losing his wits and Dern always gives fair value as a canny old coot who knows more than he’s letting on.
