It’s a love letter to the genre without ever aping or mimicking it. With an incredible supporting cast and two engaging leads, it’s an out and out blast that finds Landon inching closer and closer to slasher masters like Craven and Carpenter.

Director Christopher Landon's Freaky is breathlessly stolen by Vince Vaughn, who delivers a character both terrifying and lovable in equal measure.

Is the big draw still watching Vaughn act like a teenage girl? You bet. But Freaky‘s success lies in its ability to create around that central performance and not simply rely upon its absurdity.

This is a fast-paced, likable, and silly romp arriving at a time where a horror movie’s memorability tends to correlate with its evocative doominess. Even when Freaky doesn’t live up to its full potential, there’s still something oddly satisfying about unmasking a slasher movie to reveal the ’80s comedy lurking underneath.

The unspoken joke of the title is that this movie really wants to be called “Freaky Friday the 13th,” which is not a bad starting point, but the line dividing gory violence and farcical hilarity — which Landon has skillfully walked in the past — gets too blurry for the movie’s own good.

Freaky was an amazing movie it was like if you were to fuse the movie Friday the 13th and the movie Hot Chicks the perfect Friday the 13th movie.

Very pervy & gross for like no reason, I understand you're meant to hate the people so it's enjoyable when they get punished or whatever, but a lot of the comments are just over the top unnecessary... who writes this stuff? Neat to see the body swap thing in a different genre & def had a lot of entertaining moments outside of the grossness.

As with many horror movies of this style it tends to stumble towards the end when it gets to the last chase scenes. It overstays its welcome. And the final scenes and thereby the last 10 minutes are just unnecessary. The premise, at least on paper, is interesting and has potential for some backwards who-is-who chase scenes. It tries to work some of that in with mixed results. Overall it was entertaining.

Unabashed horror rip-off of Freaky Friday. Seriously. It's Friday. The title is 'Freaky'. There's body swapping. I'm kind of shocked they weren't sued.
All that aside, if you saw the trailer you can literally skip the first half of the movie and you won't have missed anything or be lost.
I expected good pacing and witty dialog a la 'Happy Death Day', but no it so dull. Save your time.

I think there was already a movie or a series episode with this exact same plot... but not as nearly poorly-made as this one
this is 4/10 at most, mediocre (at most) in everything
