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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 3, 2021

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 2, 2021

Freaky isn't half as odd as it could be, and it's less satisfying as a result.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 2, 2021

When it's in the mood, horror can be a sexually subversive genre; it can also be a flagrantly non-PC one. Freaky treads a treacherous line between the two with aplomb.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 1, 2021

While not quite on a par with Happy Death Day, Freaky is an ebullient slasher that strikes a perfect balance of comedy and carnage.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 28, 2021

Freaky knows it's a farce and winks at the silliest of slasher tropes, but that satirical edge doesn't keep it from being one of the most purely enjoyable horror works I've seen in a long time.

| Feb 3, 2021

You can feel the humor and the terror continually goosing each other here instead of canceling each other, even in the bits that don't quite work or feel like padding.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Freaky isn't just the future of inclusive, social justice horror either. Freaky is the future of the horror genre altogether.

| Dec 30, 2020

A freak flag half-flown.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 21, 2020

Simply put, Freaky sucks.

| Nov 19, 2020

Things lag in the flabby midsection and a tacked-on double ending would have been better left on the cutting room floor, but "Freaky" has enough going for it - namely Vaughn, who's better than he's been able to be in years - that it's worth a stab.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 18, 2020

It's fun to watch Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn play each other, but I think it runs out of steam as it goes on.

| Nov 14, 2020

Vince Vaughn is convincing as both a serial killer and the teen who inhabits his person in the self-aware horror comedy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 14, 2020

Freaky is amusing and gory enough to still be an entertaining slasher movie with its own satisfying spin on the final-girl trope.

| Nov 13, 2020

Not every joke or jolt hits the mark. But thanks to a go-for-broke Vince Vaughn as a serial killer who body swaps with a teen girl, you won't find 'd a better way to laugh out loud while being scared senseless than with this 'Freaky' Friday the 13th.

| Nov 13, 2020

In between all of the murders and mayhem, there is room for some sly humor and some genuine warmth. Vaughn and Newton have a blast and it is a lot of fun.

| Original Score: B | Nov 13, 2020

We can't argue "Freaky" takes the genre to the next level, exactly - but it's still bloody good fun.

| Nov 13, 2020

No one is doing comedy-horror better. As with the Happy Death Day films, Freaky hilariously modernizes the high school bloodbath for laughs.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 12, 2020

Pretty entertaining, and mostly because of Vince Vaughn.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 12, 2020

Newton is up to the task of embodying a relentless "murder Barbie," but most of the comedy is assigned to Vaughn, more enthusiastically committed here than in many of his recent roles.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 12, 2020
