Critics Consensus

Bold, funny, and overall entertaining, Freaky Tales is a vibrantly well-acted period piece that makes up in style what it lacks in narrative substance.

Audience Says

Freaky Tales wears the cult in its sleeve and keeps Oakland at heart, delivering a freak-ing good movie with ‘80s vibes to spare.

Observer (UK)

With its VHS bargain-bin aesthetic, this is scuzzily enjoyable stuff.

Rated: 4/5

Empire Magazine

Freaky Tales never amounts to more than the sum of its parts — but those parts, while uneven, are always high-energy and entertaining.

Rated: 3/5

FilmWeek (LAist)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film... It has a sort of Repo Man quality to it where you probably don't want to ask too many questions.

Starburst

Writer/director duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck present an ode to individualism in this ’80s-set anthology that’s humorous, violent and highly entertaining.

Rated: 4/5

Movie Marker

Patchy in places but looks poised to become a fan favourite, packed with OTT gore, high energy, fun vibes and cinematic dose of chaos.

Rated: 3/5

Its forced joie de vivre doesn’t recycle genre cliches with the wit or style required. There are a lot of big swings that are welcome in theory but just aren’t particularly well executed.

This is giving the love to the Bay that it deserves. With Too hort behind it, you can't lose. This has captivating story-lines, and violence that will leave you cheering in the theater.
