Freak Out Overview
Merv Doody (James Heathcoate) is the ultimate horror movie geek until the day a notvery- dangerous escaped mental patient lands on his doorstep. With the help of his ambitious buddy Onkey (co-writer/producer Dan Palmer), the two decide to groom this feeble nutcase into a legendary slasher-movie maniac. But when the masked wacko develops a taste for bloodshed, he becomes a walking, stalking killing machine that only Merv and Onkey can stop. Gratuitous nudity, gross-out gore, foul language, arse piranhas, ska-punk legends Less Than Jake, and more — await in this international cult sensation written, produced and directed by Christian James that fans and critics call the most offensive and hilarious horror comedy of the year!
Horror Movies Customer Reviews
Bum-antennas! That's right, if you're reading right now ... you're a tracer-bum! By the way, while I'm telling you I'm laughing hysterically and pointing at you. Yes, I know that I can see, trust me though.
Inside, Freak Out is a heartfelt story of two best friends, Merv Doody (James Heathcote) and onkey (Dan Palmer), trying to make their home, the island of Redwater Cove, a better place. No, I'm lying. These two friends named Merv and onkey, but the storycenters on their pet project to take an unfortunate (and very effeminate) escaped mental patient under their wing and teaching him how to be a real serial killer. This is truly a noble cause. The world needs more good citizens like Merv and onkey.
It 's rare that I laugh so much a movie as I did during FREAK OUT. I think I literally broke a gut. It would certainly explain the stain on my chair. It 's so stupid and so absurd, but it is absolutely hilarious. It 's a goofy script,but at the same time is very intelligent. It 's a comic parody of classic horror films like The Evil Dead, Friday the 13th, and the like. Unlike movies like Scary Movie, is more than just a satire, much more than just a parody. These films are the focus of the gags and the plot seems more like an afterthought, while FREAK OUT gag uses to compliment a very funny story. So there's not much beneath the surface, and is far more natural to it. The jokes are available inclusters, many of them at random out of nowhere, but they are not forced into the throat of the public. Instead, they sneak up behind you.then smack you in the back of the head.
For an independent film, the most surprising aspect for me was the fact that the acting was great! Once I get used to the accents (most likely not be a problem for those in the United Kingdom), I was not distracted by the performance of anyone. Heathcote and Palmer have very good chemistry on screen (maybe more of usachieve?), and are quite believable as best buds. Heathcote is commendable as the lovable loser, and Palmer is a first-rate job as the annoying sidekick who more often than not, is not liable to get you into trouble. The dialogue is all delivered with ease and director Christian James does a fantastic job guiding the film from behind the camera. A lot of camera work expert, cleverly shot scenes, and the change of solid to make a visually stimulating journey, and really do much to makeyou forget this is not a big-budget production. And what is pleasing to the eye, it is equally pleasant to the ear. Work Composer Stuart Fox for the film is a sweet ear candy.
So what we have achieved so far? How about a great script, great music, solid acting, some ass piranhas, a pair of zombies, lots of horror parodies, and a serial killer who is a little light in his loafers. This is enough for me, I smell Oscar. No wait, it's me, I must have fouled me during the movie.Regardless, Freak Out is a winner and is intended to be a favorite of the fans!
Cheap, Sick & Offensive... Perfect! - DriveinMutant -
Two horror nerd intersect with an escaped mental patient, and decide to create their own slaughter-psychopathic bent. Unfortunately for the duo, their student is more interrested in replicas of Dallas murder. Watch as she tries to turn a mild case of mental manner in a slaughter driven slasher, and realize that maybe it was a great idea ...
I love this movie, is a low budget / high concept of the indie horror-comedy that looks as professional as possible an independent film, whichactually manages to be fun.
The 2 Disc DVD is absolutely loaded with extra features. Including several short films and music videos for release. The commentary tracks are almost as fun as the film itself, an (almost) dedicated to the technical aspects of the film and the other with almost the entire cast.
This does not scare anyone, and if you're waiting ... Read comedy you're not even proper hemisphere. But if you are looking for a comedy madefor fans of horror, you can not go wrong.
You're a bum feeler!!! - Johny Bottom - Jacksonville, NC
This film is what it is, an attempt to make an amateur horror / comedy. There are some laughs, but to be honest they are few and far between, making the movie seem like it is 4 hours. Now I'm not saying that this is a bad film, but in the right hands could have been much better. A silly plot, lame special effects, unforgettable holiday-liner, and characters are all musts goofy B-movie, and this flick has it all, but for some reason a lot of jokes or gags did not transfer to film asas did the head of the director.
The writeup on the back of the box promises nudity, no one, except for a scene of a second of a woman who takes his shirt on a television screen that our hero is watching.
The mental patient has escaped a lot of fun and has some good moments, he is my favorite character in the film. I think the main problem with this film is that it only seems to go on and on with no end in sight. Maybe if a half-hour or 45 minutessenseless and pointless movies had been removed, this would be a great little movie now.
Recommended for fans of B-movie, but do not rush out and feel the need to buy it. If you have never seen this film, you have lived a full life.
Wacky horror comedy - Pugmom - Pittsburgh, PA USA
I had high hopes for this, and I must admit I was a little 'disappointed. For some reason I can not put my finger on, did not quite deliver. Maybe it was too silly and unrealistic. Perhaps some of humor, being English, he went over my head.
The acting was great, all three "stars" done their part to the end. For a low-budget, the lighting of the camera, and the sound were all great, as were the sets. Horror fans, presumably the film is oriented, weappreciate the tributes paid to such classics as "Evil Dead", "Friday the 13th" and "Psycho." At one point I thought he was going to take advantage of the "exploitation of serial killer" angle as "Natural Born Killers", but did not go there. Instead it went .... I do not know exactly where.
Basically it was nice, very unusual, but nowhere in the league of "Shaun of the Dead" and "Slither" as horror comedy.
