Very well executed

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Starring the other half of Bill & Ted Alex Winter alongside William Sadler, Brooke Shields, Randy Quaid, Bobcat Goldthwaite, Mr T & a cameo appearance by Morgan Fairchild this bizarre horror comedy is better than it should have been.What I mean by that is it's stupid really really stupid.It tells the story of an actor who sells out and becomes the spokesperson for an evil chemical company. Somewhere along the way he and his friends fall foul of a twisted freakshow owner who doesn't find his freaks, he makes them!Full of slapstick humour this will appeal to people who like the old Airplane (1980) movies. If you don't like a joke then fear not because another will be along in a matter of seconds.The humour is purile but it works very well as one of those take your brain out pieces of entertainment.With "Freaks" like the dog boy, beast boy, the worm, the nose, sock man, and the crazy frogman (Which is a guy in a diving suit) *Badamstish* the creature effects are excellent and deserved the awards they won.If you're seeking something harmless but stupid this right here is for you.The Good:Creature effectsSome jokes really hit the markThe Bad:Painfully dumb in placesThings I Learnt From This Movie:Being half cocked isn't what it's cracked up to beI can't look at Randy Quaid anymore without seeing him humping his wife while she's wearing a Rupert Murdoch maskBobcat Goldthwaite makes everything better

One of my favorite movies not going to say anything other than it is on DVD if you look for it hard enough. I've had mine for years with all kinds of Freakish Features on two discs. Such an awesome movie. I have watched it with the commentary several times also just because. Hilarious and there are plenty of cameos!!

whoa. vile and creepy. but awesomely funny nonsense. and boy did this have fantastic make up and gore effects. but most of all i couldn't stop laughing and i couldn't take my eyes off of it's vile maliciousness. it was fascinating and strangely absorbing.i don't even want to describe the plot. i don't want to to remind myself of it and blow my brains up. but that doesn't mean it was a bad movie, just a really freaky one. a lot of this was even a little scary. if not frightening. but it carries on with such gleeful and humorous insanity, that it ends up being more funny than disturbing.although i suppose good caution should make a viewer wary of all this. there was a lot of spite and malice here and a almost fatalistic pessimism. but it's so darned funny you're almost unaware of it.i hadn't seen this movie in a very long time. not since it first came out. i remember liking it but it didn't make much of a impression on me and i remembered almost nothing about it. having seen it again recently for the first time since it's release (or shall we say escape?) on to video, i'm surprised i didn't remember this wicked lunacy better. i mean this is grotesque stuff but man is it vivid and memorable.i'd have to say this was a very well made movie even if it was freaky and creepy. it's comedy was effective and the make up and robotics were out of this world. as to what is this movie's purpose or pointed message? i have no idea but it must be a doozy. i just don't want to think about it.

The not-so-excellent adventures of toxic chemical company spokesman Alex Winter (as Ricky Coogan) and his pal Michael Stoyanov (as Ernie) are told, in flashbacks, to talk-show host Brooke Shields (as Skye Daley). The beauty appears briefly. Joined by pretty protester Megan Ward (as Julie), the trio are turned into mutant freaks by hairy, hammy Randy Quaid (as Elijah C. Skuggs), in South America (allegedly). Then appears an army of beasts. "Freaked" absolutely shows make-up and special effects can be superior to lame comedy, which certainly wasn't the point being made here. Keanu Reeves sports a great tail. Beauty is only skin deep, but humor goes right to the funny bone.*** Freaked (9/11/93) Tom Stern, Alex Winter ~ Alex Winter, Randy Quaid, Michael Stoyanov, Megan Ward
