Watch Freaks of Nature For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Best movie ever!

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

In the small town of Dillford, known for "the riblet" (McRib) there are three major cliques in the town/high school. These are zombies, vampires, and humans. One vampire resembles Edward named Milan Panache (Ed Westwick) from "Twilight" and likes human Petra (Mackenzie Davis) because she is "pale and veiny" There exists quirky situations where the one liners are frequent and humorous. When the aliens attack, a human, vampire, and zombie team together to save the town.This is a campy film. The film is funny, but not hilarious. It is cult in nature, but falls short from being a cult classic. If you liked "The Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" this one I would place a peg below. Not for everyone.Guide: Frequent F-bombs. Sex. Rear nudity.

I had very low hopes that this type of mash-up would be watchable. The trashy concept seemed like something Troma would think up.But, this was a greatly enjoyable film. FoN had a decent budget, decent actors, and a director who absolutely knew what he wanted. I think the sheer audacity of the film makes it a credit to the genre.I found the combination effect of such incredibly separate sub- genres fascinating from start to finish. I loved the over-the-top characters, gore scenes and depth of the story. It was so well balanced, something that would have been very difficult given the outlandish story-line. A lot of respect must go to the writers for the background coverage, and the director/producer for such an entertaining piece of work. This ability seems to have become a lost art.The teen-angst angle was hilarious, for a change. I laughed out loud during several scenes - a sure indication that I'm watching a winner. They took a bunch of stereo-typical situations and ragged on them mercilessly.FoN is a really funny, quality black comedy that you might even want to keep in your collection. I highly recommend it to the true horror fan.

"I think I'm having brain withdrawals." Completely hilarious. That's my feeling about "Freaks of nature". First I was afraid this would be another high school teen-movie. Eventually this turned out to be a rather absurd, horror-comedy. A kind of "Porkies in Zombieland" with vampires, zombies and a crazy army of aliens passing through. Of course the known types of youngsters were used again. As expected. First you have the cool student Dag (Nicholas Braun) who abandoned his friend Ned (Josh Fadem) because this one still acted nerdy. Of course he's madly in love with the girl next door Lorelei (Vanessa Hudgens), who looks tremendously tasty, but ultimately it's an impossible love because she's hooked up with a local jock. And last but not least, there's also the pathetic girl Petra (Mackenzie Davis) who was bullied by everyone. The moment this concept became clear, I sighed again in an irritated way. But after seeing a group of zombies getting of a school-bus and moving towards the school entrance in their well-known manner plus a macho vampire who tries to seduce Petra in the next scene, it became clear that this could well be an entertaining film.It certainly was entertaining. I myself am quite a fussy when it comes to comedy and humor. Rarely it happens that I start laughing spontaneously. Usually it's just a muffled chuckle or a modest smile. But this time there were a few occasions I had to laugh out loud. Especially the zombie community was hilarious. After the alien invasion, each population began to accuse the others and suspected them of participating in a conspiracy. As a result they all held their own public meeting where they encouraged each other to take action. Needless to say, the meeting of the zombie community was the most calm and subdued one. Funny as hell. The principle of differences between the classes was incorporated shrewdly. The interference of a third party which turned all these groups against each other, looks familiar. Only the resulting confrontation is pretty bloody and ends up in a huge splatter fest (Only it's sometimes difficult to distinguish who's attacking who) with quite a few severed limbs.Maybe I'm a bit too enthusiastic about this horror-comedy, because lets be honest, it's a pretty simple story without too many surprises or intricate story lines. It's a mishmash of genres they've mixed together. They've kept it lightly and certainly farcical. It sometimes looked like a slapstick horror. And speaking about horror. You should take that with a grain of salt, because this movie won't give you the creeps. Lets shed a light on the makeup and special effects. The only part that didn't look so great, was the one with the space invaders. That one really looked old-fashioned. The vampires seemed to be borrowed from the "Twilight" saga. It was the zombie mob that looked sublime. Here the makeup artists really used their complete imagination."Freaks of nature" is a true B-movie. Normally the acting is also of a questionable level in that case. Surprisingly this wasn't so bad at all here. I suppose the actors had fun doing this flick, since this was very clear to see sometimes. The most hilarious rendition is that of Josh Fadem. The intelligent nerd who came up with this superb idea so he'd be free of all worries. His facial expressions and way of doing sometimes was enormously funny. And you'll clearly recognize parodies of well-known films. And finally Dag's totally crazy parents. For a moment I thought it was Adam Sandler who played the father. That would be one of his first roles I really could appreciate. The biggest let down was the climax of the story. Too ridiculous for words. But maybe so ridiculous, it became somewhat funny. I'm sure most will forget this film. But as an inbetweener this wasn't so bad, even though there was an oversupply of horror characters.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

There are NO spoilers in my review.This is my first ever review on IMDb which I'm doing because I enjoyed Freaks of Nature so much and I can't believe this movie is rated so low.The only thing negative thing I could say is that the pace did slow down in the middle but it picks up again and I think it needed that slower (read less action) middle for character exposition which gives the movie more heart and left me feeling good rather than just being a completely action filled type of movie with less emotion and soul. I used to like horror but I grew out of it and am not a fan of torture porn horrors - I like gore but only if it's done in a cheesy way in a movie where it is over the top and meant to be funny.It's like that in this film (not extremely excessive but fairly gory) and adding the aliens made the story, action and humor even better. There isn't much 'scary' horror in this.If you liked Evil Dead 2 and 3, Buffy, Angel, Evil Aliens, Beyond Re-Animator etc then you might like this movie too.
