Watch Freaky Faron For Free

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Load of rubbish!!

hyped garbage

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Wow, this movie wasn't what I expected. It does have sci-fi elements, yes, but what you're actually getting is kind of understated film noir in the vein of "Maltese Falcon"...but for kids. It's a pretty cool experiment and to me it really works. Yes, it's talky, but in the way that those classic Bogart mysteries were talky--there's a lot of information in the dialogue and if you pay close attention you can see the mystery unfolding in your head. You have to keep up with Faron. It's nice to see a movie that doesn't lead you by the hand, but rewards you for doing some sleuthing on your own. It's low budget, so the picture quality isn't great, but it makes up for it with some nifty lighting and composition. The atmosphere feels like an 80's kids' movie. It made me remember what it was like to sneak around my neighborhood at night as a kid. If that sounds cool to you, you should check it out! Note to parents: This movie isn't rated, but there's no language, violence, nudity or sexual innuendo.

It isn't Sci-Fi at all. There's plenty of talk of aliens, and it has a fun creepy feel to it, but this film is about mental illness, delusion, and personal growth. By halfway through you should be seriously doubting whether the whole thing is her delusion, and by the end there should be little doubt in your mind that it is, even without the final scene where she decides to leave her delusion behind. There's definitely a low-budget feel to it, and the acting is hit-and-miss (i thought there were some nice moments), but overall this is a great film. Oh and it's worth mentioning that this is one of the few films available that not only has a female lead, but most of the supporting roles are female too - refreshing.

Freaky Faron starts off well, or at least it belies it's obviously low budget with an interesting premise behind it's main character. Unfortunately It ends up feeling as though it was written by one of it's young cast members. If that had been the case, I would have thought it an excellent first effort. Alas, no. I can't hate Freaky Faron. It wasn't good, but I can't hate it. The acting was emotionless for the most part (less a fault of the actors and more a fault of the script and direction), but I don't think the premise should be abandoned. With a budget, cast, and some (a lot) of plot development, I really think it might make a great TV series or at least a better movie.

Just saw this movie. The acting was good, the plot boring, and where was the suspense, thriller, or horror in this movie. It seems to have been made as a TV movie for the ABC Family channel, or Disney channel. A very safe movie. Courtney is a very good actress, she moved the movie along, but deserves a better vehicle and scrip. I can not say more without giving away the ending, but there were so many holes in the plot, and not believable situations, that it was hard to even suspend disbelief. For an after school movie might have been nice, but the synopsis, and other comments supporting this movie on Netflix were misleading. I was hoping to see something scary, or suspenseful, instead, I was wishing for the movie to end.
