Vince Vaughn has been showing his acting versatility. He does more than the sarcastic comedy role. I was a bit surprised — in a good way — by the brutal nature of his participation in Brawl In Cell Block 99, and now he’s starring in a horror-comedy vehicle from Blumhouse called, Freaky.
…can’t say director Christopher Landon doesn’t have a vision. With Happy Death Day and its sequel, the filmmaker mined a comedic concept for horror (without excising the comedic component). Now, he’s doing it again. Freaky takes the body-swap gimmick popularized by Freaky Friday and asks what might happen if a bullied teen girl switched bodies with a hulking serial killer.

The official trailer:
This looks pretty entertaining and the release date, although happening after Halloween, seems well-placed.
Blumhouse, at least from attempts (not always execution) is just knocking it out of the park with horror subgenres, remakes, anthologies, they’re all over the horror map making the studio a name to reckon with in the space. Looking very forward to seeing this one, you?
Freaky is opening wide in theaters on Friday the 13th, November 2020

My birthday is one week earlier. This is like a belated birthday present. 🙂 Oh, and speaking of Vince Vaughn, have you seen him in True Detective Season 2? His role is all I remember from that Season 2.
