What You Need To Know:

FREAKY is a horror movie about a serial killer who attacks a female high school student, Millie, with an ancient Aztec knife that causes them to switch bodies. The police take the knife, which was left at the scene of the attack. The serial killer, in Millie’s body, has found a new potential victims at the high school. Millie, in the killer’s body, and her two friends must steal the knife from the police and switch the bodies back to stop the killer.

FREAKY has some intense moments where Millie and her friends try to stop the serial killer, but the movie starts with the gruesome slaughter of one family by the killer. The father is an antique dealer, and that’s where the killer gets the magical Aztec knife. The movie has two endings, and both are anti-climactic. The movie’s occult worldview is mitigated by the fact that the high school students are trying to stop a vicious serial killer. However, one of the high school students is a homosexual male. FREAKY also contains lots of strong foul language and extreme violence.
