Freaky (2020): Body Swapping Slasher Fun

from The Weekly Movie Throwdown

It's October, which means spooky season. So Mike and Steven are kicking off a month of horror discussions with a caveat: the frights in these films are few and far between. Call them horror lite. Things get kicked off with Freaky, a body-swapping horror-comedy from director Christopher Landon. It stars Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn, who knock it out of the park in this fun, stylish slasher story.IN THE NEWS THIS WEEK:Paywalled PeanutsTilly Norwood: Tinseltown's New AI Actress_______________________STILL TO COME THIS MONTH:10/13: 13 Ghosts (1960), dir.
