FREAKY works well because it strikes a perfect balance between slasher / horror and comedy. Vince Vaughn shows some real versatility in his role as The Butcher. Due to the plot's mashing together of FRIDAY THE 13TH and FREAKY FRIDAY, Mr. Vaughn must be both terrifying and hilarious. He succeeds brilliantly.
Kathryn Newton is equally adaptable as Millie. In fact, her shift from insecure high school student to vicious psychopath is a wonder to behold. She takes on an almost reptilian appearance that chills to the bone! Millie transforms into a truly frightening killer.
Are there silly aspects? Yes, but they don't overshadow the idea of playing around with soul transference, mixed with grisly terror.
Highly recommended for horror fans with a functioning funny bone...
