In the small town of Dillford, known for "the riblet" (McRib) there are three major cliques in the town/high school. These are zombies, vampires, and humans. One vampire resembles Edward named Milan Panache (Ed Westwick) from "Twilight" and likes human Petra (Mackenzie Davis) because she is "pale and veiny" There exists quirky situations where the one liners are frequent and humorous. When the aliens attack, a human, vampire, and zombie team together to save the town.This is a campy film. The film is funny, but not hilarious. It is cult in nature, but falls short from being a cult classic. If you liked "The Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" this one I would place a peg below. Not for everyone.Guide: Frequent F-bombs. Sex. Rear nudity.

I really liked this, I thought it was pretty great. I don't really understand some of the negative comments it is getting because I thought this was a lot better than some of the stuff that goes into theaters. (at least it was more creative and funnier than some of the big blockbusters out there)Before I saw it I was a little curious about how they were going to incorporate all the different creatures into one movie (I didn't know if it was going to flow well with so much stuff together) But I have to say they did a great job at using each group of monsters in a good way. It didn't feel too bloated, I loved how they established each group and how they all lived together in the same city. I loved seeing them living together and how they cope with their differences. That was my favorite part of the movie.I almost wish the aliens didn't show up because the movie by itself without the aliens was very enjoyable. I don't think the aliens were necessary because the movie was already very strong before it but I understand they needed something to make everyone go crazy.I also loved how they went against each other when the aliens arrived. that was really cool to see, all the chaos they created. This was a great movie with a lot of funny moments and clever writing. i loved everyone in it. Everyone did an excellent job.

The creatures of the night, like human beings, just can't seem to get along. It has been a continuous struggle since Roy William Neil's 1943 classic, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, the first in an ongoing series of Universal Monster films that introduced the abominations to each other, generally to no avail. Despite being outcasts, maligned to the farthest reaches of humanity, and forced to hide amongst the shadows, these creatures rarely ever saw eye to eye. Then again, they never were meant to. Constructed to represent our darkest fears, the earliest of on-screen monsters resembled the internal struggle mankind faced on a daily basis. It's these fears and distresses that often pit us against each other, a clash of humanity that sees the worst exuding from our every pore. From Frankenstein's misunderstood monster, Larry Talbot's (Wolf Man) fear of what he'll become in life, all the way to Dracula's impenetrable carnal craving that literally leaves a path of corpses in his wake, we have come to embrace our favorite monsters symbolic representations of ourselves. Fast forward to present day, decades after Romero has raised the living to bring us one of the most popular embodiments in horror; the zombie, a symbol of consumerism and our worries of a post-mortem existence. A world that exists years after Anne Rice has given the literary world a resurgence of faith in the vampire mythos with 1976's Interview with a Vampire; an 18th century world where the immortal ones are represented as aristocratic lords, feasting off the lowest common denominator. Vampires have become a class placeholder, representing the privileged and wealthy, with such films as Vampire Academy and We Are the Night. Sure, there are vampires who rest below this unearthed social standing (The Lost Boys, Near Dark), but it's what they represent that raises them into the upper echelon; eternal life, sexual appeal, and desirable strength.Enter Freaks of Nature, a slice of genre pie that relishes the retro vibe of 1950's Americana creature features, all the while taking cues from the class systems of our favorite horror icons. There are the vampires at the top of the food chain, who treat blood sucking as an elevated form of sexual intercourse, walking the halls of Dillford High School with a heightened sense of superiority. Buried at the bottom are zombies, who are portrayed as mindless brain consumers, residing in dilapidated homes with neck braces resembling parolee anklets, their appetite to consume controlled. They are rationed brains in sardine-like cans, and when they are forced to live on without their food, they slowly regain some of their humanity back. It's a brilliant little commentary on the state of America's poverty level; our homeless left to fend for themselves when worst comes to worst. Stuck in the middle are the humans, who coexist in a perpetual state of fear against those more powerful (vampires) than them, and unenvious of those unable to afford the luxuries of life (zombies).Coexisting together for reasons unknown (it's bound to happen, right?), life in Dillford (Home of the Riblet!) lurches forward despite continuing bigotry between the humans and the vampires, while the zombies simply exists as mere pests rather than problems. There's dweeby jock Dag (Nicholas Braun), who despite having caring parents (let alone ones that are alive, played by Joan Cusack and Bob Odenkirk), a fast arm on the baseball diamond, and a pot smoking flirt of a neighbor (Vanessa Hudgens), always finds his position in life less than desirable. Playing counterpoint to Dag's unconfidently cool exterior is Ned (Josh Fadem), who roams the halls between vampiric scorn and ridicule from long-time and long-toothed teacher Mr. Keller, and centuries old yet still high school senior Milan (Ed Westwick), who manipulatively preys on the fair skinned Petra (Mackenzie Davis). All three of our presumably dejected teens, be it love, family, or the absence of both, find themselves at the center of an alien invasion that pits each class system against each other, a bloodbath of monumental proportions commencing....

FREAKS OF NATURE review by Mike Smith "FAT Mike"In the town of Dillford, humans, vampires and zombies were all living in peace until the alien apocalypse arrived. Now it's up to three teenagers, a human, a vampire, and a zombie to survive and bring peace to the once quiet town.Humans, vampires, zombies and aliens oh my! This movie sounds not only ridiculous but like a lame train wreck, but it's not in anyway! Freaks Of Nature picks up and goes at the very start. This unique movie had me laughing from start to finish.This film has an awesome cast of up and comers including Nicholas Braun (Red State), Mackenzie Davis (That Awkward Moment) and Josh Fadem (Miss March). They work really well together and quickly become these characters that you end up loving. The rest of the cast is made up of some well known people; Denis Leary, Bob Odenkirk, Keegan-Michael Key, Joan Cusack, Ian Roberts, Rachael Harris and the funny Patton Oswalt. The whole cast is funny and works amazingly well together. Unlike films similar to Caddyshack where the bigger named stars over power the smaller named actors, Freaks Of Nature doesn't do this and the main cast is the focus.This film has some good practical effects although the C.G. is a bit cheesy, but it gives the film charm. One thing that makes me grade this movie so high is as soon as I finished watching Freaks Of Nature I wanted to watch it again right away.With an awesome cast, ridiculous unique story, laugh out a loud comedy and an all around fun ride I have to say Freaks of Nature is my first must see film of 2016. So sit back and enjoy; cheers and remember live won't suck as long as there is a good movie to watch9 out of 10 Edited by Samantha Lockefollow on twitter: @FatMikeTPK facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FatMikesMovieReviews/
