This really is a freak show with it's flows. I mean, sometimes it's funny especially with the zombies. Just look at the conversation at the end between Ned and his father. There are parts sadly that are a bit boring with long conversations that doesn't really add a thing and aren't funny. On the other hand we do have gory parts when the vamps do come in.Was it a funny movie? For me not really, it do has funny moments as I said but again, the gore adds toward the fun, just look how a tough guy is been eaten by zombies. And look how vamps explode in full bloom when spiked. This flick do deliver on the part of the effects. The zombies all look stunning and the aliens do look great as do their mother ship. A big hooray for the effects. It sure is above mediocre over all and it's the acting of the zombie Ned by Josh Fadem that makes it worth seeing. Like the story is full of freaks and good and bad parts I'm stuck with mixed emotions, still I will recommend it because it do has things for everyone out their, if you're a horror buff of course.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 2/5
... View MoreA much better film than I expected. There's everything in it, all the popular folklore characters in one screen. In addition to that the aliens have also made into it, totally something new. Do think only Marvels bring all its superheroes in one place, see this some B movie did it as well. Since you know where this film belongs, I mean like a second string film, you should expect to a same level in order to enjoy it.First, the writer and director did a good job, followed by the actors. There were three main characters and they were distinct from each other. The supporting cast as well, so good, many decently known names were in that. The story as well had some good twists, since so many concepts was merged, predicting the scenes were kind of impossible. Anytime anything might happen, but overall it was a very well done film. So an enjoyable film with a few laughs.It is the best year so for if you like B movies, Recent films like 'Cooties', 'Scouts Guide...' and a few others, you won't get a treat like this every year. They all are not top notch, but very entertaining, even if you rate them average. So what I'm saying is, this film is not those big production house's big projects, but it delivered to its capacity and you must keep that in your mind while watching it. I can't suggest it, but I hope you watch it.6/10
... View MoreFreaks of Nature is really a curiosity; a town inhabited by zombies, human and vampires, living peacefully until an alien invasion creates havoc and a huge civil war. It has some really comic moments (aided by the presence of comedians like Patton Oswald, Joan Cusack, Keegan-Michael Key, Denis Leary, Bob Odenkirk among others; and a voice cameo from Werner Herzog that is really worth watching).Sadly many times, the movie slow down too much to enter into the clichéd territory of school / teenagers stories, with the romance, the good girl and the slut one, the nerd and the former nerd trying to be cool. If the movie did not sink is because the acting of the three main characters is really good and some secondary characters / situations are hilarious.With all its mistakes; however the movie has a deeper subtext that rise the movie above the classic teenager fare to become a satire on thin equilibrium of a society that looks peaceful but is a time bomb about to explode, the USA concept of family, food and culture; and the rejection of the smarter being just because it is smarter.In brief; if you can digest some gory situations and zombie makeup, the movie is worth to dedicate some time.
... View MoreFreak of Nature was an awesome movie. They put zombies, vampires, and aliens all in the same movie, and made it work. We laughed a lot, there were a lot great moments. A guy gets clotheslined by a clothesline! A zombie lost his arm and then used it to high five. They put all the elements together and they worked. Don't expect any realism or serious plot, this movie is pure entertainment. Supporting cast were excellent, the big draw for us was Joan Cusack, she never fails to disappoint. Dennis Leary was great as the owner of Ribblet Factory, the towns claim to fame, and the reason for the alien attack. If you loved Zombies of Mass Destruction, or The Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse you will love this movie too.
