FREAK OUT
What do you do with a serial killer that doesn’t know how to kill or be scary?
THE PLOT
Merv and Onkey are two best friends who are also big slackers, one works in a video store while the other works at the bowling alley. An escaped killer from the local mental asylum falls into their lap and they set about turning him into the perfect serial killer. The only problem is that their perfect killer thinks a spatula is scary and feels bad about slashing people up.
FUN TRIVIA
This movie went straight to video and DVD in the US.
The people that created this movie spent nearly five years filming and saw Looney the serial killer played by at least eight different people.
THOUGHTS/OPINIONS
This movie is horrible, even for a horror movie parody. Freak Out feels like it was created by a couple of guys just learning how to use a video camera. It also feels like they got high, decided to make a movie and figured that they didn’t really need a script. Honestly I don’t know what possessed me to sit down and watch this movie or how I made it all the way through.
