Sunday Night at the Movies: Freaked 1993

 Hey, all sorry for the lateness. I have been moving that took all of my time, no sleep also.

This is a movie I've wanted to post for a long time now. I wanted to post it on Bond's old channel but thought the climate there was too toxic. This movie is not for everyone. It is a 90s movie that reminds me of those times just when ruder, and more surrealistic and absurdist humour style movies were being produced. There are lots of star appearances here, like Brooke Shields, Mr T, etc. This is a weird film, but I really think it captures the kind of teenage feeling of the 1990s, if you know anything about that...

Freaked is a 1993 American comedy film directed by Tom Stern and Alex Winter, both of whom wrote the screenplay with Tim Burns. Winter also starred in the lead role. Both were involved in the short-lived MTV sketch comedy show The Idiot Box, and Freaked retains the same brand of surrealistic and absurdist humor as seen in the show. Freaked was Alex Winter's last feature film before he shifted to cameo and television films for many years until 2013's Grand Piano.

Originally conceived as a low-budget horror film featuring the band Butthole Surfers,[1] Freaked went through a number of rewrites, eventually developing into a black comedy set within a sideshow, which was picked up by 20th Century Fox for a feature film. After several poor test screenings and a change in studio executives who then found the film too "weird", the movie was pulled from a wide distribution (except for Australia and Japan) and only played on a handful of screens in the United States.


This film did not meet with critical acclaim, but if you're nostalgic of the 90s, then perhaps you should watch.
