Review – Freak

I’m willing to bet that the box this video came in cost more to produce than the movie itself. This is cheap even by low budget horror standards, not only in production values but also in the quality of the acting (if you can call that acting) and the script (assuming there ever was one). Just about all the usual conventions of film-making, from small things like continuity all the way up to major things like dialogue and story, are almost completely absent from this amateurish mish-mash. What little plot is present appears to have been pilfered from Halloween (escaped psycho on the rampage, and so on). Of all the characters in the movie, the one with the most personality is a pet ferret, and it conveniently – if awkwardly – vanishes from the production after serving its purpose. Wish I’d skipped it
