Review in a Nutshell: Freaked is a truly strange comedy with incredible special effects, amazing production design, and a surprisingly diverse cast. It has to be seen to be believed.
The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast 
One of my favorite movies since I was fifteen. It explains a lot.
SQUIRREL!
‘Up’ totally stole that from this movie.
Watched this late one night in a double feature including Chris Elliot’s Cabin Boy. It was…damaging and glorious
Only seen this movie once and like Goob, it was a late-night cable discovery situation.
I have to agree with Goob’s assessment. It felt like the timing was way off.
Chris, my co-host on DEEP Hurting, has been bugging me to watch this for like 10 years to watch this movie. I guess I better watch it.
Also, it’s crazy to see a Geekscape person on a non-geekscape podcast.
I remember reading about this movie in Fangoria. I was eagerly awaiting this film to come out. I may have been the only one.
I went into this podcast thinking I was being exposed to something entirely unknown and yet a short while into the recording I realized I’d actually seen this movie at least a couple times, long, long ago. It’s a bit mystical as I don’t quite remember where, when, or how I saw this though I have my suspicions (true story: my family accidentally got HBO for about 5 years in the mid/late 90s presumably due to a cable company SNAFU). I definitely remember watching this with my dad at some point though. So thanks for the memory jog, though it’s really too bad it’s only available on VHS (as far as I can tell).
@Joni
It’s more than likely you caught this movie on HBO in the mid-90s as it was a staple on that network. My dad was a cable repair guy when I was a kid, so we got all the premium channels for free (and pay-per-view for 50% off). This ran on HBO a ton in 1996. My brother and sister and I used to watch it *all* the time.
@Joni. It’s actually now available on a double disc DVD. It’s worth the purchase if you’re a fan of the movie because the special features are incredible (specifically one about how the make-up was done).
