"Freaked"

Ok once again I want to know if people have seen a film and want to know what they think about it. This time...Freaked. It stars the guy who played Bill from Bill and Ted (did you know he also directed a movie once?) it also has MR. T playing a bearded lady. It is about some celebrity who gets mutated or something like that...anyway I was thinking about getting it to see if it's any good but everywhere had it for like £15 on VHS, now my local video shop has it exrental for £2.99.

I'll proberly just buy it anyway I mean it's Bill & Mr. T, people!!!

So if you've seen it, let me know what you think...

I don't think Reeves is credited in the, um... credits

He was only in for a few seconds, then got chased by those eye balls with sub machine guns

The video I have (Yup I brought it) has a picture of Reeves' character on the back and says it's him, it even mentions it on the text on the case...guess mine is just special.

Noticed it was at the start of the tape so put it in to rewind, it came on with a bit where they're trying to escape by discuising themselves as 12 milkman.

I also got Dogtown and Z-boys (check that one out) today, so I have them to watch sometime.

I saw it years ago, it was OK

Bill from Bill & Ted is also in The Lost Boys (for some reason I can't remember his name, even though I know it. I'm excellent with actor's names most of the time)

Freaked was one twisted film though

Quite a good little flick, haven't seen it in ages. Did you know Keanu Reeves is uncredited as the Dog Boy?

Best Bit

Bill: [going along a line of people] "Ah, Nosey. I never really liked you."
Nosey: "Suck My D***"

Great.

Some comments I found by average people:

Creative, original, and completely hilarious flick that I had never even heard of before. Thank God for the Sci-fi channel. They play the most bizarre movies sometime. Freaked stars Alex Winter (Bill S. Preston Esquire) as Ricky Coogan, a child actor who later becomes the spokesmodel for a Tromaville type toxic company, EES (Everything Except Shoes). And of course the EES is an evil company and their Zygrot 24 turns people into hideous mutants, didn't see that one coming did you? Sounds pretty standard huh? Well, it's not. This is one the funniest movies I've seen in a while, and I mean laughing out loud funny. The Christian Slater comment as well as every scene with Stuey the troll boy had me in tears. Look for cameos from Bobcat Goldthwait, Morgan Fairchild, William Sadler, Mr. T (hilarious) and yes Keanu Reeves (Ted Theodore Logan) is Ortiz the dog boy. So Bill and Ted are both in this movie. Rock on. The freak effects which come from Screaming Mad George are hysterical and very bizarre. By the way, Stephan Chiodo (Killer Klowns from Outer Space) is producing this one. So if you're looking for a serious flick, stay away. If you are looking for a awesome cult favorite pick Freaked.

I cant try to explain what makes this movie great. I guess I could try, but it wouldnt come across right in words. Thats because this movie is original. Its style of comedy, everything about it... there's nothing to compare it to. Look at the cover of the video box, it has a quote from John Kricfalusi, the creator of Ren and Stimpy, saying its the funniest film in years. If you ever read any interviews with John K, he's not an easy man to please, and he takes the art of comedy very seriously... how else could have he made Ren and Stimpy? I dont see how this movie has escaped me all this years. Its definately on my top 10 now! It might be hard to find a copy of it, but its worth whatever you have to go through to get it. It shows up on ebay on occaision, and I just got the laserdisc for 3 dollars. Just find it and watch it!

An absolute riot of a movie.Its a shame this movie never got the attention it deserved.It has a witty script,great visuals and a wonderful cast.I actually heard that when the movie was to be released the film company went bankrupt and the movie was shelved for a couple of years.Its a shame cause its a classic.It has to be one of the funniest films I have ever seen.I saw the director's other film "fever" which was very good as well.I hope we will see more from Alex Winter in the future.AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC

It get's so much praise online, I guess I will have to get myself down to the video shop before some punk gets it. For £2.99 i'm taking the risk...it will be worth it just to see MR T playing a bearded lady...

Please still be there (I was so close to buying it earlier, I'll be annoyed if it's gone now) please still be there...
