“Freaky,” a body-swap comedy-meets-slasher film, is co-writer and director Christopher Landon’s second foray into a gimmicky horror-comedy, following the time-loop slashers “Happy Death Day” and “Happy Death Day 2 U.” As with those tremendously entertaining films, Landon finds a way of making “Freaky” more than just a cheap gimmick.
Fittingly released theatrically (to what theaters remain open) on Friday the 13th, “Freaky” stars Kathryn Newton as Millie, a shy, awkward teenage girl grieving the loss of her father, and Vince Vaughn as the Blissfield Butcher, a masked killer in the mold of Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers. A magical dagger causes them to switch bodies on Friday the 13th (naturally), and Millie has 24 hours to reverse the swap or it becomes permanent.
