After a number of years spent playing it straight, Vaughn hurls himself into the role of Freaky’s disembodied co-ed with unabashed glee. It’s easy to forget how gifted a comedian Vince Vaughn is from his more recent output (neither Dragged Across Concrete nor Brawl In Cell Block 99 notable for being giggle-a-minute lol-fests). Vince Vaughn mines every ounce of absurdity from a 6’5” man with the mannerisms of a teenage girl.

Crafting a film that’s gory but never grim, Landon commits early to rolling out the Vor-hee-hees, before setting up Blissfield High as a very camp Crystal Lake. Obscured by a tribal not-hockey mask, the Butcher brings bloody mayhem with items ranging from tennis racquet to toilet seat, all with tongue placed firmly in cheek and shot through with a wicked sense of pitch-black humour.

Beginning with a viscera-strewn prologue in which Vaughn’s towering Butcher dispatches a house full of horny teens, we’re treated to an array of squirm-inducing kills that more than earn the film’s 15 rating within the first five minutes. His latest, Freaky, doubles down on that formula, dialling up both gags and gore to deliver an unashamedly silly splatter-fest that extracts great mileage from a very simple premise.įilmed under the title Freaky Friday 13th (potential trademark infringement being the real terror of this story), Landon’s film wears its influences with pride. After the peppy but predictable Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse, the director struck comedy-horror paydirt with 2017’s Happy Death Day and its equally cheeky sequel. Christopher Landon is, it seems, on a mission to inject some fun back into the horror genre.
