From the deliciously debased mind of writer-director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, the Paranormal Activity franchise) comes a pitch-black horror-comedy about a slasher, a senior, and the brutal truth about high school.
In Freaky (formerly titled as Body Swap), Seventeen-year-old Millie Kessler is just trying to survive the bloodthirsty halls of Blissfield High and the cruelty of the popular crowd. But when she becomes the newest target of The Butcher, her townâs infamous serial killer, her senior year becomes the least of her worries. When The Butcherâs mystical ancient dagger causes him and Millie to wake up in each otherâs bodies, Millie learns that she has just 24 hours to get her body back before the switch becomes permanent and sheâs trapped in the form of a middle-aged maniac forever. The only problem is she now looks like a towering psychopath whoâs the target of a city-wide manhunt while The Butcher looks like her and has brought his appetite for carnage to Homecoming. With some help from her friendsâultra-woke Nyla, ultra-fabulous Joshua and her crush Booker âMillie races against the clock to reverse the curse while The Butcher discovers that having a female teen body is the perfect cover for a little Homecoming killing spree.
