Fantastic!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Using 80s nostalgia (and featuring Joan Cusack who is an 80's movie Queen) this movie jumps right into action in the opening seconds. In this world zombies are real and even attend High School wearing special neck braces that keep them at bay. Vampires and Zombies also exist and this is all the agreed upon normal way of life. Though, they don't get along well...and there is some violence (ahem) Until aliens arrive and they have to cut their own chaos in order to fight a common enemy. I love the actors in this and am a fan of Mackenzie Davis who was in a spectacular episode of Black Mirror (if you have not seen yet it is a must). I feel like she is a rising star and we will see a lot more of her.

I really liked this, I thought it was pretty great. I don't really understand some of the negative comments it is getting because I thought this was a lot better than some of the stuff that goes into theaters. (at least it was more creative and funnier than some of the big blockbusters out there)Before I saw it I was a little curious about how they were going to incorporate all the different creatures into one movie (I didn't know if it was going to flow well with so much stuff together) But I have to say they did a great job at using each group of monsters in a good way. It didn't feel too bloated, I loved how they established each group and how they all lived together in the same city. I loved seeing them living together and how they cope with their differences. That was my favorite part of the movie.I almost wish the aliens didn't show up because the movie by itself without the aliens was very enjoyable. I don't think the aliens were necessary because the movie was already very strong before it but I understand they needed something to make everyone go crazy.I also loved how they went against each other when the aliens arrived. that was really cool to see, all the chaos they created. This was a great movie with a lot of funny moments and clever writing. i loved everyone in it. Everyone did an excellent job.

People love to give horror comedies a bad rap, thinking that they're unholy bastard children of two unrelated genres. The Wayans Brothers almost single-handedly made this sub-genre synonymous with terrible writing. Freaks of Nature is different. The writing is great throughout, it's legitimately funny and has some great casting. The plot is thoroughly original. It balances coming of age, high school cliques, zombies, vampires, pot heads, aliens, battle scenes, a bit of sports, and more (to avoid spoilers). Bonus for Patton Oswald. Best of all the fights and "kills" don't skimp at all on the blood splatter and surprise. They took a little license with traditional zombie norms of intelligence, but it makes them work.

FREAKS OF NATURE review by Mike Smith "FAT Mike"In the town of Dillford, humans, vampires and zombies were all living in peace until the alien apocalypse arrived. Now it's up to three teenagers, a human, a vampire, and a zombie to survive and bring peace to the once quiet town.Humans, vampires, zombies and aliens oh my! This movie sounds not only ridiculous but like a lame train wreck, but it's not in anyway! Freaks Of Nature picks up and goes at the very start. This unique movie had me laughing from start to finish.This film has an awesome cast of up and comers including Nicholas Braun (Red State), Mackenzie Davis (That Awkward Moment) and Josh Fadem (Miss March). They work really well together and quickly become these characters that you end up loving. The rest of the cast is made up of some well known people; Denis Leary, Bob Odenkirk, Keegan-Michael Key, Joan Cusack, Ian Roberts, Rachael Harris and the funny Patton Oswalt. The whole cast is funny and works amazingly well together. Unlike films similar to Caddyshack where the bigger named stars over power the smaller named actors, Freaks Of Nature doesn't do this and the main cast is the focus.This film has some good practical effects although the C.G. is a bit cheesy, but it gives the film charm. One thing that makes me grade this movie so high is as soon as I finished watching Freaks Of Nature I wanted to watch it again right away.With an awesome cast, ridiculous unique story, laugh out a loud comedy and an all around fun ride I have to say Freaks of Nature is my first must see film of 2016. So sit back and enjoy; cheers and remember live won't suck as long as there is a good movie to watch9 out of 10 Edited by Samantha Lockefollow on twitter: @FatMikeTPK facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FatMikesMovieReviews/
