ultrasween From Alex Winter of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, comes this hilarious romp chocked full of amazing and creative uses of special effects. This cult favourite follows the story of vain actor Ricky Coogan (Winter) who accepts a promotional job for a company that produces a controversial fertilizer called "Zygrot 24". In order to investigate the chemical's effects, Ricky travels to South America, only to find himself on a mutant-freak farm run by Randy Quaid. Freaked is teeming with off-the-wall performances, zany effects and original jokes. Look out for the great animation in the opening credits, Keanu Reeves as Ortiz the Dawg Boy, and a subtle tip-of-the-hat to Naked Lunch. S

Claudio Carvalho The TV journalist Skye Daley (Brooke Shields) hosts the boastful actor Ricky Coogan (Alex Winter) to tell his recent adventure in Central America. Ricky accepts to promote the toxic fertilizer Zygrot 24 from the E.E.S. Corporation in Santa Flan; in return, he would receive US$ 5,000,000 from the corrupt E.E.S. Chairman Dick Brian (William Sadler). He travels with his best friend Ernie (Michael Stoyanov) to Santa Flan and on the arrival, they meet the gorgeous Julie (Megan Ward), who is protesting against the Zygrot 24. Ricky lures her telling that Ernie and he are protesters and she joins the two friends in a trip to the E.E.S. Soon she discovers the truth but they are in the middle of nowhere and she goes with them. They decide to take a detour to see the Freakland Carnival and they meet the owner Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid) and his henchmen Toad (Jaime Cardriche). Soon they learn that Skuggs is an insane genius that uses a machine that processes the Zygrot 24 to transform normal people into hideous mutants to work in his sideshow. Ricky is transformed in a monster and Julie and Ernie are merged in conjoined monsters. What will happen to our heroes?"Freaked" is a politically incorrect black comedy with a surrealistic story about a sideshow where the attractions are made by the insane owner of the carnival. This film is still funny and cult after watching many times. It is impossible to recognize the uncredited Keanu Reeves, in the role of Ortiz the Dog Boy. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Freaklândia: O Parque dos Horrores" ("Freakland: The Horror Carnival")

millerd_88 Freaked I must say looked like a movie that I'd typically expect to find in the five dollar bin at Wal-Mart, or any other cheap movie bin. However, Freaked seemed to be along the lines of a movie that I thought might be good... Thus, I gave Freaked a chance, and let me just tell you...it was great. Freaked, is full of lame jokes, puns, and just overall fun filth. I suggest you at least rent Freaked once just so you can say you've seen it. It's a very good movie, and worth every moment of insanity, fun, vulgarity, and putrid filth in it. Think along the lines of Monty Python meets... Bad Brains director Peter Jackson, just without all the gore. Pick up Freaked, watch it, love it, and enjoy it. It's very much a movie you'll either love and appreciate, or just come to totally hate.

gavin6942 A young entrepreneur and former child star (Alex Winter) travels to South America for his corporation and tries to get a nasty chemical sold there. Instead, he stumbles upon a freak show and ends up becoming one of them -- deformed due to exposure to (what else?) the very chemical he was trying to market.This film has everything going for it. I thought this was going to get a nine out of ten, and the folks from Netflix thought it would be the best film I ever saw. Randy Quaid, Alex Winter, that guy from "Blossom", Keanu Reeves, Bobcat Goldthwait, Larry Bud Melman, Brooke Shields and William Sadler. What a cast! And the jokes are pretty funny (the airplane joke is hilarious and the Ramada Inn joke was priceless). Even the company name EES (Everything Except Shoes) was amusing. What went wrong? Two things failed for me. First, the jokes from the first half didn't continue into the second half. Many of the more clever moments were used up right away. Actually, I can't recall a good joke from the second half to be honest. And second, the movie relied almost exclusively on the "freaks" to be the entertainment. I didn't find them very interesting. Sure, the makeup department did a fine job. But it's just overkill. They didn't even give Keanu Reeves credit for his role, which I think would have helped the marketing and reception a great deal (you know, it's like a "Bill and Ted 3" or something).Luckily the film is really short (like 73 minutes) so by the time it goes downhill, the movie is nearly over. But the film cannot rely on Brooke Shields to carry it and some of the jokes are just obscure (I liked the racist Frogman joke, but my friend Jason didn't get it). Rent this if your curiosity gets the best of you, but otherwise don't. Ten years from now, this will be even more forgotten than it is right now (if that's possible).
