very impressed with this film, 22 May 2001
Author: hyann3444 from Louisville, KY

Being an aspiring filmmaker, I watch tons of lower budget films to find out what I'm up against (That's really an excuse. I watch them anyway.) When I watched FREAK, it wasn't what I expected, because it turned out to be a rather serious film. It didn't have any exploitive elements like most of the films I've been watching. And thank god, none of the characters spouted off any one-liners-- NOTHING kills a movie faster. I don't set my expectations high for any of the movies that I rent and I was very impressed with this film.
