The best film about a camp vegetarian serial killer ever!, 27 February 2004
6/10
Author: Sparagmos from United Kingdom

I went along to a preview screening of Freak Out not really sure what to expect. I didn't have any clue what the film was about, and hadn't heard of any of the cast or crew, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a low budget British comedy slasher film. The basic plot is after capturing the person who tried to murder him, Merv Doody decides with the help of his friend Onkey to train him up to become the new Freddy Kreugar. The film clearly owes a debt to the Scream franchise, only while not as clever or as scary as the Scream movies it is much more funny.

At a £30,000 budget you get a lot of what you expect (and probably also want). Unknown actors, shaky camera work, immature (yet very funny humour) and gloriously enjoyable low budget death scenes. However you also get a lot of things you would not expect, such as a quality soundtrack, professional editing and cameos from Less Than Jake. While it's not in the league of the low budget modern classics of Clerks and The Blair Witch Project, it certainly deserves to gain a cult following once released on video. After all, how many films feature a camp vegetarian as their main villain?
