The concept of using crude high school humor with a gory horror story is a route directors have been continually making the past ten years. Freaks of Nature is a prime example of this trend by throwing in a plot about the co-existence of teenage humans, zombies and vampires with raunchy one-lines. The comedy for the most part was more hit than miss, very funny at parts but was a little too ridiculous at points. The idea of combining monster genres was a clever idea, the film managing to mesh teenage inner-drama (the world being a cruel existence) along with the evolution of becoming a monster, such as been bitten at the neck by a vampire or on the foot by a zombie. The moral that becoming a hideous monster isn't as far off as becoming an adult human. Enjoying the humor and original substance, I still couldn't find myself thinking this was a good movie at the end of watching it. The plot was scattered, scenes weren't continuously edited right, and the ending completely weakened and fell apart after the primary middle scene, which everything in the beginning built up to.
