    This movie was good. It's like if Dark City met a Quiet Place met the X-men. I'm glad that they didn't shy away from brutality.

    Blown Away. Knew nothing of this movie and just was available @ my library. Great acting all around and the story was excellent but the best part was how it all unfolded. A lot of movies kind of tank b/c they either reveal too much too soon- or never enough at all- this one peels off it's layers EXPERTLY!. Some of the acting was really masterful. I almost gave it 5 which is for a few movies only, still contemplating it. If you liked Jumper or Push- this runs along those veins in ways. Just goes to show that when you have a great story with supernatural features in it= it doesn't have to be from MCU- there's plenty of material waiting to be created using the supernatural powers arc. Glad you exploited that to fantastic effect. Thank You for your effort and for the entertainment.

    In films like this one, the child is usually unrealistically smart. In Freaks, the child is unrealistically dumb. It's like everyone around her is speaking a language she doesn't understand. Chloe has multiple decisions to make throughout the story and she somehow makes the worst one 90% of the time. 7 year olds are dumb, but they aren't this dumb. The story was great, but the slow start combined with the constant yelling and whining of the little girl made the movie almost unbearable. Everytime she yelled her eye would bleed, and my ears would bleed at the same time. They could've made her a toddler and her decisions and behavior would make more sense.

    This movie was a big surprise. Unlike typical movies which pull you in with exciting action and character development, but soon fades away to boring and tedious following acts, this movie is the opposite. Starts off like the “The Diary of Anne Frank” for the first 20 minutes; 2-3 actors in a dingy room. Great, I thought, another (extremely) low budget movie just to explore the interaction between a couple of characters, however I absolutely recommend sticking with it. Becomes an amazing script, plot and special effects with great acting, and the ending isn’t too bad either. Deserves the high reviewers and audience score and makes up for some of the other unoriginal tedious repetitive tripe I’ve endured on Netflix.

    Brilliant all round sci-fi thriller. Takes a bit of time to get going but necessary to build the characters.

    Dumbfoundingly amazing that the pro critics have it right! FREAKS is an excellent sci-fi thriller with good direction, production and casting; terrific performances by all — especially by Emile Hirsch; Bruce Dern →a-l-w-a-y-s delivers and — Lexy Kolker is real dynamite! Really looking forward to the next episode!
