Freaks of Nature is a rarity in that I saw this trailer and then thought I HAVE TO SEE THIS FILM RIGHT NOW!!!
However, it’s not out until an as-yet-unspecified date in 2016, so we’ll all have to be patient. The US get it on October 30th, this year.
The film stars Denis Leary, who once sang in 1997, “Life’s gonna suck when you grow up. It sucks pretty bad right now”, and it does indeed suck for the inhabitants of this town as the place is going to hell in a handcart. We’ve all seen films that contain zombies, films that contain vampires and films that contain aliens trying to take over the world but…. all together??
The film is set in the town of Dillford, where three days ago, everything was peaceful and business as usual: the vampires were at the top of the social order, the zombies were at the bottom, and the humans were getting along in the middle. But this delicate balance was ripped apart when the alien apocalypse arrived in Dillford and put an end to all the harmony. Now it’s humans vs. vampires vs. zombies in all-out, blood-sucking, brain-eating, vamp-staking mortal combat – and all of them are on the run from the aliens. It is up to three teenagers – one human, one vampire, and one zombie – to team up, figure out how to get rid of the interplanetary visitors, and try to restore order to this “normal” little town.
Freaks of Nature also stars Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Mackenzie Davis (The Martian), plus Ed Westwick, Joan Cusack, Keegan-Michael Key, Cerina Vincent, Bob Odenkirk, Patton Oswalt, Chris Zylka, Rachael Harris and Aurora Perrineau.
