10 Upcoming Movies With GENIUS Concepts
10. Freaky
The body-swap movie is such a delightful, easily marketable concept that it's genuinely surprising nobody's ever tested it out on the horror genre before.
Freaky, the new film from Happy Death Day filmmaker Christopher Landon, sees high schooler Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton) accidentally swapping bodies with a serial killer known as The Butcher (Vince Vaughn).
In addition to having to worry about The Butcher murdering her classmates while residing within her body, Millie has just 24 hours to get her body back or she'll end up trapped as the serial killer forever more.
A delicious mash-up of Freaky Friday and Friday the 13th - enough that the film's original title was even Freaky Friday the 13th - Freaky looks like it's going to back up its inspired logline with a go-for-broke performance from Vince Vaughn as a teenage girl inside the body of a middle-aged serial killer.
Better yet, for those who complained that the Happy Death Day movies were hamstrung by their tame PG-13 rating, Freaky is R-rated all the way, baby.
