10 Slasher Horror Movies That Had No Right To Be This Good

Best known for his light-hearted comedy persona, the idea of Vince Vaughn playing a serial killer had many scratching their heads when we saw that he was starring in horror-comedy Freaky.

A playful twist on the body swap format, this premise sees Vaughn's malicious murderer (known only as The Butcher) trade places with everyday teenager Millie (Kathryn Newton) after accidentally invoking a ritual.

The opening scene, with its bone-crunchingly violent kills and self-aware nods to the slasher genre, let viewers know they're in for fun ride right from the start. But it's not until the body swapping begins that this film (directed by Happy Death Day's Christopher Landon) comes into its own.

Proving all the doubters wrong, Vaughn is the main highlight here. His comedic prowess is on full display as he portrays an awkward teenage girl. And anyone who saw him in Brawl In Cell Block 99 will be familiar with how intimidating of an onscreen presence he can be, too. In Freaky, Vaughn leans into both these personas without missing a single beat.

While this flick does fall into familiar cliches and tropes, though the faults don't dampen any of the slasher goodness in this endlessly entertaining outing.
