Freaky Tales Review – A Cinematic Masterpiece of Chaos and Cool

From Anna Boden and Ryan K. Fleck — the directing duo behind Captain Marvel and Mississippi Grind — comes Freaky Tales, a story that pulls from the delirious realms of grindhouse cinema to deliver a modern anthology film for the ages. Set in an alternate reality of Oakland, California in 1987, four intertwined stories unravel in entertainingly bonkers fashion. I can happily, and confidently, declare that this movie is overflowing with visual flair, kinetic energy and more coolness than Fonzie himself.

Four loosely connected stories featuring 80’s grunge, neo-Nazis, hired muscle (Pedro Pascal), crooked police (Ben Mendelsohn) and Warriors basketball unwind with violent and unexpected results.
The review Pedro Pascal as Clint
If ever there was a movie catered to my exact tastes, Freaky Tales is it. Simultaneously feeling utterly unique and an amalgamation of 70’s and 80’s exploitation, we’re treated to four distinct and compelling stories.
