	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Travers ABC News	"If you're looking to laugh out loud while being scared senseless, hook up with 'Freaky'"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"An ingenious slasher movie spin on 'Freaky Friday' is both fun and funny and features an unlikely, pitch perfect performance from Vince Vaughn (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"[The leads' efforts] are too often diluted by the film’s lazy plotting and Millie’s hackneyed emotional baggage."
		Peter Debruge Variety	"As a meta entry in that most disposable of genres, the teen slasher movie, 'Freaky' manages to feel original, which is saying something"
		Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"A fun, frisky, and nostalgic ride that delivers laughs, various inventively bloody kills, and on occasion, even some 21st-century-appropriate observations on gender norms and sexuality (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Although Landon and co-screenwriter Michael Kennedy have latched onto a winning concept (...) they’ve freighted the film with so many trite life-lesson moments that the fun gradually drains from the narrative"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Armed with his trademark wit and a pair of wonderfully game stars, 'Freaky' might not be Landon’s best, but it’s well worth the wacky trip."
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"'Freaky' is as pulpily enjoyable as its high-concept promises (...) It’s got a cheerful, self-knowing vibe"
		James Dyer Empire	"'Freaky' extracts great mileage from a very simple premise (...) A fresh, funny and thrilling addition to the year’s horror pantheon (...) It strikes a perfect balance of comedy and carnage (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Director Christopher Landon’s return to horror-comedy lacks that “Happy Death Day” spark but has its pleasures"
		Simon Thompson IGN	"Freaky's ingenious premise is so simple it is almost shocking that no one has come up with it until now (...) one of the most entertaining films of the year and more than lives up to the promise of its fun trailer."
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Freaky is a love letter to slashers and teen movies, but it’s also a comforting cinematic hug dripping in blood."
		Drew Taylor Collider	"A fun, frantic, horror/comedy mash-up that works shockingly well and is anchored by two of the more delightful, committed performances you’ll see all year."
		Andrew Parker The Gate	"A film that’s ultimately done in by overestimating its own sense of cleverness and creativity"
