Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sadly Over-hyped

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

THIS IS THE WEBSITE CUT OF FREAK OUT // Its a good movie for what it is, Brad Jones' first movie with small budget. The reason I say this is it's an acquired taste. The fact is however, it is only on release at thecinemasnob.com and has no DVD release. Any viewer of the film almost certainly is a Brad Jones fan, and will probably like this movie.The greatest part of Freak Out is its horror, characters, and plot. The story is well paced and developed. Brad Jones is great as Dean Corll, pulling off a very, very haunting performance. (Warning: a very NC-17 serial killer performance. I don't want to get into further details, and I don't even think IMDb would let me.) The second and third acts of this movie are chilling and completely unpredictable, if you stuck around through the first act, just be ready for anything...Acting outside of Dean is a bit shaky, ranging from just adequate to almost mediocre. Line delivery can be very boring, and seem to actually fit into the cheap style of this film, which seems unintentional in my eyes. It felt that supporting characters acting in this film are just simply not ambitious at all. This doesn't mention the fact that many of these characters are supposed to be teenagers, which just doesn't look right. Everyone seems to be in their mid-20s.The cheap technical style of this movie seems to be the strongest in this movie, making the film a little less appealing than Jones' others. Editing in this movie is also a little off. There's a scene in this movie which has a random cut to somebody putting on a backpack. Never to be seen again. Also the sound quality is a bit on the mediocre side, music is playing in the actual scene usually rather than in post-production, the car scenes are OK with this at the very most, but the opening disco scene feels horribly cheap.I am personally a big Brad Jones fan so I may have a little bias, but I can assure you, for those who like these types of movies, meaning low-budget alternative B-movies, this is a excellent film.

This is far from a movie for the squeamish. Those easily offended or with stringent moral qualms with anything out of the mainstream, then "Freakout", the first full length movie directed by famed Internet critic Brad Jones won't work. A cinematic experience for those with tastes for the… different, this flick pushes boundaries.Based upon the real life story of the last night in the life of notorious killer, Dean Corll, it's not a spot-on retelling. There are some liberties taken with the details, such as the time period and the location, but the base story remains intact. Set in the late '70s in the Midwest, "Freakout" features Brad Jones as Dean Corll, a reclusive electrician, who secretly pays Tim (Nick Foster) and David (Buford Stowers) to bring young men and teenagers, which meet horrific and unfortunate ends by his hands.Done on a small budget, with no professional actors, you won't expect much, at first. Not many of them, with the notable exception of Brad Jones, are naturals. The lighting can be overly dark, the camera isn't always in focus, and the voice work can be a bit muddled and difficult to hear. However, don't let that fool you. This is a very intense movie, especially in the last 10 to 15 minutes. In spite of the financial and technological limitations, "Freakout" works. The dialogue is especially solid, a great sign of things to come with Mr. Jones' future projects.Corll is legitimately intimidating and scary, especially psychologically. He is a serial killer, who tries to take the torture of his victims into an art form in itself, desiring to always be creative and innovative. He shows himself to be both unstable and highly intelligent.A very fun part of this movie is in its soundtrack. According to Mr. Jones' introduction, he changed the setting of the movie from the early '70s to the late '70s just so he'd have an excuse to throw in a swinging '70s disco soundtrack. And it honestly works. The disco music works well as a backdrop to the constant drug use and overall thematic tone utilized in this picture.As duly noted before, this is not a movie for the easily offended. It depicts graphic drug use, constant strong language, as well as scenes of torture and rape. This is not a film for those with standard sensibilities. But those who yearn for the unconventional may find a bit of gruesome delight in "Freakout."
