    A company that produces a toxic chemical tries to improve its image via a popular spokesperson, Ricky Coogan. Ricky travels to South America to get a first-hand look at the chemical's effects and finds himself at a mutant freak farm. Elijah, who runs the farm, is only too happy to have new subjects on which to try his freak machine. The very chemical that Ricky is supposed to promote is the one responsible for creating the great variety of freaks.

    From the moment I first spotted photos of Alex Winter as Beast Boy in the pages of Fangoria a decade and change ago, I knew I had to see Freaked. Twentieth Century Fox clearly wasn't as keen on the movie as I was, giving it an extremely limited theatrical run (y'know the cliché – Freaked wasn't released; it escaped) and then dumping the movie on home video. Aside from message board posts saying "wow, it'd be neat if someone put out Freaked on DVD", I hadn't really seen much of anything about the movie between the last time I cracked open that issue of Fango and this afternoon, when I tore the shrinkwrap off this shiny two-disc set from Anchor Bay and dove right in. This is the type of elaborate special edition that can make a twelve year wait really not seem all that bad, teeming with oodles of extras and boasting a spiffy widescreen transfer.

    Freaked (1993) [Special Edition] [Re-UP]

    Freaked revolves around stuck-up actor Ricky Coogan (Alex Winter), who's being paid millions to trot down to South America and promote a widely-banned fertilizer concocted by corporate megolith Everything Except Shoes. With his pal Ernie (Michael Stoyanov) in tow, Rick trots over to Santa Flan to kick off his overpriced promotional tour, and he quickly bumps into an overly vocal protester named Julie (the too-cute-for-words Megan Ward). Even though Julie wants to pelt Ricky with cow shit, his deft disguise dupes her into tagging along on their South American road trip, and after buzzing past a bunch of billboards for a local freak show, she convinces 'em to stop for a peek. It's after hours, so it's too late for freak-master Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid) to give them the grand tour, but he does the next best thing – using EES' toxic fertilizer sludge and transforming the three of them into hideous mutant freekz.

    Freaked (1993) [Special Edition] [Re-UP]

    Rick has been partially gremlinized, and Julie and Ernie have merged into some sort of half-feminist, half-misogynist abomination. They're forced to perform with the rest of Skuggs' freak show, which includes a college accredited worm, a mutant who's more nose than man, a cowboy in the most literal sense of the word, a tourist with a sock puppet for a head (voiced by Bob Goldthwait), a busty pinhead, a horrifying frogman, a fire-farter, their charismatic, dog-faced leader, and, of course, a bearded lady (Mr. T). Although Ricky doesn't take well to freak-dom, his instant popularity with the crowd puts his fellow freaks at risk, and through no fault of his own, he cobbles together a scheme for them to bring down Skuggs and his mutant-molding machinations once and for all.

    Okay, Freaked isn't exactly a plot-driven flick, and a stale, paragraph-long synopsis really doesn't do anyone any good. As long and rambling as that description was, I've barely scratched the surface of how fascinatingly odd this movie is, so…ignore everything I've scribbled down so far. Take the slapstick and make-up effects from Army of Darkness, the comedic sensibility of movies like UHF and Tapeheads, and every issue of Fangoria and Mad published between 1987 and 1993, then toss 'em in the cuisinart, whack a bunch of buttons, and watch something like Freaked dribble out. If that sounds like an intriguing combination, then…great! We can be best friends forever and bond over our soon-to-be-mutual love 'n admiration of Freaked. If not, then…why are you still reading?

    Freaked (1993) [Special Edition] [Re-UP]

    First of all, I feel obligated to point out the genuinely impressive effects work. There's a lot of elaborate make-up work here, and even though Freaked was shot before CGI was a standard part of the effects toolkit, an awful lot of it still holds up really well today. It's not just the skill of Screaming Mad George and the small army of other people who contributed (and their work here was nominated for a Saturn Award in '94), but how clever the make-up design is. Alex Winter's half-transformed gremlin make-up impresses me as much today as it did twelve years ago, and I love the Rat Fink-ish approach to the mammoth mutants in the climax. If I were to list every effect I liked, I'd wind up running through pretty much everyone in the very large cast, but fans of practical make-up effects will find a lot to appreciate in Freaked.

    Freaked (1993) [Special Edition] [Re-UP]

    Despite the onslaught of grotesque make-up effects, Freaked is a comedy and doesn't have any horror pretensions, which is really just as well since no subgenre is more riddled with failures than the horror-comedy. Freaked continually thumbs its foam-rubber-latex-covered nose at convention. When Ricky's introduced to the other freaks, instead of having one character exposition-tastically go down the line and rattle off everyone's name, rank, and serial number, it's played as a game show. Also skewered are the anthemic music that invariably accompanies the obligatory building-up-to-the-climax montage, Our Hero filling the rest of his crew in on what his brilliant plan is for the final reel, unconvincing rear projection, overdramatic death scenes, arbitrarily-timed tunnel collapses, those "gasp!"-inducing shock moments that invariably wind up in the last couple of minutes in a movie… Lotsa stuff.

    Freaked (1993) [Special Edition] [Re-UP]

    The really frustrating thing about trying to write a review like this is that I want to list how brilliant so much of the comedy is, but since a lot of the fun is that the jokes come from so far out of left field, going into any detail would just wind up spoiling everything. If I said something about the absurdity of thirteen milkmen, machine-gun-toting Rastafarian eyeballs, or twelve-armed, gender-ambiguous worker drones, it wouldn't sound nearly as funny as what happens in the movie, so just take it on faith. If you like the touchstones I pointed to earlier – Tapeheads and UHF by way of Fangoria – then you'll appreciate Freaked's sense of humor too. Promise. Some of the jokes do flop and flounder, but this is the sort of movie that takes a machine-gun approach, so it's inevitable that some'll miss the mark. More than enough of 'em work for this to be one of the funniest movies I've seen all year, and since all I do is sit perched in front of my TV and watch DVDs all day, that really does kinda mean something. It's also worth noting how lean the movie is, clocking in at 72 minutes minus the opening and closing credits. Freaked keeps the momentum of comic absurdity bounding forward for the entire length of the movie, so it's never given a chance to drag.

    Freaked (1993) [Special Edition] [Re-UP]

    Freaked requires a very specific sense of humor to appreciate. I have it. You probably don't, 'cause if lots of people did, Fox would've given it a huge release, it would've grossed tens of millions of dollars, Alex Winter and Tom Stern would both be name directors, and we'd all be puttering around in flying cars or something. No, it's not for everyone, and no, not all of the comedy holds up all these years later, and no, it's not Shakespeare (although…wait! some of it is), but Freaked is a movie that's very deservedly managed to amass a cult following over the past decade or so, and the stellar job Anchor Bay's done in bringing it to DVD should make that cult at least a little larger.

    Freaked (1993) [Special Edition] [Re-UP]

    If you have the skewed sense of humor necessary to get much out of it, this two-disc set of Freaked looks great, sports a genuinely funny, unique comedy, and boasts hours of extras that really are worth taking the time to watch. Alex Winter and Anchor Bay have gone to impressive lengths to make sure fans get their money's worth, and…yeah, it's highly recommended.
