Why Freaked (1993) Was Too WEIRD for Theaters – The Cult Film They Don’t Want You to See!
Join Dan & Sam, take a deep dive, factoid filled discussion on Hollywood's most famous monsters!
What do you get when you mix Alex Winter, toxic sludge, and a freak show full of mutants? Absolute chaos. In this video, I dive headfirst into Freaked (1993), one of the strangest, most underrated cult comedies of the '90s. Banned in some places, ignored in others, and featuring a totally unrecognizable Keanu Reeves (yes, really), this movie is a fever dream you need to see to believe.
From corporate satire to gross-out gags, Freaked is a bizarre time capsule of early '90s counterculture—and it somehow works. But why did this movie flop so hard? And why is it gaining a cult following now?
Hit play to find out why Freaked might just be the weirdest (and most brilliant?) movie you’ve never seen.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments—have you seen Freaked? Did it melt your brain or make you a believer?
