Freaky (2020)

This was a lot more fun than I’d thought it would be. In this teen comedy-horror hybrid, Vince Vaughn is a serial killer who magically switches bodies with a teenaged Kathryn Newton. Unfortunately there wasn’t a lot of characterization of the killer before the switch so Newton isn’t given a whole lot to mimic when she becomes the killer. At that point, she just gives pissed off vibes. As with a lot of high school films, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense as to why she’s bullied at school and the movie is too lazy to bother with any type of reasoning. What saves the film is Vaughn being great in both roles. He could believably play a menacing serial killer in a serious slasher film but is also rather funny when playing a teenaged girl.
