In tonight's edition of our DINNER & A MOVIE of FRIDAY FAMILY FILM NIGHT - the Mister and I review FREAKS (2018), currently streaming on Netflix. Writers and directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, tell the story of a lonely little girl who pines for a normal life with loving family, while trapped in a dilapidated house with her overprotective and super paranoid father who claims he's doing these things to protect her. Lexy Kolker gives a magnificent performance as 7 year old Chloe and we predict, one to watch in the coming years. Emile Hirsch, Bruce Dern, Amanda Crew and Grace Park round out the main characters in the film. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
For a film in a more horror vein, check out 1932's FREAKS by Tod Browning now streaming on Hulu.
Shout out to Tony M for recommending this movie.
