How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delirious body-swap horror-comedy that mines genuine scares and gore from the premise of a teenage girl trapped in a serial killer's body and vice versa. It's silly and brutal in equal measure, trading between laugh-out-loud moments and real dread.

Reviews
We've seen the adult male/teenage girl version of it before 2002's The Hot Chick, but Freaky adds a horror twist which makes it different and fresh. Teen horror is my favorite horror, so even though I think this was just "good", I can see it joining the annual October rotation.
