We’ve already shared the Official Trailer and the Slaughterhouse Clip so click that hyperlinked text to see them if you’d like and then peruse the official poster, premise and casting on this one before I close it up.

Well hello again my friends, I am back to discuss the Universal Pictures Horror/Comedy “Freaky” with you once again. When we last met it was to showcase the Official Trailer (seen HERE) and now they have released a clip called “Slaughterhouse”. That sounds pretty dramatic don’t you think? I know I do and after you see this one you can examine the provided premise and the casting before my always wisdom laden closing editorial thoughts. Let’s go.

Over the last couple of years I’ve been trying to add more of the Horror film releases to our archive of Film narratives in our Pop Culture section of the site and while most have been pure Horror there are also films like “Freaky”. This one is more of a Horror/Comedy and comes from the folks that brought us “Happy Death Day” which I loved the look of but still haven’t gotten around to seeing. Check out the first trailer for this Universal Pictures release along with the premise and casting and I will return with that editorial opinion that you long for 😉
