Freaked (1993) [second viewing]

In lieu of a traditional review, I will instead present a small list of reasons exactly why I love Freaked.

The hammer flashback; Mr. T giving beauty tips; Rastafari eyeballs; "MACHEESEMO!"; "Fiddle Faddle?"; Toad eats an airplane; a turd that looks like Kim Basinger -- naked; Paul Lynde; "The good news is, I found these delicious macaroons and there's enough for everybody!"; the styrofoam cup; Alex Winter playing Beast Boy playing Laurence Olivier playing Richard III; endlessly inventive makeup FX; Megan Ward (she's cute); random Bob Vila abuse; "Additional Music by Paul Leary, the Butthole Surfers and Blind Idiot God"; the Gumby cameo; Professor Nigel Crump; projectile vomit; the fact that films this delightfully random and unpredictable are all too rare and should be treasured.

Grade: A-
