Freaked

I got this movie based on a recommendation from a friend. It’s waaaaay out there, but it features a hilarious cast of decent actors – Bobcat Goldthwaite, Brooke Shields, Randy Quaid, Keanu Reeves, Mr. T., with cameos by Morgan Fairchild and Larry “Bud” Melman. It’s about this chemical company who makes toxic fertilizer. Since it’s been banned in the US, they have to fly it to south America to sell it. One of the locals there is using the chemical to create mutant deformed freaks and running a sideshow. The mutants ban together and try to take over the show and break free (and maybe get cured from their freakism). It’s a pretty awful movie, but there’s something fun and campy about it. I didn’t hate it, but there’s going to be a select audience for it. Plus if you like Randy Quaid, he does a hilarious job in this film.
