Freakout!

A few years ago, when I wrote/designed for the Bloody Good Horror Page I was lucky enough to gain access to all of the screeners and all sorts of other freebies reserved for those smart enough to start a semi-successful movie review site. Throughout my tenure with the site (its entire existence), both my brother and I were able to meet tons of awesome people including the actors/voices behind Candyman, Chucky, Jason Vorhees, Chewbacca, and Lardass among countless others.

FREAK OUT's Pro/Antagonist (Yes, he should look somewhat familiar)

On top of these brief meetings/conversations, we were also able to build relationships with some lesser known but immensely talented indy filmmakers/directors that were looking for the type of promotion that only a site with our underground focus could really provide. The strongest relationship we built was with a pairing of wily Brits that were promoting FREAK OUT! their (at the time) UK-only horror comedy. We were lucky enough to snag some viewing copies and watch through numerous times, and we were not only impressed by how funny the movie actually was, but how personable and thankful Christian James and Dan Palmer (writers/directors/stars) were. I'm writing this because they just recently obtained their first U.S. release of this film, and I think it's worth picking up. In the process, you'll be supporting two stand up guys that just wanted to make an entertaining movie, and who doesn't like that?
