Hey have you ever heard of the movie FREAKED? Probably not, since it only played in a few theaters and made less that $30,000 of its $12 million dollar budget. Don't worry, because James, Justin, Kieran, and Tony from Hack The Movies watched it and are ready to tell you all about this forgotten Alex Winter hidden classic.

Cinemassacre review Demons (1985). Trust me.
I'd love to see you guys review The Last Star Fighter...
I would love to see James review Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
Review J Belushi and D Akroyd movie Niegbhors
I also had that THIS is the movie! Reaction! I had part of this on a tape and had no idea what it was. I also forgot all about Weekly World News!
Awesome! I thought I was the only person on the planet who knew about this movie, loved it as a kid 😃
Same
Same here, I forgot about it completely until this popped up and now I wonder where my vhs copy went.
Me too!
Not alone my friend. I seen this movie as a child myself.❤
Same, I thought it was a fever dream, lol
An outhouse that is larger on the inside.... You can call it a TURDIS. I'll see myself out...
YES! My mom, my siblings and I are proud members of the Freaked cult. We love this movie. It deserves more awareness, recognition and love than it gets.
Useless movie knowledge: Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert cameo in Freaked as the cops in the television show “Crooked Cops” that Randy Quaid’s character is watching when he hears the styrofoam cup fall to the ground.
"Styrofoam cup....Bad for the environment."
How did I not know that😖
Really?
Henry Rollins did the opening credits song, which is very AWESOME
I CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE ELSE REMEMBERS THIS MOVIE! I saw it once when i was 7 yrs old & it stuck in my brain. Everybody thought i was crazy. Thank you @Cinemassacre for proving me right! Keep up the good work.
Me too about the same age 6 or 7
For years I SWORE that I just hallucinated this movie.
You had MY hallucination!
That's a hell of a drug.
Same here
Same here
Adam McLeod Me too! Been searching for it for years just to prove it and now I don’t feel so crazy!
Finally someone is talking about this werid masterpiece!

Cinema for cynics did a fantastic riff track to it on youtube.
I love that lame ass intro.. reminds me of the beginning of the full house and Urkel board James! And happy to see Carl Winslow is part of the Cinemassacre Rental Reviews team.
Uh he's still alive
I die at the "right next to caldors" part😂🤣💀
Lobo Neiner Ohhh, glad to hear he’s still alive 😄
Carl of Duty
Ehhh, feel the intro is a little dated.
I’m from Scotland and I swear my uncle had this on dvd. Watched it when I was about 10 and I couldn’t wrap my head around why it was so good. The style, the pacing of the jokes, the characters.. it’s such an unloved masterpiece!!
8:25 Actually, Kieran, I did notice that when they were dressed as milkmen, one of them was holding the hammer which was also wearing a tiny milkman costume. I didn't notice it again after that though.
Edit: It's Mr. T holding it at 19:08.
To me Mr. T holding the milkman-hammer is the funniest and most understated joke in the whole movie.
Cinemassacre gets sponsorships right. I actually like to sit through and watch them.
They're no Internet Historian, but they're at least having fun with it.
Dear Cinemassacer, this new series "Rental reviews" is awesome ! ...if it's too difficult to produce angry video game nerd vids on the regular, im almost as happy to except this great nostalgic movie series as a consolation prize.
James is one hundred times more watchable when he's just being himself in this. AVGN is just a character and you can tell. It's just him overacting on purpose. I can see it being entertaining to a prepubescent boy. This however can be enjoyed by all age groups.
The “mutated” hammer does make another appearance during the big musical freak montage scene where Rosie the pinhead is hammering something before they reveal she’s hammering a nail through her own hand. Classic
Also the hammer is dressed as a milkman being held by mr T in the milkman scene
You guys gotta do “They Live”
oh come on, you think they dont know that movie? the most famous line ever came from that movie. "i'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and i'm allll outta gum."
+The Gaming Paladin
His comment wasn't "You guys should check out a movie called 'They Live'. I think you might like it." It was "You guys gotta do 'They Live'.", which approximately means: "Hey guys, you like to review movies from your childhood that are awesome/cheesy, and you guys are presumably familiar with 'They Live', which certainly fits that description, so that seems like a natural choice, and I haven't seen you review it before, so I'd like to see you review that one."
That would be a good one.
@SN A Same here, but change 08 to like 2009-10. I always thought that quote came from Duke Nukem, lol.
Batpool Metallicdeadbat Agree
I remember watching this on HBO and always trying to record it on my broken VHS. I loved this movie but my friends weren't into it...thank for reviewing!
"I don't understand Randy's Quaid's purpose". That about sums it up.
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: FRED FUCHS!!!
i know.. i'm shocked too
The 1999 _House on Haunted Hill_ remake has similar opening credits.
Later Clubs were designed to avoid the vulnerability of cutting the steering wheel.
Thanks for talking about this movie, I NEVER see anyone even mention this flick! It's a good one for sure
I was lucky enough to sort of follow the production of this movie. Around 92-93, I would see little blurbs and articles about Tom Stern and Alex Winter (I was a fan of their Idiot Box show) and the Butthole Surfers working on this movie. (Gibby Haynes ends up appearing in the movie) Specifically in SPIN Magazine. I even remember one of the articles showing a screenshot of Keanu as the Dog Boy. I wasn't able to catch the movie till a couple years later on Cinemax or HBO. I've seen it a few times more recently and it still holds up. Hilarious movie.
Alex Winter also directed some pretty creative music videos back in the 90's (Helmet's Wilma's Rainbow comes to mind) and he does documentaries now. He was supposed to direct a remake of The Gate as well, but I haven't heard anything.
He's also going to be in the new Bill & Ted movie that's supposedly coming out this year. IIRC, it's basically completely done, but the release might've been delayed because of the current situation. Like what's happening to a lot of the new movies this year. The new "Top Gun" which was supposed to be out in July and what was one of the big summer movies, has now been postponed until Dec!
2pac is in "Nothing but Trouble"
Reminds me of UHF. I love weird movies.
UHF is a masterpiece compared to this mess.
@@28Pluto are you implying UHF wasn't already a masterpiece
@@jessedanger8788 It's kind of a weird dry ironic sense of humour, it definitely wouldn't be funny to everyone but almost every joke cracks me up without fail every time
Omg i loved this movie as a kid it was so goddamn weird... I actually found it on youtube a few months back and rewatched even weirder now as an adult
Same situation with me.nobody was talking about it then I see this tonight hahaha
I've actually seen this on tv... it's been a while though I was a kid at the time....
That's how I remember it, on Cinemax in the mid 90s.
Screaming Mad George's work in Society was over the top.
I saw this a while back on RUclips and I was so confused but I laughed so much I legit thought no one else had seen this except like 5 other people
Marlfoxmokkan bro I seen this movie on RUclips a couple months ago I gave up halfway through tho movie was to corny for me
Making 6..
I'll saw from 90's.. 🤣
And the song that plays whenever something crazy happens is Sweat Loaf by The Butthole Surfers.
TheGM That’s great.
And Who Was In My Room Last Night? Music Video could have been a segment in the movie.
Aww dude this film is a guilty pleasure of mine. It scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Don't feel guilty this movie stupid fun.
I've had a tiny bit of this movie in my head for decades about the part where the cow man talks about ESP and says that Sokhead has ESPN. I could never remember where it came from. Thanks, James.
Back to The Video Store in 2019❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️★★★★★★★★
Just as long as it's not Blockbuster.....b/c Captain Marvel probably crashed into it....
I'm so glad you kept the theme song!!!!
Lol Cowboy's wisdom cracks me up. And who doesn't love Bobcat Goldthwait?
Loved Bobcat in Scrooged.
Fred Fuchs lmao. Its as funny now as it was, what, 10 years ago?
Stoked you guys picked this movie, didn't think anyone else saw this one. Super nostalgic!
I've been waiting for you guys to talk about this movie. Freaked was great.
Nothing But Trouble is entertaining.
Yep, I liked it. Still do. I reckon it is probably a minor cult movie too.
One of my favorite movies. I'd call it a hidden gem.
Like watching a trainwreck in slow motion, it's horrible but you can't look away.
"Jimmy Hoffa Still Missing!"
Had this on VHS growing up taped off HBO. Oh the nostalgia.
Sorry, I know this video is almost 4 years old, but I saw part of this movie at a hotel when I was a kid and thought it was the greatest thing, but then never found out what it was called. I tried a while back to look it up, but how do you search something like this? Crazy to finally get the name of it after 25 years!
This movie was fun and cool that Alex Winter got Keanu Reeves in it too!
It also has one of the greatest musical credits, the Butthole Surfers.
Hermanos!!
A2Z83 Where’s your question mark?
I love that there's even an old computer behind the desk not just shelves of vhs movies
It's funny how Alex Winters (who directed and starred in this) also directed Smosh The Movie.
Keanu Reeves finest acting work since SPEED
Hey fellas! I'm loving seeing the whole squad more. Keep up the great content!
I remember this movie when it was regularly played in the early 90s on Cinemax. But as usually would happen with movies played randomly, wid-week afternoons, on premium cable channels, I would always catch the last hour of the movie.
Just because a guy doesn't like macaroons
R E D I C U L O U S
Reviewing "I LOVE TROUBLE" would be super hilarious 😂🤣😂🤣 I was happy to see "BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA"😂🤣
@Lobo Neiner I know hes gonna have the funniest things to say about it🤣😂
Deep Roy: I'm the king!!
Powers: Of what, mother fu]
breaks my heart that not a lot of people have seen it, I use to watch it on repeat as a baby
Fun review! Sometimes weird is good :-)
My wife has The Club for her little Versa. I always chuckle to myself whenever she takes it off or puts it on.
I'm going through and watching old rental review videos. I'm pretty sure that this was one of those comedy central repeat viewings that caught my attention, but part of the reason why I love this movie is that your can tell that this is a passion project and that Alex Winter clearly put everything into making this movie as gloriously absurd as possible.
I loved MR T. as the bearded lady. And also cockman lol
Man have not seen this one since I was a kid! I even remembered the Macaroons and the Ending. Lol barely remember this one. So young. Thanks for bringing it back up.
(Born ‘79) I forgot this movie existed. I’ve got to find a copy of this and host a movie night!
6.2 on IMDB. I would buy this digitally if I could find it.
It's on RUclips if you need
@@walrusArmageddon yeah, I posted the link a little farther down.
Wow, 13 million? Can't believe it never came out!
this is one of those fever dream - 3am cable tv - weird and unsettling type of movies - usually a ton of imagination in these, something that current movies lack
Great new series Cinemassacre. Please do a rental review for Rock and Rule. What a buried gem. 👏
Oh wow, I remember seeing this flick on tv way back in the day! I don’t think I ever knew what it was even called. Good to be reminded of it!
Man when he said about the Gyver it brought back memories,, I used to rent it every week as a kid on VHS think I drove my mum crazy with it 😂
Finally somebody reviewed this freaking movie! *Pun Intended*
Nothing but trouble was a masterpiece, you glitch.
Ryan Daniel I agree
Super creepy weird movie.
I've seen this on cable in the early nineties. I could never find this movie anywhere. Thank you for helping me recall such fond memories.
@6:45 Randy's character wanted a big finale to his show where his new favorite freek kills off the other freeks. He didn't need them anymore, and it was showmanship.
@17:59 he wasn't Frog, he was Toad (a play on Toady).
A lot of the character design appears to have borrowed from Big Daddy Roth's "Rat Fink".
I used to watch this movie all the time on cinemax back in the day. I forgot just how wild it was. Thanks guys for brining it back to light.
Man can James get a word in? He's become a side character on his own show... Who are these other guys even?
The kid you thought was named "troll" is Stuey Gluck and is played by Alex Zuckerman,.. he played Latchboy in Hook
Randy Quaid and I both do battle with Santa Barbara.
Aaaaah the barbarians.
The *only reason* I know what this movie was before I saw this video is because it was a commercial on the movie Fatso, which is *itself* incredibly obscure and forgotten. And the fact that the other two commercials on the dvd were of Modern Problems and Moving Violations clued me into the quality of the film I was looking at was.
My hometown video store had this. It still comes on HBO VERY rarely... everytime i rented this my motger shook her head in disappointment.
When I was in 3rd grade we had a copy of the book of this movie. It was one of those thin cheap "movie books" that randomly had a few pages of screen shots from the movie placed in the middle of the book. :o
It's 2020 where's those abs bro.
Believe It or not i had the chance to have seen this when it played late on HBO when i was a kid. I always had memories of the movie but could never put my finger on what it was or couldn't remember it until i came across it about a year ago here on RUclips. I used to love watching this because it was so strange and out of place but fits perfectly with what the 90s were about culturally. Great review gentlemen.
This is seriously the funniest movie I’ve ever seen, and yet it brings out a violent negative response to everyone that I try to share it with.
The Ramada inn towel gag is the stuff of legend
I heard that the reason this movie bombed was because it's distribution was practically neutered. The new producer didn't like it so it hardly got any advertising.
Plz bring this series back I’m on my third re watch
Hey! Hammerench shows up numerous times! When they're all dressed as Milkmen, Mr. T is holding him, and he's wearing a tiny milkman costume.
I'm just here to see if Tony got his six pack abs.
I haven't watched the review at all yet. This was a god damned movie that I tried to tell people about in elementary school and no-one believed it existed.
Saw this on HBO years ago and never even heard it mentioned again till now. Gotta hunt this down now
Hulu and Netflix need to get on this and stream it
It's been well over 20 years since I've seen this movie! I remembered seeing it when I was 2 or 3 on cable!
Tony must be Ron Jeremy's long lost son.
Ha ...long
Keanu Reeves played Ortiz the Dog Boy 😉
I introduced this movie to a friend a couple of years back. Watching it blow her fucking mind was one of my favorite things ever. I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid.
when i watched the gumby scene, i thought i forgot the mirror in front of the monitor again.
I was half-asleep on the couch, flipping through the channels one night when I found this film. I woke up the next day convinced that it was all a dream, and I had forgotten about it until now. I can't believe it was real!
Who is that singing the theme song? Is that Kieran? Lol
I love you guys 😀
the original title was Hideous Mutant Freaks but they had to change it either because Mutants was a marvel word or the title was already used by an older movie
I have never heard of this movie till now. How could this have missed my radar. This is a movie me and my siblings would have loved.
One of those I happen to find on cable one night and never again, couldn't catch the name of the movie nor the actors and there was no internet so... Thanks you solved one of my movie mysteries!!!
Time to weaponize this one on the next movie night with my friends.
alex winter still directs, he still has that style and Keenu does little cameos in them. It's interesting James mentioned Rob Zombie because yeah it's that style but in a nickelodeon sort of way.
I can't believe I've never seen this review by you guys.. I rented this movie as a kid almost every weekend and finally bought it on VHS. I absolutely love this movie
I hate the promotions in the beginnings of the videos honestly. They're done like they're blatantly making fun of product placement but still doing the product placement. Makes no sense.
The part when you mentioned the Peter Gabriel-style claymation made me remember about Moonwalker, it would be a nice film for you to review.
I watched the VHS of that so much as a kid. I agree.
Holy shit I've been looking for this movie for a long ass time. For a moment I thought I made up this movie because it was so bizarre. Thank you for showing this! I'm going to watch it now!
this movie is a staple of my childhood
