Freaky Tales

excellent, if you were a teenager in the 80s this has more easter eggs and references than anything i've ever seen.

Short story movies and shows are really my thing. I love the dichotomy of different stories told together, but separate. If there is any connective ticket between the stories then that is the real great sport. This one delivered, sometimes more than others.

Rating: 3.5/5 - 80% - Would Recommend

any movie where nazis are wiped out deserves an extra star.

The sum of the parts sometimes exceeds the whole. This film might normally reside in the mid-6s, however, I've bumped it to a 7. 6 is still good, although I can see people possibly going with a high 5 (but nothing lower). This film came out of nowhere for me. It features 4 interconnected stories... and a number of memorable characters. However, like many anthologies or collections of short stories, none of the four episodes really feels complete... especially the third (and best). However, they all have highlights and are all worth watching... and the way the stories overlap is nice.

The director appears to be following up this film with another movie presenting a series of interlocking stories. Based on this, I look forward to it. This film is worth a shot. Stick with it. There are some good performances, it's original (if not filled with homages) and quirky - with style to boot. Oh, and if you don't fall in love with the character of Tina, you may not be human.

Bigger budget installment of that sweet retrowave dollar with eh... references... to b-movies and later movies inspired by said. I guess the 80s retro romanticism is over 20 years old now so it is fair enough. At times too clever and contrived, yet manages to stay entertaining throughout. And offers solid satisfaction with nazi skinheads getting a well deserved beating by punk rock kids.

That said, I'm getting tired of Pedro Pascal in every damn movie everywhere.

Experimental filmmaking at its finest and probably one of the most memorable independent films of the year. The casting, to begin with, is perfect, and I wouldn't want it any other way now that I've seen it. The soundtrack is perfect too, even in the very risky rap battle scene. I like how the runtime is divided into four original stories, each intertwining with one another, showcasing similarities and differences I could not stop wanting to spot. I love how it's set in the famously rebellious era of the '80s, with emotional, impactful, yet highly unserious stories. The writers clearly gathered inspiration from other films, and I'm so glad they did.

Enjoyed this one a ton. It's not serious and there's homages for days. Worth a look for fellow 80s cheeseballs. I enjoyed each story which is more than a lot of reviewers are saying. Surprising 7.3 for me.

Tales from the Hood meets American History X meets Kill Bill. Features a very diverse cast.

major slay (pun intended), idk seemed 100% real to me

I didn't really know what to expect. And even after watching, I'm not sure how to describe it.

An anthology of four tightly coupled stories, set in the 1980's, not with any specific new things (you can see Quentin Tarantino movies, Stephen Kings Maximum Overdrive, 80's revenge flicks, multiple dance movies etc all represented) but combined in a unique way.

I say relax, give it a true, but only if you are ok with lots of violence
