In the first five Final Destination films, death itself creates Rube Goldberg machines out of everyday objects, constructing freak accidents to kill people who previously escaped its grasp. The latest iteration puts a new spin on the formula by making death\u2019s wrath a generational curse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein took their role of carrying on the series seriously, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/horror\/599421\/final-destination-bloodlines-directors-interview-special-imax-version\">poring over the series\u2019 previous movies<\/a> for visual and narrative inspiration. But before they were turning family barbecues into death traps, they wrote and directed a very different thriller about a family in peril.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The suspenseful genre-bending film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/9\/11\/17846252\/freaks-review-trailer-bruce-dern-emile-hirsch-lexy-kolker-tiff-2018\"><em>Freaks<\/em><\/a> is a mystery box in the style of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2016\/3\/11\/11194186\/10-cloverfield-lane-review-an-intense-and-thrilling-joyride\"><em>10 Cloverfield Lane<\/em><\/a>, and you\u2019re best off just cueing it up on Netflix or renting it via Prime Video and going in entirely blind. But if you want a bit more persuasion on why you should check it out, I\u2019ll do my best without revealing too much.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe title=\"FREAKS Official Teaser Trailer (2018) TIFF Horror Selection\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bJBladwAGio?rel=0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The film follows Chloe Lewis (Lexy Kolker), a 7-year-old who has never left her dilapidated home. Her father Henry (Emile Hirsch) keeps the windows covered at all times and the door sealed with a ridiculous number of locks, warning Chloe that he\u2019s protecting her from bad people who would kill her if she went outside. They share meals of canned salmon and ante up giant stacks of money on poker games, with Henry periodically fretfully leaving to gather supplies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Chloe\u2019s upbringing makes the suburban setting around her seem post-apocalyptic. The clash between Chloe\u2019s curiosity and Henry\u2019s caution, combined with the girl\u2019s longing for an absent mother, is reminiscent of the opening of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/22517814\/sweet-tooth-review-netflix\"><em>Sweet Tooth<\/em><\/a>. But between coloring sessions and lessons about the alphabet, Henry coaches his daughter to lie about her identity and childhood, teaches her meditation techniques meant to help her keep cool under pressure, and references bribing a neighbor to adopt her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The mystery unfolds slowly through glimpses of the world Chloe sees out her window, where birds are stuck in the sky and a too-friendly ice cream man (Bruce Dern) seems to be perpetually parked outside her door, tempting her with bubbles and frozen treats. The extremely disturbing drawings that fill Chloe\u2019s room give way to the visitation of \u201cghosts\u201d who haunt her closet, and jarring scenes where perplexed, out-of-place characters wander her shoddy room.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/before-final-destination-bloodlines-the-directors-made-an-unsettling-stranger-things-style-sci-fi-thriller-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Freaks <\/em>is about the limits of parenting, and the battle of wills between Henry and Chloe. But the question of who\u2019s the true villain in their relationship is hard to answer, as both of them alternate between being sympathetic and monstrous. The plot explores themes found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/stranger-things\"><em>Stranger Things<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/24176428\/the-boys-season-4-review-new\"><em>The Boys<\/em><\/a>, <em>Looper, <\/em>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/what-to-watch\/561594\/sinners-twilight-zone-inspiration-last-rites-of-jeff-myrtlebank\"><em>The Twilight Zone<\/em><\/a> episode \u201cIt\u2019s a Good Life,\u201d recognizing the borderline sociopathy of young children and the peril of trying to control their lives or shape them with a purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As the twists fall into place, the film is at times deeply disturbing. But it can also be extremely funny, thanks to the banter between Hirsch and Dern, who clash over their goals for Chloe. <em>Freaks<\/em> has some spectacular action sequences in the vein of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/tv\/2017\/6\/12\/15782150\/sense8-netflix-cancel\"><em>Sense8<\/em><\/a>, Chronicle, and <em>Push <\/em>that are light on special effects and heavy on creativity and pathos.<\/p>\n<p>Not everything about the film works. It\u2019s a bit overlong, dragged down by explaining things that don\u2019t need to be spelled out. Lipovsky and Stein\u2019s attempt to cram in a political message feels hollow, as they explore the persecution of minorities, the threat of drone strikes, and a debate about the difference between \u201cabnormals\u201d and \u201cfreaks,\u201d meant to evoke politicized language choices like \u201cillegal aliens\u201d vs. \u201cundocumented immigrants.\u201d Still, <em>Freaks <\/em>is a wild ride that keeps delivering surprises up until its very satisfying conclusion.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Freaks<\/em> is streaming on Netflix, or available for digital rental or purchase on Amazon, Apple TV Plus, and other platforms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/recommends\/599522\/freaks-2018-stranger-things-final-destination-bloodlines-connections\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a 14-year hiatus, the Final Destination horror franchise returns to theaters on May 16 with Final Destination: Bloodlines.
