The acting wasn't that bad, the special effects were okay, it was kinda violent and it was overall pretty entertaining.Sure, the movie was a little bit too long and he gets boring at times but, overall, it was a good movie.

It was wild, wildly imperfect and I really enjoyed it. I couldn’t tell for one second where it was going, but the plot still moved forward in an “okay, that makes since” fashion. In some ways it reminds me of the Kevin Smith movie “Red State” were he kept adding twits to the story in keeping the audience guessing it’s destination, but “Freaks of Nature” is way more silly and fun with a bit of gore. At some times it’s kind of your standard, yet weird, coming of age/fish out of water Hollywood trope~esq. story that we are all so used to. You’re thrust into a world were all manner of creatures live and matriculate together in school and in a small nondescript town. Zombies, humans and vampires all just side by side as if it were normal, but we never learn why. It’s a funny movie, yet cynical. There are a ton of experienced and extremely excellent improv actors cast in this to support the three main characters. Along with the best casting you can do when putting Denis Leary in as the **** they have Keegan-Michael Key and Bob Odenkirk all in very small rolls that help round out the world they exist in. It’s almost worth the time to just see their performances. So, I guess that I’m recommending this, but maybe only to see Patten Oswalt give an end of the world cameo.… Expand

That either means that Columbia Pictures is hoping to develop a quirky cult classic or they're minimizing their expenses on a known loser. In this case, unquestionably the latter. It's set in a small town where humans, zombies and vampires live together until an alien invasion causes panic. While the concept has potential, the execution is a disaster (and not in a good sense). The action is sloppy, the effects are dull and the characters aren't interesting (despite B-listers like Dennis Leary, Bob Odenkirk & Keegan-Michael Key hamming it up). To make matters worse, an unoriginal high-school romance dominates way too much screen time. This miserable failure is doomed to disappear as quietly as it appeared.… Expand

A much better film than I expected. There's everything in it, all the popular folklore characters in one screen. In addition to that the aliens have also made into it, totally something new. Do think only Marvels bring all its superheroes in one place, see this some B movie did it as well. Since you know where this film belongs, I mean like a second string film, you should expect to a same level in order to enjoy it.

First, the writer and director did a good job, followed by the actors. There were three main characters and they were distinct from each other. The supporting cast as well, so good, many decently known names were in that. The story as well had some good twists, since so many concepts was merged, predicting the scenes were kind of impossible. Anytime anything might happen, but overall it was a very well done film. So an enjoyable film with a few laughs.

It is the best year so for if you like B movies, Recent films like 'Cooties', 'Scouts Guide...' and a few others, you won't get a treat like this every year. They all are not top notch, but very entertaining, even if you rate them average. So what I'm saying is, this film is not those big production house's big projects, but it delivered to its capacity and you must keep that in your mind while watching it. I can't suggest it, but I hope you watch it.
