Synopsis

We see a couple having breakfast while a radio reporter mentions various murders and atrocities. The wife then strangles her husband at the kitchen table. That doesn’t work, so she switches to the meat cleaver.

A girl and her brother make plans to go to the big Halloween party tonight. They put poop on some guy’s car handle and run off.

Jack Foley is running for congress. He’s also screwing a prostitute while they watch his campaign ad in the motel room.

Meanwhile, the murderous wife has to dispose of her dead husband’s body. She puts down paper and uses the electric carving knife to dismember him in the bathtub. We see flashbacks to the husband beating her with a belt.

The young duo talk about some girls who went missing, abducted by some kind of a cult. They talk about the costumes they plan to wear to tonight’s party.

Jack Foley hires a new prostitute, but get Tasered by a woman in strange makeup. The young duo get beat up by their father, but they turn the tables on him and leave. The wife goes to dump the body parts at the local lake, but gets grabbed by a strange bald man when she arrives there. Sarah, the girl with her brother, meets the strange makeup woman at the Halloween party. Sarah goes for a walk and runs into the strange bald guy who abducted the murderous wife. Sarah witnesses another girl getting drilled in the eye by two makeup-wearing girls before being attacked by the bald man.

Before long, most of them wake up in cages, captured by the cult known as F.R.E.A.K. Who torment them in various ways for the rest of the film. FREAK, of course, stands for “Fucking Reckless Extreme Asshole Killers,” but you probably already guessed that. The rest of the film is essentially a torrent of blood-soaked bouncing boobies and excessive gore.

Commentary

This film is brought to us by “The Sleaze Box,” and it’s budget was FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS, so you know it’s going to be special! Actually, the gore effects were really good, the acting was decent, and it seemed well written and directed. It’s very low-budget and high-sleaze, but they did a lot with what they had.

The first 30-40 minutes are well-acted setup, and everything from the 40-minute mark forwards is torture of various kinds without much in the way of “acting” going on. The nearly an hour of gore and sleaze shots wore me down, but it’s good if you’re really into that kind of thing.

Overall, I’d have to admit this was quite a bit better than I expected going in.
