Freaky (2020)

• Rating: 16+
• Runtime: 102 minutes
• Director: Christopher Landon
• Main cast: Vince Vaughn, Kathryn Newton, Celeste O’Connor, Misha Osherovich, Uriah Shelton, Dana Drori, Katie Finneran

A teenage girl is attacked by a serial killer with a magical knife. Instead of killing her, the knife causes a body swap between the teen and her would-be murderer. Now, the girl has 24 hours to switch back into her body before the change becomes permanent. Unfortunately for her, the killer has plans to use his brand-new body to keep his killing spree going.

Disney’s Freaky Friday movies are a major influence on this horror comedy. There’s lots of blood but also lots of great humor, and Vince Vaughn in particular, is clearly having fun when his character’s body is inhabited by the wallflower teenage girl.

Coming out the same year as the similarly themed No Strings Attached, Friends with Benefits is easily the better film, with tons of charm and some solid lead performances. If you’re in the mood for a feel-good movie night, this is definitely one of the best movies on Freevee.

Eight Men Out (1988)

• Rating: 6+
• Runtime: 119 minutes
• Director: John Sayles
• Main cast: John Cusack, Clifton James, Michael Lerner, Christopher Lloyd, John Mahoney, Charlie Sheen, David Strathairn
• Genre: Drama, History, Sport
• IMDB rating: 7.2

John Sayles directs this drama chronicling the Black Sox Scandal, when a group of Chicago White Sox players, underpaid for their services, accepted bribes to deliberately lose the 1919 World Series.

One of the best sports films of all time, Eight Men Out isn’t quite as beloved as it deserves, though it routinely makes it onto best lists for the genre. Told like a sports drama, crime film, and legal procedural, the film captures a fascinating time in the history of baseball, putting a human face on a huge scandal.

Sharing many plot points with the Australian film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar reflected changing attitudes towards gender and drag queens in the 1990s. It’s a smart, funny, and endearing road film.

Promising Young Woman (2020)

• Rating: 16+
• Runtime: 114 minutes
• Director: Emerald Fennell
• Main cast: Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, Clancy Brown, Jennifer Coolidge, Laverne Cox, Chris Lowell
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery
• IMDB rating: 7.5

This wild thriller sees a young woman coping with a traumatic event in her past, seeking out vengeance on the men who wronged her, all while she lets her barriers down to pursue a possible romance.

This Academy Award-nominated film has been hailed as an instant feminist classic by some and dismissed as a cheap piece of exploitation by others. We have to give it its due for tackling difficult subject matter with a fiercely cynical sense of outrage that can’t help but provoke strong reactions.
