Freaky

A mystical, ancient dagger causes a notorious serial killer to magically switch bodies with a seventeen year old high school student. Millicent now finds herself trapped inside the physical form of an aging, feared murderer hunted by local authorities. Meanwhile, the ruthless criminal enjoys the unsuspecting disguise of a teenage girl to continue his bloody rampage. With only twenty four hours on the clock, the stakes rise as the true owner of each body must reverse the curse before the switch becomes permanent.

The visual style plays cleverly with traditional horror tropes, subverting expectations through creative practical effects and a playful tone. Themes of identity, teenage angst, and unlikely resilience ground the chaotic premise, creating an engaging viewing experience that never takes itself too seriously.
