day director christopher landon brings a new twist to the slasher movie when catherine newton's high

don't freak out can we talk about that freaky ending
we're going to get into all the bloody details that happened at the end of
freaky here so if you have yet to see the new blumhouse movie here's your spoiler warning i
highly recommend you check it out it's a ton of fun just check out what critics are saying
we're going to talk about the body swap magic used in freaky and speculate how the film could
creak open the door for a slasher sequel let's jump in what happened at the end of freaky
freaky ends when the blissfield butcher and millie finally collide just before the 24-hour window for
the body swap is about to end fading milly to be in the body of a wanted murderer all her life
while the serial killer hopes to take advantage of hiding in the shadows as a teenage girl
i want my body back come and get it millie in the body of vince vaughn and her friend
josh and celeste retrieve the ancient knife from her sister's police precinct
and use it on the butcher in the body of catherine newton as it happened before
at first they think they are too late due to a watch being set a couple minutes early but
yay for punctuality just following the body switch back to the right bodies the police
arrive and shoot the blissfield butcher dead door so we think we then meet millie back in
her home with her mom and sister who are having a sweet evening together following a wacky 24 hours
millie and her mom have a heart to heart about her going away to college instead of her feeling the
need to stay with her after this the blissfield butcher returns to finish off millie for a final
standoff she is able to defend herself with the help of her sister and mom and she drives the leg
of the chair into his chest making him really dead this time how the body swap magic works
freaky is set in motion during a murderous rampage for the blissfield butcher who kills
off a number of teenagers in the town where catherine newton's millie lives while millie
is waiting to be picked up from school after a game as the school's beaver masket she has a
confrontation with the butcher who pins her down and uses a mysterious ancient knife to stab her
this is the device that enacts the body swap magic for freaky pair some nondescript aztec magic with
it all happening on friday the 13th and voila body swap it's pretty classic for body swap movies to
use some sort of unexplained old magic to set in motion the circumstance remember in freaky friday
with lindsay lohan and jamie lee curtis their swap happened thanks to fortune cookie magic
at a chinese restaurant set off by the owner of the restaurant the blissfield butcher stole
the knife from a glass case in the mansion in the beginning of the film i imagine it is an artifact
out of some form of archaeological excavation that the butcher accidentally came across
the movie leaves its origins to the imagination such as if it only works on friday the 13th or if
that was a coincidence so there's more freakiness the movie doesn't even go during its run time
is perfect you couldn't last one day in my high school that's all about to change
the open wounds freaky left us with what's interesting about the ending of freaky is the
magic object that led to millie and the butcher to switch bodies is still around once the credits
roll the high schoolers do not think to destroy it leaving the potential for more body swap fun not
only that there's a strange air of introduction and open-endedness about the end of freaky
that makes one believe that it could theoretically continue millie and her friends celeste and josh
were a blast to watch hang out together we'd easily spend more time with them not to mention
all the murders millie technically committed only is that psycho wearing my body he's killing it
how will millie explain to everyone that it was not her even if she has an explanation
it doesn't mean everyone will accept it and with kills comes the possibility for revenge does the
blissfield butcher have any connections who could be coming looking for him what about the owner of
the magical knife there's more story here and the film's producer jason blum has already said he's
ready to make a sequel to inverse there's a lot of body swap possibilities but what about vince
vaughn oh my god did you just pierce it could vince vaughn return for a sequel as it stands
according to the end the chances of vince vaughn returning if a sequel does come for freaky feels
unlikely the blissfield butcher died twice the last time with a stake through him it would be
redundant for a third helping that is unless bonds butcher had a twin brother of some sort
i would not rule it out though christopher landon did something wacky with happy death day to you
by having tree be part of a time loop and parallel universe yes a day reset when you died right yeah
i might be able to help with that i died 11 times
allowing for more of the magic from the original to continue there could be more to the magic
of the knife we've yet to see and a freaky sequel just wouldn't be the same without him
vince vaughn is not one to make sequels though i'm actually really liking this for you
you
