A man gets shocked by electricity arcing off his body in Frankie Freako.
The Big Picture No one makes movies like Astron-6 alumnus Steven Kostanski — that's not hyperbole. The Canadian renegade behind bold low-budget oddities like Manborg and Psycho Goreman delivers do-it-yourself effects work ranging from gootastic gore to layers of alien makeup applications. The filmmaker's canon hallmarks are cartoonish violence, absurdist humor, and after-midnight appeal, which makes Frankie Freako somewhat of a departure.
Release Date July 24, 2024 Director Steven Kostanski Cast Conor Sweeney , Adam Brooks , Kristy Wordsworth Main Genre Horror Writers Steven Kostanski What Is 'Frankie Freako' About? Frequent collaborator Conor Sweeney stars as Conor, the everyman mayor of Squaresville. Conor’s boss, Mr. Buechler , thinks his boardroom presentations are boring, and his gun-loving wife Kristina wants more than sensual hand-holding in bed.
The "Freakos" themselves are a randomized trio of party animals: care-free Frankie, gunslinging cowgirl Dottie , and Boink , the gadget wizard with the catchphrase "Shabado!" They're a ragtag collection of monsters like you pulled Garbage Pail Kids cards at random, with puppetry that reminds of Mandy's Cheddar Goblin — hands move mouths, not animatronic rigs.
Thankfully, Kostanski's no dummy. Conor is eventually kidnapped along with Frankie and his cohorts and transported to the Freakos’ planet. Putty faces get melted, we quickly understand why Frankie had to flee home when the tyrannical Munch became leader , and our soda-burpin' heroes face a disgusting abomination of a final boss while Conor's dressed in a less-revealing Zardoz-esque costume.
