Blumhouse's Freaky is a horror movie starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton. What does its ending mean, and how does the body swap magic work?
Blumhouse's Freaky movie ending brings the horror comedy’s body-swapping storyline to a conclusion in a subversively empowering way. Conceived by Happy Death Day’s Christopher Landon as an oddball blend of Freaky Friday and Friday the 13th, Freaky combines the familiar body swap movie formula with the grisly tropes of the slasher genre. Kathryn Newton stars as Millie Kessler, an anxious high school student, opposite Vince Vaughn as the Blissfield Butcher, a notorious local serial killer.
Why Didn't Millie & Her Friends Destroy La Dola? In the third act of Freaky, Millie uses the mystical dagger, “La Dola,” to get her own body back. The climactic twist pays off an earlier scene in which Millie was advised to set her watch a couple of minutes ahead so she would never be late. Just when she thinks she’s missed her chance, she remembers her time-saving tactic.
How The Body Swap Magic Works When the Butcher stabs Millie in the shoulder with La Dola, an identical wound appears on his own shoulder. The dagger is an Aztec artifact imbued with an ancient magical curse. That curse, paired with the full moon and the Friday the 13th attack date, caused the body swap. The following morning, Millie and the Butcher wake up in each other’s bodies.
When the deaths of Ryler, Mr. Bernardi, and the jocks all go to trial, Millie might struggle to clear her name. Her older sister Char, a police officer who’s respected in the community, will vouch for her. But even with Char’s testimony, it’ll be tricky to convince a jury – much less a judge – that Millie magically switched bodies with a murderer.
