FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/freaky-tales-review-a-wild-genre-blending-tribute-to-80s-filmmaking/

"Freaky Tales delivers exactly what it sets out to: a hyper-stylized, adrenaline-fueled spectacle bursting with energy and '80s cinema tributes, without any grand thematic pretensions.

While its narrative lacks cohesion and more substantial development of its themes and characters, it more than makes up for it with its frenetic pace, distinctive visuals, and pure entertainment value that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish.

With charismatic performances, an electrifying soundtrack, and an utterly chaotic finale, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck present a film that, while not for everyone, will undoubtedly find its audience among genre cinema and nostalgia fans."

An anthology style film, set over a few chapters, that tie together all the characters. There wasn't too much in character development but it felt like it wasn't really needed since it's broken down into chapters. The premise of each chapter is what amounted to the fun this film is.

It's a little over the top but that's what contributeds to the charm of this film.

I truly appreciate the use of 924 Gilman as a set because, well, i was in my late teens during the year this film takes place and I made many treks from Tahoe area to the Gilman to see shows there, practically from the get go. I feel this film scores well with me because it's the era i came of age.
