Featurette Explores the Unique Kills in ‘Freaky’ [Exclusive]
After getting a premium release this past December, Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon‘s slasher Freaky has finally slahed its way to all VOD platforms as well as Blu-ray and DVD.
In Freaky, “Seventeen-year-old Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton, Blockers, HBO’s Big Little Lies) is just trying to survive the bloodthirsty halls of Blissfield High and the cruelty of the popular crowd. But when she becomes the newest target of The Butcher (Vince Vaughn), her town’s infamous serial killer, her senior year becomes the least of her worries.
“When The Butcher’s mystical ancient dagger causes him and Millie to wake up in each other’s bodies, Millie learns that she has just 24 hours to get her body back before the switch becomes permanent and she’s trapped in the form of a middle-aged maniac forever.”
Meagan Navarro wrote in her 3.5-star review for BD, “Freaky doesn’t reinvent the wheel in terms of slashers, but it’s not trying to. Much like he did with the Happy Death Day films, Landon blends ’80s movies with the slasher to create a framework for a more poignant tale of a young woman learning to reinvent herself after losing a loved one. Freaky is a love letter to slashers and teen movies, but it’s also a comforting cinematic hug dripping in blood.”
The Killer Switch Edition continues the fun and scares with exclusive bonus content including deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film and a feature commentary with Co-writer/Director Christopher Landon.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at one of the extra features in which the cast and crew talk about the unique kills. “I honestly did not want to make a hardcore slasher film without the gore,” explains Landon. “We went hard at the violence.”

‘Rose of Nevada’ Exclusive Clip Gives Ominous Warning from the Past in Hallucinatory Time Travel Mystery
A strange neighbor’s forboding words act as an ominous warning for the experimental time-traveling voyage ahead in our exclusive clip from Rose of Nevada.
Rose of Nevada opens in New York and Los Angeles theaters on June 19, 2026.
Watch the exclusive clip below, which sees the disoriented Mrs. Richards (Mary Woodvine) accost Nick Dyer (George MacKay), suggesting she knows him from her past, before he embarks on a trip to sea that will change everything.
In the film, “Three decades ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbor, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.”
Edward Rowe, Francis Magee, Rosaline Eleazar, and Adrian Rawlins also star.
Written, directed, edited, and scored by Mark Jenkin, Rose and Nevada closes out the filmmaker’s Cornish trilogy that also includes shot-on-film folk horror nightmare Enys Men and 2019’s Bait. All three films in the experimental series are set along the Cornish coast and were shot on a 16mm Bolex camera.
It’s also worth noting that Woodvine, who appears in the below clip in effective age makeup, and Rowe also starred in the trilogy’s previous installments.
The film is described as a “hallucinatory time-travel mystery.” The press release notes, “Jenkin conducts a cinematic séance, conjuring a portal into another world that forces us to confront the past and our relationship to it.”
