Freaked

1993 comedy

Rating: 10/20

Plot: An arrogant former child actor is hired as a spokesman for a company that produces toxic chemicals. He travels to somewhere in South America to check out the goods and stumbles upon a freak show in the middle of nowhere. The proprietor, Elijah Skuggs, kidnaps the actor, his friend, and a woman they picked up while she was protesting the toxic chemical company and uses a machine and a green slime to turn them into freaks. With sock head, dog boy, a bearded lady, worm man, a guy who farts fire, and some other freaks, they conspire to escape from Skuggs' clutches.

I may have given this 7 bonus points for a Larry "Bud" Melman cameo. There are some humorous moments, but they aren't moments I'm going to remember in a week. A lot of the humor's too cheap or awkward, and the special effects, though occasionally nifty, are often really stupid. An interesting soundtrack with the Butthole Surfers and Blind Idiot God. It's probably not a good thing when the movie that most closely resembles the movie you're watching is UHF.
