Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Frankie Freako is designed to melt your brain. The only question is whether you might welcome such cerebral liquefaction or not. Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Christian Zilko indieWire While the film clearly plays as an homage to the kinds of kid-friendly, horror-adjacent comedies that ruled the ’80s, its charming commitment to a premise whose asininity borders on trolling makes Frankie Freako a distinctly 21st century product. Rated: B Sep 30, 2024 Full Review Katie Rife IGN Movies A self-consciously juvenile pizza party of a movie that's lots of fun if you don’t take it too seriously. Rated: 7/10 Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture The joke is delivered by way of some genuinely inspired puppetry and some cheaply produced but cleverly devised digital effects. Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat If you can imagine 'Gremlins' having a torrid one-night stand with 'Drop Dead Fred,' this would be their love child. Rated: 3/4 Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Eric Goldman Eric Goldman (YouTube) This is a movie meant to feel like it belongs on the shelf of a video store, circa 1989, evoking ultra low budget Gremlins knock offs. It's purposely shlocky and sometimes feels like it's trying too hard but also frequently funny and endearing. Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

rich s absolutely fantastic. practical effects were amazing. it rode the line of bad writing to being hilarious perfectly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review TROY S A lighthearted pizza party of a movie from the director of Psycho Goreman that revels in practical puppetry and ’90s nostalgia. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Moody C It’s the really low budget B fare. Script sucks, acting sucks, fx sucks, production quality sucks, story sucks, and movie sucks. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Audience Member A peculiar piece of pastiche. Gremlins and Weird Science with an acid humor touch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
