Director Christopher Landon’s Freaky is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray today, and as we know, the film was a real success with 83% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and 6.3 on IMDb. Written by Landon himself in collaboration with Michael Kennedy, this film tells the story of unpopular high-schooler Millie, who magically switches bodies with a serial killer as he tries to murder her and must then do something to switch back within twenty-four hours. Despite doing well, director Landon believes that no sequel will be worked out for this film. Landon has previously worked on films like Happy Death Day (2017), Disturbia (2007), and Burning Palms (2010).
Landon justifies Freaky being a standalone film
In conversation with ComingSoon, Christopher Landon said that both the studio and him had reached a consensus about how Freaky is better off as a standalone film. Sometimes when films get a forceful sequel, it just ends up ruining the little good the first film has done, so it is probably for the best that they want to keep it that way. Landon says that his other film Happy Death Day received a sequel because there was an opening for an extension of the story, whereas the same cannot be said about Freaky.
