FRANKIE FREAKO (2024) — Friday Night WTF! — $6
May 16 : 9:30 pm – 11:00 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“It’s intentionally cheesy, delightfully demented, entirely over-the-top, and makes no apologies for its juvenile jokes and abundant gore.” – Film Threat
From gonzo indie filmmaker Steven Kostanski, director of PG: Psycho Goreman, comes this fun, frenzied late-night pizza party of a movie that riffs on the beloved ’80s microgenre of Gremlins knock-offs: your Ghoulies, your Munchies, your Critters. Workaholic yuppie Conor has a dilemma: no one in his life respects him! Not his boss, not his coworkers, not even his wife Kristina, who thinks he’s an uptight “square”! Conor sees no way out of this existential rut until one night while channel-surfing, he catches a bizarre ad for a party hotline hosted by a strange dancing goblin: Frankie Freako. Conor is entranced by Frankie’s promises of wild and freaky adventures, just a phone call away – could this be just the recipe to spice up his flavorless life? Though it received a limited release in 2024, this lovably silly splatterama has yet to break through the way it absolutely deserves to. Mark our words: FRANKIE FREAKO is the next late-night cult sensation waiting to happen!
