Movie Review Friday: Opening everywhere today, Freaky. When a darling high school cheerleader is attacked by a serial killer, something very strange happens, they switch bodies! The teenager turns into a killer, the killer turns into the hot high school girl. It’s a comedy-horror movie with plenty of both. Creative, full of surprises and laughs. Perfect for a Friday the 13th release. Vince Vaughn is the killer turned cheerleader and Kathryn Newton is the cheerleader turned killer. (Rated R) – (101 Minutes) – (3 ½ Stars). … Also opening in wide release, Wolfwalkers. An animated, family film packed with magic and a pack of killer wolves set in the 17th Century. Fabulous story and the animation takes you to a different dimension. It’s charming, thrilling, beautiful and it jumps off the screen. Take the kids and pack the masks (Rated PG) – (3 ½ Stars).
