The 2020s have been home to some great original slashers, and one of the best is the comedic body-swapping slasher, starring Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn. Freaky follows high school senior Millie (Newton), who manages to swap bodies with a notorious serial killer known as 'The Butcher' (Vaughn). So yeah, it's basically "what if Freaky Friday was a slasher movie", but that's far from a bad thing. The film uses its body-swapping gimmick for some great comedic antics while never coming off as obnoxious as it so easily could have.

It's a great watch, and easily one of Blumhouse's best efforts of the 2020s thus far.
