I saw "Freaks", starring Emile Hirsch-Lone Survivor, The Girl Next Door; Bruce Dern-The Peanut Butter Falcon, The Hateful Eight; Grace Park-Hawaii Five_O_tv, Battlestar Galactica_tv; Amanda Crew-Charlie St. Cloud, The Haunting in Connecticut and Lexy Kolker-Shooter_tv, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D._tv.
This is a sci_fi thriller with some twists. Emile plays a man that has hidden his daughter, Lexy, in their house for 7 years-she is 7 1/2 years old. He tells her that she has to stay hidden because there are people outside that want to kill them, the same people that killed her mother, Amanda. Emile makes runs outside for supplies and tells her not to leave while he is gone or even talk to anyone if they come to the door-when she does, she is punished by being locked in a closet. Sometimes, when she is being punished, Lexy sees Amanda in the closet with her and doesn't know if it's a ghost or what. Is Emile being paranoid or just being a little over protective? Bruce plays an ice cream truck driver that hangs around a lot in front of Emile's house, selling his wares. Grace plays the leader of a group of armed government agents that Emile seems to be afraid of. Like I said, there are lots of twists, but everything is explained by the end.
It's rated "R" for violence and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 45 minutes.
I enjoyed it and would buy it on DVD.
