Trivia
A promotional poster for the film features a street sign with a one eye logo and a phone number to call to report "abnormal activity". The number is 1-800-517-5890 and when called, a recorded message with a woman's voice would say, "Thank you for calling the abnormal defense hotline, provided by the Department of Homeland Security." The recorded message at first urged others to be on the lookout for "freaks" and it said that you can leave a message to report any abnormal activity from freaks. A few days later, the recorded message was changed to warn others to stay away from an upcoming San Diego Comic Con "free underground prescreening of Freaks" on July 18, 2019.

Goofs
Agent Ray says to Henry, "I can still smell the hydrogen peroxide on your face." Hydrogen peroxide is an odourless compound, which breaks down into oxygen and water: both odourless. Agent Ray would not be able to smell any trace of the peroxide.

Abnormals are dangerous

Oct. 2

Here's The Lowedown on "Freaks" (R - 2018 - Blu)

Genre: Sci-Fi/Thriller My Score: 7.1

A bold girl discovers a bizarre, threatening, and mysterious new world beyond her front door after she escapes her father's protective and paranoid control.

"Abnormals are dangerous and we can't let them live free." I came into this movie not knowing a lot about it. I wouldn't classify this as a horror movie per se, but it does have a definite "Firestarter" vibe. If you don't have any expectations coming in, this movie will keep you guessing until the end. Aside from some pace and story issues, this is a solid watch.
