The best quality of Freaks Out are some nice visuals and that somewhat crazy story. But to be honest, the movie never reaches the highs of the classic The Wizard of Oz or the momentum and explosion of action of Guardians of the Galaxy (inspiration sources co-author Guaglianone mentioned in some interviews). I also detect some similarities to movies like Pan's Labyrinth, Hugo, Hellboy and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Anyway, production is good, acting solid, the story interesting enough, but in the end just a blend of many ideas of some different sources. Anyway, if you like one or all of those movies mentioned, you may take your chances with Freaks Out. Exact rate 5 + 1 for the wild blend.
