The anthology film has a rich legacy that spans multiple decades, including the Amicus and Hammer horror collections. 'Freaky Tales' pays tribute to this legacy through a compilation of four stories developed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Set in Oakland in 1987, the film captures the essence of the 1980s with its traditional production techniques. A luminous alien substance, highlighted by green lighting in the background, acts as a unifying element among the four stories. These tales feature a far-right gang attacking an audience at a music venue, a rap battle between two female artists, a debt collector facing off against his boss, and a basketball player confronting local criminals. While the story of the debt collector carries some weight, the other narratives lack uniqueness, except the final tale, which is a graphic gore spectacle reminiscent of both Cronenberg and Tarantino's 'Kill Bill', itself an homage to Shaw Brothers cinema. Experience a range of films with engaging narratives.
