So being a film news editor is one of the few jobs where you won't get in trouble for being on social media all day, as you can find nuggets of film news every now and then to retroactively justify all that time wasted to your boss. Today, though, has been a treasure trove, as not only did we find out about MORTAL KOMBAT's impending release, and the new poster design for Ryan Murphy's AMERICAN HORROR STORIES, but now producer Jason Blum has confirmed a release date for FREAKY's VOD release:

Meanwhile, FREAKY – directed by Christopher Landon and starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton – is coming to drive-ins and select theaters tomorrow, November 13th! Here's the official synopsis:

Seventeen-year-old Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton, Blockers, HBO’s Big Little Lies) is just trying to survive the bloodthirsty halls of Blissfield High and the cruelty of the popular crowd. But when she becomes the newest target of The Butcher (Vince Vaughn), her town’s infamous serial killer, her senior year becomes the least of her worries.

When The Butcher’s mystical ancient dagger causes him and Millie to wake up in each other’s bodies, Millie learns that she has just 24 hours to get her body back before the switch becomes permanent and she’s trapped in the form of a middle-aged maniac forever. The only problem is she now looks like a towering psychopath who’s the target of a city-wide manhunt while The Butcher looks like her and has brought his appetite for carnage to Homecoming.

With some help from her friends—ultra-woke Nyla (Celeste O’Connor, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), ultra-fabulous Joshua (Misha Osherovich, The Goldfinch) and her crush Booker (Uriah Shelton, Enter the Warriors Gate)—Millie races against the clock to reverse the curse while The Butcher discovers that having a female teen body is the perfect cover for a little Homecoming killing spree.

So what do you guys think? And what other sci-fi/fantasy gimmick should be applied to a slasher film that hasn't been tried yet? Either way, sound off below!
