Very good!
I loved this movie, it is so worth watching and rewatching again and again.The actors/actresses are great and tell the story perfectly! It is a great addition to the vampire/werewolf/zombie/alien horror genre, comedy too!

“That was my bowling arm!”
Bizarre, to say the least. The plot involves a small town that has been divided into three territories. A section for vampires, a section for zombies, and a section for “normal” people. But the kids from all three sectors have to attend the same school. And this is a school where the bullies are real monsters. The film starts with an overused device, the false start. Then it abruptly stops during an exciting point of action to fall back to what happened yesterday. The problem is, yesterday is not particularly interesting or entertaining. Yesterday is a drag and a drudge to get through. The people in this town and this school are overwhelmingly nasty and vicious. This is an odd way to start a comedy, with people displaying unsettling fits of rage. The story also relies heavily on the usual awkward social problems apparent in all movies about high school, compounding these typical problems with the students being zombies or vampires. The movie doesn’t become exciting until the aliens show up to complicate things further. Then chaos ensues and things become frantic and funny. But. You shouldn’t have to wait and hope that a movie will eventually get better. A good movie should be good right from the start.I like it for the last half which was truly funny.

An enjoyably warped movie with a delicious twist near the end.
I was surprised and delighted by the reveal, even though I had been forewarned by a wife who has not eaten brains in a long time. She officially objects to the implication that she is a zombie, but as you will soon see in Freaks Of Nature, zombies have all the brains. Josh Fadem was incredibly talented and a pure joy to watch. Nicholas Braun and Mackenzie Davis were convincing and professional. But other than Josh, the greatest fun was offered by Joan Cusack and Bob Odenkirk, who deftly served up a tasty triple-entendre. Josh, Joan, and Bob were hilarious and sublime, setting up the payoff with exquisite skill while straight man Nicholas pitched a perfect game. Highly recommended, especially if you watch it with a smart spouse.

Funny and enjoyable, but blows it in the end
This movie is well-acted with good special FX and some genuinely funny moments - it never feels like it is trying too hard to be clever or humorous. The world building could have been stronger, but I don't hold that against them - they just wanted a fun premise that could carry a plot. The plot is mostly fun, but it loses me at the end because one side has a strong point, but the movie rejects that and expects me to agree with them. F that. F that right in the A. I think it was supposed to be a joke, but it fell flat if so.

Underdeveloped
The story exists on an Earth where humans, zombies and vampires all coexist in relative harmony. It follows three teens - one from each race, who are faced with an alien invasion, and their efforts to rid the planet of them.The film commences with the alien invasion and then quickly backtracks to the days before in an effort to explain the motivations of the three lead characters and how they came together. The pace of the film is relentless and this over-enthusiasm in keeping things moving along means that other things seem to have gotten sacrificed. In particular there really isn't much happening at all apart from all the action and interactions between the humans, vampires and zombies. Of course, this is all done with loads of gags which, unfortunately, aren't all that funny.There seems to have been enough money available in the budget to allow for pretty good makeup and some special effects, and this does help boost the entertainment value. However, by the time the end rushes around the whole thing feels a bit flat and pointless.

"..VERY COOL AND ORIGINAL BLEND OF HORROR-SCI-FI-COMEDY.."
PLOT...In Freaks of Nature, we welcome you to Dillford, where three days ago, everything was peaceful and business as usual: the vampires were at the top of the social order, the zombies were at the bottom, and the humans were getting along in the middle. But this delicate balance was ripped apart when the alien apocalypse arrived in Dillford and put an end to all the harmony. Now it's humans vs. vampires vs. zombies in all-out, blood-sucking, brain-eating, vamp-staking mortal combat - and all of them are on the run from the aliens. It is up to three teenagers - one human, one vampire, and one zombie - to team up, figure out how to get rid of the interplanetary visitors, and try to restore order to this "normal" little town.This movie is quite simply a little gem that popped out of nowhere, a terrific blend of zombie and vampire horror comedy with an alien twist thrown in the mix, seeing these come together in one movie works really well with a smart story and great laugh out loud comedy that's well written, the characters in the movie are all great lead actor Nicholas Braun is really good and vampire girl Mackenzie Davis is great too, the effects in this movie are really well done, a great budget spent well by the looks of it, the movie is bloody and comically gory in places, this is certainly higher up than your usual straight out to home video efforts, make sure you check this one out, top entertainment.UK DVD only,The USA Import Blu-ray has a great picture.Blu-ray is region free ABCFeatures include an alternate opening, deleted scenes, gag reel.English, 92-mins, 2015.

Ungenutztes Potenial
Eine Stadt, in der Menschen, Vampire und Zombies zusammen leben; aber sich belauern. Als Außerirdische auftauchen glauben alle die anderen stecken dahinter und fallen übereinander her. Es wird nicht besser als die Aliens ihre Invasion beginnen.Hört sich brauchbar an, nutzt aber sein Potential nicht annähernd.Um ein FSK16 zu bekommen wird bis auf eine Szene mehrheitlich auf Blut und Eingeweide verzichtet, was die Schlacht harmlos werden lässt. Statt einem Schlachtfest der Lebenden gegen die Halbtoten und Untoten verkommt die Handlung zu einer Teen-College Loveinterest Story. Enttäuschend
