7 sourcesSynopsis
In 1987 Oakland, a mysterious force guides The Town's underdogs in four interconnected tales: teen punks defend their turf against Nazi skinheads, a rap duo battles for hip-hop immortality, a weary henchman gets a shot at redemption, and an NBA All-Star settles the score.
Critics consensus
Bold, funny, and overall entertaining, Freaky Tales is a vibrantly well-acted period piece that makes up in style what it lacks in narrative substance.
Audience consensus
Freaky Tales wears the cult in its sleeve and keeps Oakland at heart, delivering a freak-ing good movie with ‘80s vibes to spare.
