My Movie Review: The movie is uneven underdog superhero tale that has surprising violence as the waitress have incredible strength to carry her fat manager in the restaurant she work in:) Freaks: You're One Of Us has tricks and style I never seen in other movies that's why it got me thinking why critics don't like as it got 0% Rotten Tomatoes Critics Score, 22% Audience Score! I almost cancel this review but there some elements of it I keep rooting for like familiarity set-up reminds me of the American film Brightburn's dinner power showcase but this didn't go darker:) I like the twist the sort of friend became the villain as he was consumed by his superpower and I didn't see that coming it's exciting in a sense and mostly off-beat you don't expect just arrives! This one is for the whole family no skin shown so you can show this to your kids and don’t expect anything super dark just a little bit danger still has lots of cool moments and works well:)

Movie News: Freaks: You're One Of Us- promising superhero film that soon loses momentum! It's about Wendy (Cornelia Gröschel) is content with her mundane life, which revolves around her son Karl (Finnlay Berger), her nasty boss Angela (Gisa Flake) and pushing her laidback husband Lars (Frederic Linkemann) to save their house. But in the midst, she rediscovers her superpower of super strength, which she has suppressed through years of medication prescribed by her shrink Dr Stern (Nina Kunzendorf). Her colleague Elmar (Tim Oliver Schultz) is as timid as her. However, things change when a homeless man Marek (Wotan Wilke Möhring) makes Wendy realise her true powers, while showing his superpower-invincibility. Soon, Wendy stops taking her prescribed pills and regains her old strength and power but Elmar went shrink’s office. After Wendy confronts Elmar, he realises his electrical powers and wants to claim fame as ‘Electro Man.’ As they understand to use their powers, things go astray!
