Great sci-fi films are hard to find, but the level of intensity and bravura performance that come from Freaks make it worth every moment.

Directors and writers Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein have created a film brimming with immeasurable talent and intrigue, and it shows.

It revolves around seven-year-old Chloe, a strange young girl kept hidden in her home by her father, who believes the outside world carries incredible danger.

But as her world changes and unravels, she’s caught between obeying her father or wondering if he’s lost his mind.

With some incredible performances from the young Lexy Kolker, who is a sure rising star, and Emile Hirsch & Bruce Dern, this is an underrated film you really need to check out.
