Frankie Freako (2024): Why Weird Movies Still Matter

Ben and Rob phone ‘Frankie Freako’, the latest low budget creature feature from Steven Kostanski that completes an unofficial trilogy of modern cult chaos. Made with rubber puppets, absurd creature designs and pure genre conviction, Frankie Freako leans hard into the legacy of VHS era monsters, late night cable movies and franchises like Ghoulies, while proving once again that small budgets and big ideas can still thrive outside the studio system.

Is Frankie Freako a love letter to genre movie making or a deliberate test of audience patience; how does low budget filmmaking become a strength rather than a limitation; and where does this sit alongside his winning movie Psycho Goreman? Is this the perfect example of love it or hate it niche storytelling; and what does Frankie Freako really mean in a landscape where safe films dominate and weird voices struggle to survive?
