What Is Freak About?
The premise of Freak without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.
After a 25‑year confinement in a maximum‑security asylum for the criminally insane, a hideously maimed, homicidal maniac bursts out, turning the tranquil countryside into a brutal nightmare. His grotesque, scarred visage is as lethal as his murderous drive—if looks could kill, he’s cornered the market. The horror is raw, unfiltered, and truly ugly.
