The latest film in the Transformers franchise arrives on VOD this week, along with the new thriller Azrael, starring Samara Weaving, and the weirdest movie of the week by far, Frankie Freako.
Frankie Freako, which feels like it owes a debt to ’80s classics like Howard the Duck, Gremlins, and Child’s Play, stars Matthew Kennedy as the voice of Frankie Freako, a grotesque “rock and roll goblin” who runs a party hotline. When a bored yuppie named Conor (Conor Sweeney ) calls the number hoping to spice up his life, he unwittingly unleashes Frankie’s evil forces and is unable to contain them.
These are just a few of the films that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
