FREAK OUT (Full Trailer)

In 1977, teenager Wayne (Nick Foster) gathers his two friends, female runaway Rhonda (Sarah Ogg) and disco club hopper Tim (David Gobble), for a drug party located in the suburban home of quiet recluse Dean (Brad Jones). But unknown to Tim and Rhonda are the horrible secrets which lie in Dean's basement storage room. Dean is the uncaptured child murderer who uses his basement as a torture dungeon with the help of Wayne and fellow teenager David (Buford Stowers). When the drugs and alcohol mix get higher throughout the night, not even so called friends are safe from the sadistic bloodlust of Dean. Inspired by a true story.

"Freak Out" was the first full length film from Brad Jones (who is currently seen on youtube in the comedic role of The Cinema Snob) and debuted in one theater in the fall of 2004. It has since won awards for various performances, but has yet to receive a DVD release. It is very loosely based on the last night in the life of real life serial killer Dean Corll.

We did take a lot of liberties with the movie, mainly for legal reasons. For instance, the true story was in 1973 in Texas, and the movie is in 1977 in the midwest, plus the last names are different. But we tried to be relatively accurate with the story itself.

I must ask, was this based on a true story that occurred in early 1970s in Houston, TX? Case where a Dean Corll and two accomplices killed some 27 teen age boys and the entire ring was unraveled on August 8, 1973?

I was not in Texas back then but know the Heights area well and cant help but wonder the many times I may have drivin by the family homes of some of those who once lived in that area. Sad times in Houston for sure.

I am curious to know if this is based on that story?

[StonedGremlin]

Yeah, it's loosely based on that story.

[juanitomarihuanito]

Looks astonishing, but, are you going to upload it on YouTube?

[StonedGremlin]

I wish I could, but given the nudity and stuff like the castration sequence, I don't think it would remain up for very long. I'll try to find another site to post it on though.

[texasraven69]

Thank you for commenting back. I am the Rhonda this the film is about. It's very frustrating to see all the stuff about myself that I know is far from the truth.

[juanitomarihuanito]

Castration scene? SOLD!

@texasraven69

It must have been a night to die for.

[SARDU1976]

@StonedGremlin, why was the movie filmed in black and white? Is it because Elmer Wayne Henley's art is painted in black and white or is it simply for dramatic effect?

[mrrocansword]

@texasraven69 Who will tell us the truth then? :-)

[jackattack501st]

I watched this, and since my uncle was involved in the whole thing, and I showed the movie to him and he said it was pretty accurate.

[jackattack501st]

@thecinemasnob Well, maybe j=his methods aren't, but some of it holds up, my 2nd cousin was friends with the accomplice David.

[jackattack501st]

@pnub47 Dude, I actually got to see it, it's a pretty okay representation of what Dean was up to in the 70's.

[jackattack501st]

I figured it was about time for someone to have the balls to make a movie about Dean Corll.
