After calling a late-night party hotline, Conor must battle the pint-sized forces of evil – led by Frankie Freako – unleashed through his phone line.

Lightbulb Film Distribution is pleased to announce that Frankie Freako will be released in the UK & Ireland from July 14. Written and directed by Steven Kostanski (Psycho Goreman, The Void), the comedy-horror is a homage to classic 80’s movies like Gremlins, Ghoulies and Critters. Kostanski recently served as prosthetic makeup and effects lead on In A Violent Nature.

The World Premiere took place at Fantasia International Film Festival. Frankie Freako stars Conor Sweeney (Psycho Goreman), Adam Brooks (Dark Harvest) and Kristy Wordsworth (States of Mind). YouTuber Rich Evans (RedLetterMedia) voices Frankie’s nemesis, President Munch.

“We are thrilled to be bringing Frankie Freako to audiences in the UK & Ireland. As huge fans of Psycho Goreman, we jumped at the chance to work with Steven Kostanski. Frankie Freako is a zany, nostalgic ride. It’s time to get Freako!” commented Sales & Acquisitions Director, Peter Thompson.

Frankie Freako will be available to stream or download in the UK & Ireland via the Apple Store, Amazon, Sky Store and YouTube Movies from 14th July and can be pre-ordered HERE
