Our take

Freaky Tales (2025) is a film. It is rated R. In 1987 Oakland, a mysterious force guides The Town's underdogs in four interconnected tales: teen punks defend their turf against Nazi skinheads, a rap duo battles for hip-hop immortality, a weary henchman gets a shot at redemption, and an NBA All-Star settles the score. Expect strong language, action violence, suicide themes. Best for mature older teens and adults
