Welcome to Screen Gems, our weekend dive into queer and queer-adjacent titles of the past that deserve a watch or a re-watch.In honor of queer actor Misha Osherovich landing a new TV series this week, we flashback to last year where the nonbinary performer became an actual star.Freaky, the Blumhouse horror-comedy from gay director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day), stars Kathryn Newton as Millie Kessler, a pretty blond navigating high school alongside her besties Nyla (Celeste O’Connor) and the flamboyantly gay Josh (Osherovich).
A serial killer (Vince Vaughn) settles on Millie as his next target…until he accidentally trips an ancient curse, and manages to swap bodies with her.
