Workaholic yuppie Conor Sweeney (star of “The Editor”, “Father’s Day”) has a dilemma: no one in his life respects him! Not his boss, not his coworkers, not even his wife Kristina, who thinks he’s an uptight “square”! Conor sees no way out of this existential rut until one night channel-surfing he catches a bizarre ad for a party hotline hosted by a strange dancing goblin: FRANKIE FREAKO. Conor is entranced by Frankie’s promises of wild and freaky adventures, just a phone call away - could this be the recipe to spice up his flavourless life? Home alone for the weekend, Conor works up the courage to dial the number for the Frankie Freako hotline. As soon as the call connects, it unleashes CHAOS into his white-collar world, releasing Frankie and
his troublemaker friends from their dimensional prison. It’s a race against time as Conor must defeat the rambunctious ruffians and clean up their trail of destruction before Kristina returns from her trip, all while going on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. It’s a wacky FX-driven horror-comedy in the style of “Gremlins 2” and “Ghoulies 3: Ghoulies go to College”.
Crew will be in-attendance for an after-screening Q&A!

"It’s delightful, it’s silly, and it’s often extremely entertaining. If you yearn for a fun retro throwback to the era of Boglins, pay-per-minute infomercials, and beige yuppie suburban households, this is the film for you." - Bloody Disgusting
"Frankie Freako is a throwback to the “tiny terrors” movies of the late '80s and '90s with charmingly crude puppetry and practical effects." - Collider
