Freaks of Nature is a 2015 American comedy horror film directed by Robbie Pickering and written by Oren Uziel.
It stars Nicholas Braun, Mackenzie Davis, Josh Fadem, Joan Cusack, Bob Odenkirk, Keegan-Michael Key, Ed Westwick, Patton Oswalt, Vanessa Hudgens and Denis Leary.
[3] The film follows three high-school outcasts whose social alienation is compounded when they join rival species in a town inhabited by humans, vampires, and zombies.
Vampires are at the top of the food chain, both literally and in social circles, and tend to be the cooler kids in town.
Rick fired all of the human employees, including Dag's mother, and replaced them with zombies as cheap labor.
Rick taunts him with this as Dag practices his pitching and he chokes and ends up hitting one of the star athletes, injuring him severely.
When the euphemisms about puberty and "huge changes" make Dag uncomfortable, he stops his well-meaning parents and tries to forget about the conversation.
Just as Dag is finally about to score with Lorelei, out of nowhere aliens invade Dillford, causing residents to believe that the vampires, zombies, and humans are attacking each other.
At Rick Wilson's meat factory, the chemical "Tetrafluoraxipan" is used to transform horse cartilage into a meat-like substance and is what the aliens are after.
It begins to make a speech about how they just wanted to ask nicely for the chemical, but the town's irritated residents interrupt when it starts getting so bad & haywires towards them on their own so they locked the citizens up to protect them from each other.
But unfortunately Petra insults the alien for being condescending and points out it was them who scared everyone in the first place, including and inspiring Rick to throw a torque wrench at the creature.
As everyone runs away, Keller gets smashed into blood drops and Petra is knocked back, accidentally dislodging an ammonia hose.
As the outclassed alien shrinks back to its mini size, it attempts to escape by spaceship while dropping a bomb to destroy the town.
