FRECKLED MAX AND THE SPOOKS

A bittersweet, slapstick cross between MONSTER SQUAD, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and the Island of Misfit Toys, FRECKLED MAX is a nostalgic Gothic fairytale about broken hearts and monsters who long to be loved for who they are. This feature-length condensation of the Euro TV miniseries “Frankenstein’s Aunt” is a cascade of moments filled with Slovak director Juraj Jakubisko’s trademark surrealism and haunted poetry. What makes FRECKLED MAX so memorable and heart-tugging, though, are the unexpected moments of sadness with the orphaned monsters and their orphaned human friend: "When someone ends up alone, he turns into a ghost," as Count Dracula sighs.
