REVIEWED
“Now just open those meat drapes and let the show begin.” - Habagail Folger (Asia Argento)
'Live Freaky Die Freaky' is a batshit insane, bizarro oddity that crudely attempted to be a musical stop motion animated social satire, based around the infamous Charles Manson Family killings of the 60's. It features Green Day's Billie Joe as Charlie Hanson (*not Manson*) and Ozzy's daughter Kelly Osbourne as Sharon Hate (*not Tate*). Pretty much gives an alternative version on the killing sprees facts.
For me the gags were far too heavy handed to really hit home, though I did chuckle once or twice. And I admired the subversive tone and sheer audacity of what filmmaker John Roecker tried to pull off. Just a shame Moral Orels Dino 'Starburns' Stamatopoulos wasn't involved, cause this is the kinda shit he'd rip up.

Most the giggles come from the vacuous socialite Sharon and her gay hairdressers hedonistic lifestyle. And of course Charlies warped dialog, which there wasn't nearly enough of.
