You can’t watch the trailer for Pedro Pascal’s new movie Freaky Tales and not think of the 1990s. Mainly that’s because the film is set right on the cusp of the decade, 1987, but also the idea of a violent, weird, sprawling single California city almost-anthology brings to mind one of the best films of the decade: Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

"Floyd's out there slicing people up with a sword!" Lionsgate has revealed the official trailer for Freaky Tales, an anthology film set in Oakland in the late 1980s. This first premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival a whole year ago,

Four interconnected stories set in 1987 Oakland, CA. will tell about the love of music, movies, people, places and memories beyond our knowable universe.

On Tuesday, Lionsgate released the bloody, action-packed trailer for the upcoming film which stars Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Normani, Tom Hanks, and the late Angus Cloud. It’s set to release on April 4.
