If you mean Freaks (2018), it is a science-fiction thriller about Chloe, a seven-year-old girl kept inside by her father, Henry, who warns her that the outside world is dangerous. When a mysterious stranger gives Chloe a glimpse beyond the house, she starts to question what she has been told. The danger is real, but her father’s account is not the whole story.
The title can also mean Netflix’s separate German film Freaks – You’re One of Us (2020), which follows a woman who discovers she has supernatural powers.

What is Freaks (2018) about?
Chloe has grown up inside a house under her father’s protection and control. He tells her that people called Abnormals make the world outside dangerous. A mysterious stranger offers her a chance to see beyond the home, setting Chloe on a path to learn what is really happening and why her father has kept her hidden.
The film’s suspense comes from Chloe trying to make sense of two things at once: what her father may have concealed from her, and the genuine threat beyond the house. Netflix’s regional listing describes it as a thriller about a mysterious young girl uncovering frightening truths as she begins to make contact with the outside world. The distributor’s synopsis likewise centers on Chloe, her father’s warnings, and the stranger who changes her view of the world.
