Avowedly intended to be the most disgusting film possible, Freddy featured such set pieces as Green swinging a baby by its umbilical cord, doing unmentionable things with horses, and many creative uses for meat. Although Green's cinematic escapades earned a few comparisons to 1970s performance art, Freddy Got Fingered was mostly blasted for its technical crudity and general witlessness, and died a swift death at the box office. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide
