But, when Elizabeth opens the box causing Fred to reappear, she is drawn into a raucous series of new, highly destructive, and hilarious adventures.

Although derided by critics upon its initial release, Ate de Jongs DROP DEAD FRED has since become a cult favorite, earning a hardy reputation as one of the strangest and most unhinged family films to ever emerge from a major studio.
