Plot: John Reilly (Jeffrey Combs) has come to Italy with wife and blind daughter in tow to arrange for the sale of his newly inherited castle. Unbeknownst to these folks, the duchess who willed the castle t...( read more read more... )o Reilly kept her kid shackled in the dungeon, lambasting him regularly with a wicked cat-o'-nine-tails. Though the duchess is gone, the eponymous freak remains, now fully grown. As the family moves into the castle to await its sale, internal conflicts concerning Reilly's guilt over the blinding of the daughter, and the blame from his wife, further fracture their unstable family unit. Castle Freak escapes his shackles in search of food, and more importantly human warmth. The Freak just doesn't know how to express his need for love in a socially acceptable way, however, and seems destined for an unsavory end at the hands of the something-to-prove Reilly, who must find some way to route to vicious creature. But there's more than one way to skin a cat (though they only use one of those ways in this picture). Fitting addition to the oeuvre of splatter specialist Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator). --Jim Gay

    Not quite up to Re-Animator/From Beyond standards, but still pretty good. The blind daughter made my loins tingle.

    It was so obviously a Stuart Gordon movie. Could Jeffrey Combs's character BE less likable? He's an alcoholic, child-killing, hooker-hiring, drink-driving, adulterous, neglegent dad.

    If you haven't seen this movie, you should watch it just for the part where the castle freak LITERALLY eats some hooker's vagina!

    There's some crazy strong violence in this one that propelled it above it's weak script. Anytime you see a prostitute's breast bitten off, well, I hope you're watching this movie.

    Things go a bit awry towards the end but this is certainly above average fare and Jeffrey Combs is in it being awesome!

    This movie is just fuckin' creepy. No matter who you are, there is going to be something in this movie that creeps you out or makes you feel just plain uncomfortable...

    When I was younger, this movie scared the hell out of me and my little brothers one night on a cable-channel monster movie marathon.

    Seriously freaky! I can't believe that the deformed prisoner had his penis cut off long ago by his mother. *shudders* UGH!

    This movie made me laugh really hard back in Highschool. I feel like if I watch it again I would be wasting my time.

    Good performances can't quite make this one work. All these Full Moon movies are shot in some castle in Romania and it shows. At least this is supposed to actually take place at a castle in some foreign locale.

    I adore Full Moon's line of horror films. And this might be one of my favorites. If you can find this (or you can buy it pretty cheap), I reccomend picking it up. Also, for Re-Animator fans, Jeffrey Combs and barbara Crampton together again!

    We have yet another winner. It wasn't as good as Re-Animator, but it was still fun. Plenty of blood, not so much gore, for everyone!
