Castle Freak (1995)
Directed by Stuart Gordon
An American family inherits an Italian castle which houses a bloodthirsty monster in Stuart Gordon's 1995 creature feature loosely based - of course - on an H.P. Lovecraft story. Gordon's favorite lead actor Jeffrey Combs (RE-ANIMATOR) stars as John, a man involved in an accident that claimed his son's life. Grieving and troubled, the family's unprepared for another blast of horror when the deformed beast starts prowling the halls. Gordon's underrated film is anchored by a dark, serious tone that's unlike his more tongue-in-cheek efforts, but still just as scary.

Odd movie that had some promising aspects. Barbara Crampton’s acting is great, Jeffrey Combs is sometimes alright with his performance giving some unintentionally funny moments, but it’s dragged down by the third act which introduces sexual aspects that seem to be for lazy shock value. If you’re into that, go ahead.
I wanted to like this more than I did as it stars Crampton and Combs buts it's just ok.
Just as good as I expected from this group of legends

I expected this to be so much worse than it was. The gore was actually pretty convincing and uncomfortable considering the time of its creation. I think that John comes to the conclusion about Georgio a bit out of nowhere, but hey, who cares. This was a very fun watch indeed.
