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.

Dated, not scary, and not much action, but I would recommend watching it! There are definitely a few unique things in this movie that I enjoyed.
Great movie
Ridiculous and brilliant. Highly reccomend!
Good movie. Nothing to write home about, but good.
Its almost like a Jack Ketchum story, if he tried to write gothic horror (See 'off season' and 'the woman')
