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.

simply the best, you already know it
Lived it. Great intense parts.
Impressed! Very solid movie! Some scenes were pretty intense.
Stuart Gordon made a serious classic horror. I have been avoiding this movie for years, thinking it was something else. My mistake.
Watched this with Joe Bob & it was NOT a fun 90’s horror like I thought it’d be. It was dark and twisted and ahead of its time.
