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.

Let's go Brandon.
A good fun dark slasher film with some great makeup and acting.
Unwatchable.
Way better than I was expecting, having heard about it from a buddy who consumes trash horror like candy. Good ending too. **SPOILER** Glad the “hero” got redemption but didn’t see the end. For that, five skulls instead of four.
Lots of fun unique movie with a sympathetic monster.
