Castle Freak
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.

BRUTAL 5 SKULL TWISTED AND WEIRD. COMBS KICKS DT. MONTALBANAOS ASS, LEGENDARY
Watched this with Joe Bob. Another great Stuart Gordon flick with both Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton back again. I absolutely loved this movie. It’s going on my shortlist of go-to movies especially for the gothic castle/monster flick category. I loved the setup, the acting, the castle freak’s design, the spooky castle, and the backstory for the characters. Just an excellent movie overall. This one takes the cake for me.
