Unbeknownst to these folks, the duchess who willed the castle to Reilly kept her kid shackled in the dungeon, lambasting him regularly with a wicked cat-o'-nine-tails. Though the duchess is gone, the eponymous freak remains, now fully grown. As the family moves into the castle to await its sale, internal conflicts concerning Reilly's guilt over the blinding of the daughter, and the blame from his wife, further fracture their unstable family unit. Castle Freak escapes his shackles in search of food, and more importantly human warmth. The Freak just doesn't know how to express his need for love in a socially acceptable way, however, and seems destined for an unsavory end at the hands of the something-to-prove Reilly, who must find some way to route to vicious creature. But there's more than one way to skin a cat (though they only use one of those ways in this picture). Fitting addition to the oeuvre of splatter specialist Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator). --Jim Gay Average Rating:
 Rating:  - THIS ONE'S DEDICATED TO THE ONE I HATEREAD THE WHOLE REVIEW! FIRST OFF, YES I KNOW, I TOOK THE TITLE FROM CAPTAIN INSANITY'S REVIEW OF "MACHINE GIRL". Captain, if you're reading this, that's kind of my way of a tribute to you. =) BUT ANYWAY, "Castle Freak" is A TERRIBLE WASTE OF TIME! HOW DID THIS MOVIE WIN AN AWARD FROM FANGORIA? I GUESS YOU CAN TELL THAT HORROR WAS A DYING BREED IN THE '90s. Anyway, this movie was so bad I had to shut it off 31 minutes into it. THAT'S RIGHT, I COULDN'T EVEN GET THROUGH THE WHOLE THING!!! ... Read More Rating:  - I Don't Know Who's Sloppier; The "Freak" or Stuart Gordon?Well, the freak isn't actually a "freak". He's more the product of poor parenting (that's putting it mildly). I haven't seen everything Stewart Gordon has done, but I've seen enough to know he always had the potential to make a less than stellar film. "Castle Freak" is the evidence. The title of this film conjures up so many ghoulishly delightful images in ones mind. My imagination had all kinds of demented scenarios for this film. None of them were quite as lifeless as this. While trying to figure ... Read More Rating:  - Best offering from Full Moon Castle Freak is one of my favorite horror movies. of it's type.. It's not a slasher but some slashing occurs. I think I like it so much because the Castle Freak is so realistic looking and scary.As I mentioned about the creature in my review of "The Funhouse"..no matter how hideous The monster is, he is still humanized enough in the story for you to feel sorry for him at times..He has the same needs and desires as other men do but is a product of his deformity and environment. Read More Rating: - DARK MOVIE THAT ECHOS OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT.'Castle Freak' is a 1995 straight-to-video movie directed by Stuart Gordon and is adapted from H.P.Lovecraft's short story 'The Outsider'. It stars Jeffery Combs, Barbara Crampton, Jessica Dollarhide, and Johnathan Fuller. Out story starts out in an isolated 12th century castle in Italy, we see the resident, and elderly dutchess who seems to be somewhat senile, preparing some food in the kitchen/pantery. She then takes a plate of bread across the castle grounds to another wing and into the lower ... Read More Rating: - Sadly Underrated... Excellent Horror Film !Stuart Gordon's "Castle Freak" is a fun and creepy classic. I personally love this flick. The acting is well done, the story is quite a chiller and the "Freak" has got to be one of the most ghastly, realistc & underrated monsters within the world of horror films. There is a sprinkle of cheese on top of what is mostly a solid substance filled scary movie. I also enjoy the straight fowardness of it. What I mean is with Re-Animator we get zombies(not real) and with From Beyond we get fantasy horror(again not real) ... Read More |
