An American family (Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Jessica Dollarhide) that has suffered tragedy inherits an Italian castle complete with bloodthirsty monster.

The overall narrative might not be groundbreaking but the confidence in the absurdity and the provocative nature of the direction makes for a weird and wild experience.

A slim tale of redemption and survival, with excitable acting that practically transforms the effort into 3-D, but the macabre essentials are provided with skill by the helmer.

This felt more like an eighties Italian horror movie than a nineties monster horror. It suffers from very little happening which makes it boring to watch. Jeffrey Combs tries to carry the film but even he can’t make it entertaining. I blame the writing mostly, it lacks any depth or anything to make it engaging. There are a handful of memorable moments and excellent set-pieces but they are far too rare to save the tedium. It’s like they built an entire film around four cool scenes they wanted to make. The makeup, gore and location are good and most of the acting. The climax is satisfying. It has a great title but is a disappointing film. It should have been 40 minutes shorter.

Enjoyable enough for Stuart Gordon fans but that's about it

Generic and gratuitous monster movie that whilst it isn't absolutely terrible, isn't really worth the time either.

Castle Freak has a kind of Gothic feel to it with it being set in an actual Italian castle in Italy. This is one of the first Full Moon movies I watched after discovering the Puppet Master series. Also, my first introductions to Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton. A darker movie than some of the other Full Moon movies, but pretty good. (https://foreverfinalgirl.com/castle-freak/)
