Review of Castle Freak (1996) by Erin K — 26 Jan 2008
Over ten years old and this film is still better then most you will see today. Direct to DVD or not the acting is superb, the story is heartbreaking and spine tingling, and the gore is better then most of what Hollywood churns out.
Yet another loving send up to Lovecraft by Gordon and Combs. This is hands down one of the better films I've seen and certainly Gordon's best. This movie is unrelenting in its gore. At one point I actually had to look away and that doesn't happen very often to me.
Unforgiving and unrepentant it will make you uncomfortable and that's what's so great about it. It doesn't hold back and the story doesn't suffer because of it.
