Plot: Director Stuart Gordon delivers another chilling tale with CASTLE FREAK. A dysfunctional American family learns that they have inherited a 12th-century Italian castle and travels to visit it. As soon as they arrive, strange things start happening--bizarre noises come from deep within the castle, and objects turn up mysterously broken. The family's blind daughter begins telling stories of someone visiting her room at night. When two bodies are found in the dungeon savagely murdered, the family must unlock the castle's evil past in order to save themselves from a similar fate. Dispensing his usual 50/50 mix of horror and comedy, Gordon makes this an out-and-out horror film complete with monsters, old castles, and plenty of bumps in the night. Excellent writing and good performances give CASTLE FREAK depth and character development rarely found in horror films, making the scares all the more

 Decent effort is watchable thanks to the veteran genre cast and Gordon's usual steady direction. One of Full Moon's best efforts.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
It's always fun to see Combs and Crampton in decent roles in a horror film, especially when it's directed by Gordon, and this film is no exception. Nowhere near as solid as "From Beyond" or "Re-Animator," of course, but it's recommended only because it delivers enough of the goods to justify its existence.-- (eSplatter.com)
