Castle Freak (1995)
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.

For someone chained up in a room for 30, 40+ years, our Castle Freak had a good understanding of the castle layout, he was suprisingly strong, and too clever for someone who had been...stuck in a room for 30, 40+ years. Didn't make much sense, but there's some good blood scenes.
Grimy filth at its best. top notch acting all around
Made me say Ewww!
Why does it say 1994 and 1995, which is it?
The real Castle Freak was the Jeffrey Combs we made along the way
