Castle Freak {2020}
Fangoria and Full Moon are presenting a fresh new take on Stuart Gordon’s 1995 horror flick Castle Freak
RLJE Films will bring Castle Freak to On Demand and Digital HD December 4. Kathy Charles wrote the remake, directed by Tate Steinsiek. “After she’s permanently blinded in a tragic car accident, Rebecca’s receives some bizarre news: her long-lost-mother has recently passed away, leaving her their family’s ancestral castle. Traveling to the estate with a group of friends, Rebecca hopes it will be an opportunity for her to reconnect with a past she never knew—and a mother who seemingly left her behind. When mysterious happenings begin to occur and her friends begin to die, Rebecca must unravel her family’s mysterious history before she too falls prey to the Castle Freak.”

I watched this a couple of weeks ago, not nearly as good as the original. The acting was sub-par and even though it's basically the same story, the "Freak" wasn't really explained at all. We just got some scenes of him being beaten but I don't remember them going into any explanation why he was in the castle. Of course I could have missed something, it was pretty slow in the first act and really not very good so I might not have been paying close attention. There wasn't nearly as much goo coming off the freak or gore as the original which I wouldn't expect in a modern horror even on a lower budget. Plus, no Jeffrey Combs so...
Cheers

It was all right. I dug how it was trying to be more Lovecraftian, and trying to tell a new story instead of a beat for beat remake. If you have Shudder and nothing else to watch then it's worth a watch. But I wouldn't go out of my way to see it. Oh yeah and the titular character is a girl not a guy in this one.
